just spent like three and a half hours blocking transmisogynists and people who have a lot of them in their orbits. for a feeling of accomplishment, i guess.

shocking literally no one shinigami eyes is catching urls brought to my dashboard by someone reblogging......l@rk@ndk@tyd!d.

#it's very fun when it's like. ah. this account. maybe this is just a fandom that a few friends have. or maybe they're a cryptoterf. #either way it's to the block list with thee. #anyway gonna flag literally all of them with shinigami eyes and see if suddenly i have a bunch of shinigami eyes on my dashboard. #it will be fun.

the mining dwarfer seems to pick his axe at night

#fully assumed that the mining dwarfer bit was as intentional as pick his axe. anyway. claps.

the thing is. i so rarely see urls that have been flagged by shinigami eyes that i am pretty happy with my dashboard.

Do you know if there's any links between chronic pain and hrt [testosterone] usage?

My chronic pain seems to get much better when I use testosterone reliably/regularly which fascinates me because I can't think of a reason it should be doing that. Have been wondering if I just got lucky or if it's part of a broader pattern :0

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Photographers all know about polarizing filters. They remove reflections off the surfaces of objects. We use them to see into water or windows that are obscured by those reflections. But anything with an even slightly glossy surface has a layer of reflection on top. So if you have a shiny green plant, it can remove the shiny and reveal a very saturated green underneath. Polarizers also remove a lot of scattered and reflected light from the sky. Which reveals a deep blue color you didn't even know was there.

Here is a photo I took of my circular polarizer.

And the first thing I noticed when walking outside during the eclipse was the color of everything was more saturated, just like in that circle. Apparently, an eclipse significantly reduces polarized light and I got this creepy feeling because I was only ever used to seeing the world like that through the viewfinder of my camera.

The other thing I noticed was my outdoor lights. I leave them on all the time because I never remember to turn them on at night. And usually the sun will render them barely visible during the day. On a very sunny day they almost look like they are off.

But you can clearly see they are shining and even flaring the camera during the eclipse.

Our eyes adjust to lighting changes very well so it was hard to tell how much dimmer things were, but that is a good indication. I took this photo a few minutes ago and you can see how dim the lights appear after the moon has fucked off.

I did a calculation using the exposure settings between these two photos. The non-eclipse photo has 7 f-stops more light. That is 128 times or 12,700% more light.

A partial Pringle eclipse cut the sun's light by 99.2% and somehow our eyes adjusted to make it seem like a normal sunny day (with weird ass saturated colors).

Like my understanding, which may very well be flawed, is that I'm in general not supposed to engage with the pagans and their worship

Unless there are idols around in which case it's on sight I'm supposed to be destroying them

#minyanier #i am. very obviously. not doing that.

hey good faith question- do you mind elaborating on judaism’s belief of g-d not being the ‘one true g-d’ and just the ‘g-d of the hebrews?

sure, but keep in mind that I wasn't raised in a religious house, so I'm not an expert and this could be inaccurate, you could wait to see if other people would elaborate in reblogs or replies.

a lot of religions have the belief that they worship the true g-d(s) and everyone else is wrong and are worshipping (a) false g-d(s). I believe Christianity works like that.

in the Tanach, there is no claim that other religions' g-ds don't exist, in fact, there are instances were miracles from other g-ds happen, but the jewish g-d is described as unique and stronger than others.

for example, in the story of The Exodus (is that how יציאת מצרים is called in english), when Moses comes to the Pharaoh for the first time to ask to release the Hebrews, he showcases Hashem's (the Jewish g-d) strength by turning his staff into a snake, the Pharaoh's magicians(?) then proceed to also turn their staffs into snakes, but Moses's snake eats theirs. the story doesn't show their g-ds as non-existent, they gave the magicians the same powers as Hashem, but the power of Hashem was stronger and thus Moses's snake won over the other snakes.

foreign worship is banned in Judaism, not because the foreign g-ds are false, but because they're not Hashem, I don't know how to explain it but that's how it works.

#when he took us out of egypt he rebuked their gods. fuck them gods he said; and everybody cheered. #anyway. hashem is the creator of the world and then the whole world said hey fuck that shit when he was like try this new religion #TRY IT he said. no said the jews but quieter this time. and made a golden calf as soon as moshe's back was turned. #AND SO THE NEW RELIGION WAS PUT INTO PLACE. #anyway mine own personal understanding is that judaism is like; fine with the concept of other gods #we personally just cannot engage due to the exclusivity contract; but FUCK idols though. #minyanier

One big frog this, many little frogs that. What about regular frog? What about Pharaoh had never seen regular frog before and got really really scared?

roommate showed me his gargoyles (not a euphemism) only they weren't gargoyles they were grotesques, because they don't serve any functional architectural purpose (ie: as waterspouts), so i had to restrain myself from a category 5 pedantic fun ruiner moment

really enjoying this series
