This is pretty important to read.
while I’m here:
aspartame does not give you cancer
gluten is not bad for you if you’re not allergic/don’t have celiac disease
superfoods aren’t real, they’re just healthy things with maybe some nicer levels of certain vitamins
vaccines do not cause autism or really anything else and the chemicals present in them that typically scare you are in such minute amounts that they do precisely fuck-all in your body (we’re talking scales of one part per million)
you cannot do a cleanse or diet to “rid your body of toxins,” your kidneys and liver have that covered
GMO foods will not kill you; most genetic crop modification just makes our crops hardier and produce more food (and genetic modification doesn’t inject more chemicals into your food, it’s just minor altering of DNA that is made of the exact same stuff your DNA is made from)
if you feed your cat a vegan diet I will personally come to your home with the skull of a long-dead predator, point out the shape of its jaw and teeth as indicators of predatory feeding habits, and then beat you with it

Not just creatives,
No one seems to want to pay scientists either
DO NOT BE THIS PERSON.
Just. Don’t.
This should be common sense, I don’t care how old you are. You are not entitled to -anything-. I bust my ass and make a living just as hard as anyone else does and this crap right here? Biggest slap in the face to artists that is humanly possible.
I’m sorry if some of my items are expensive but here’s the thing: That’s what they cost to make. This is my livelihood. This is literally what I do for a living. It helps feed me, my critters, my boyfriend, and pays the bills. It is my job and I love it and I deserve to be fairly compensated for my time, materials, and work.
So, don’t pull this crap online. Don’t pull this shit in stores. Don’t pull this asshattery at cons. Just. Don’t.

Guess who is 27 years old and just got laid off?
It's me. I did.
Probably for the best. Not a lot of room for advancement at that job

Apologies
I have been gone from tumblr for a bunch of garbage reasons and half excuses. I'm sorry I didn't answer or respond to any mail. And it feels weird to answer them after such along time gone. If you really want to talk to me, I am back now, so talk away.

As a plant biologist I can second the oddness of plants. Also, every cell in a plant has the potential to be any other cell in a plant. It is called totipotence and it is freaking crazy.
Circus Tree: Six individual sycamore trees were shaped, bent, and braided to form this.

Reblog if you don't have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
That’s a lot of notes. Let’s all date each other. Everyone get into groups of two.

Method Predicts Use-by-date for Bubbly
In the rare case that New Year’s revelers have a bottle of leftover bubbly, they have no way to tell if it’ll stay good until they pop the cork and taste it at the next celebration. But now scientists are reporting a precise new way for wineries — and their customers — to predict how long their sparkling wines will last. The study appears in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
