yippe traffic light trio!

I am very normal about traffic light trio I absolutely do not have a album with over 120 photos of them-

not too proud of how the colors came out but I still like how it turned out :]

Please, if you have nothing else to do, please look at what is on the Golden Records, alongside the Soundcloud uploaded by NASA of the greetings recorded on the record. There is such a quiet vulnerability to knowing that these records have been created and are at the mercy of whomever finds them. I hope they love us as much as I love them.

I hope we can send more out - we deserve to be remembered, alongside this entire world. There is truly no place more special to me than this world💛

#positivity #i hope we all eat well #i hope we are all remembered by people we will never be able to fathom #the records were made by NERDS and i adore all of them #i love how much they thought about what they should include and how they thought through how to convey information #you don't get it you don't GET it every DAY i pray that SOMEBODY out there has sent out their own golden record do you GET it....... #i yearn to know every little thing about every type of people in the universe. i would kill and die just to have the chance to know #even IF the life out there is 'simple single-celled organisms' i don't CARE!!!! i need to know they exist #i need to know WHAT they are or WHO they are. i want to know every tiny microscopic thing about them #this applies to my fellow human of course but it applies to everything. i need to know it ALL #i feel like a caged tiger if you're wondering

#semi out of context twitter repost but #listen i was mid convo and i had a revelation #new buzzfeed quiz just dropped how deep are YOU into the queer vintage anime pit of doom??? #yes this is how i got into it (stage 0 and 1) #kawoshin is a retro anime mystery busting gateway drug #im on like level 16000 but that's like. literally beginner level i am a single celled organism who knows nothing #layer 2450 is looking up old shojo magazine covers and shuddering saying 'oh...its blonde blue eyed white people all the way down' #and layer 2457 is trying to figure out what to make of that information and exercising nuanced internal criticism of it #layer 0 can also be 'eva akira and utena are THE retro anime it doesnt rly go back further i think maybe unless its a popular long shonen' #not that all those onions would be expressed at omce #layer 7329 is remembering your kuroshitsuji phase and awkwardly side eyeing the alois kid once you watch the kazeki ova #actually some of these are sooo poorly scaled listen i wasnt planning on making a huge metaphor cut me a little slack #anyways its definitely like slipping down a massive hole but like a cool one like in alice in wonderland #and it smells of old books in both a pleasant way and a spooky way #i need to get mentally better to clear floor 45000 and become jp fluent to clear floor 65000 im a noob

i have decided (in my insanity) to draw something yume nikki related for every day of february

here is day one and two (no effect and midget respectively)

Ive been deciding what effects to draw on a wheel. next one up is flute!

#i freaking love the midgets they look so silly and dumb #single celled organisms #crushes all of them with a hammer #yume nikki #yume nikki fanart #madotsuki #my art

All I think abt is watchdogs (/hj)

quil. quil very important question. if vampire skin is like metal, do they even need bones? like. do they need the support that they provide, or does the harder skin make them structually sound? or would they just crinkle like a soda can without the bones?

An excellent question! I can't give a concrete answer (if a concrete answer has been given it's eluding me, but it may exist), but instead just my reasoning and understanding of the biology. When I was describing it as metal, that was purely a comparison about how you wouldn't be able to tattoo/pierce it--it's actually described as marble much much more in the books, but that still comes back to your question.

I think vampires may not need bones for structure, as their skin is hard (though still malleable), but bones have many purposes beyond holding your body up. Their muscles still need something to attach to, leverage against, and move in order to produce locomotion. If they had no bones, they'd have no movement. So they do need bones, but their bodies may not need them as crucially for structural integrity.

Those are my thoughts, at least. I'm not arbitrator of vampire biology, and the official illustrated guide doesn't discuss bones. But I hope that helps!

#quil's queries #camelspit #the twilight renaissance #bones do so many things it's wild #actually that's true about practically every single body system and organ and tissue and-- #and! we're /still/ learning about more that they all do! #in my first anatomy class i realized there's actually so many things going on that we don't know #they were like yeah this one cell has a flagellum (not a sperm cell). we're not sure why #and I sat there like???? you don'tt??? know why??? #heLLO??? #for some reason I hadn't realized there were more questions #but that's a whole different thing

anyway our CNS & brains are pretty complex, like we've barely figured out getting people with partial spinal cord damage back driving their own bodies + when we do it's still a roll of the dice & the processes are not all well understood... encephalitis can caused locked-in-ness like with sleeping sicknesses, akinetic mutism, etc where the body itself is not physically incapable of movement & action, but nothing is out there that jumps in and takes over from a driver who's paralyzed or asleep at the wheel... that's not actually a thing, it's fun speculative fiction but not representative of reality— so really, no worries lol

#the other thing is... we're megafauna? #like cordyceps hitches a ride on hymenoptera to get from point A to point B as part of their life cycle. no conscious goal #bc people often say ''oh a fungus/virus/microbe WANTS to spread & reproduce'' it doesn't WANT shit. #it is a single cell organism & s/t not even that— viruses are weird & not even always technically alive UNTIL a host or vector is infected #but my point being... we're like ''gone girl''... #amy dunne saying ''you think you'd be happy with piggybacking on my body on the way to something else? no way baby! I'm it.'' #microbes don't NEED to do all that highly specialized evolution to take over my legs like that & walk over to a tree. #cordyceps needs more than one ant. nothing needs more than a potential for human to human transmission x 8 billion. #and you don't need my brain or body control to do that when you have my blood my spit my lungs etc #path of least resistance + greatest effectiveness; a zombie virus doesn't need to evolve. we have aids we have rabies we have sars #give us scurvy and it's curtains lol... we don't need viral zombies if a new strain of polio makes a comeback. #we're the tripods in war of the worlds and it's our own planet that can kill us with a cold. #but it's more fun to catastrophize about a Big Scary Fantasy Germ than to be like ''get a DPT vaccine.'' #it won't be zombies; it will be infinitely more mundane; it will be infinitely worse.

Jane Prentiss’s landlord underwent pyroptosis send post

#Jane Prentiss #TMA #MAG 55 #immunology #pyroptosis #I’m lowkey fascinated rn by the way multiple encounters with The Corruption have been solved by arson #and the seeming connection to the Lightless Flame that if accurate sets up sort of a rivalry between the two entities #paralleling the balance between immunological tolerance and reactivity #and how the difference between bugs infesting buildings and pathogens infesting bodies is #at least in the context of the Corruption #only a matter of scale #the flat is a body #the landlord its immune system #attempting to maintain the boundaries between self and nonself #and the hive an infection which—up until that point—had succeeded in evading the innate immune response #but the landlord is not a complete functioning immune system #all he can do is react against what is foreign #but there is more to any life than a single organism whose cells descend from a common progenitor #and without tolerance there can be no self to defend #or any sort of symbiosis—parasitic commensal or mutualistic #and that’s not even getting into the rivalry the Corruption seems to have with the Eye #to be seen and known and bound and remembered does tend to rob pathogens of their power #and from a purely mental fear standpoint I don’t really see a compelling reason why seeing and learning about a disease would #take away the fear of it #but also I’m only a few episodes into season 2 of TMA so I may be a bit uninformed #rambling in the tags

i love when someone says something exactly one time and i'm like "awesome i am incorporating that into my vocabulary forever"

#my gf described a character (felix flanken from mad monster party) as One Inch Tall and now i've been saying it about everything #len kagamine (all iterations but specifically him in the vivid bad squad sekai) is one inch tall. he is like a single celled organism #and he is my son

[randombubblegum]

awsten's talking shit about his OWN EPs to boost his newer, crapper, music. never thought i'd want a time machine to go back to like 2014 warped tour but man........these are dark days

its so much extra pitiful because he HAS to know his new shit is soulless viral trend-riding trash. but i KNOW he remembers how he felt writing those eps…… the honesty and the unflinching feelings and the delicate, carefully considered wordplay about topics he really cared about. nobody on earth with one single fucking braincell thinks fuck about it has 1/100th of the heart, soul, and earnestness your old songs do LOLLLL

#twitter might be a dif story bc theyre all single celles organisms but hey #mail time! #neg

Has someone already complained about the new store menu because I for sure have some things to say

#how dare you #you have literally taken my house my home #ALL social media have the personal page button on the bottom right corner #ALL OF THEM #it is an intuitive user design #and you have the audacity to put their right where our cringy little internet house used to be your fucking store #the thing not even a single cell organism would want to go to #not even talking about buying your fucking shoelace’s #I do not wanna see ur cringy mercy #I would rather see the colour of the sky everyday than look at your fucking tumblr basecap #how self absorbed can u as a website get #this merch means nothing #imagine wearing a Pinterest logo on ur forehead #I’m so sad #genuinely #I liked my little house in the corner so much #tumblr store #staff #update #profile #XQXQ

What is your favorite algea? Mine is shotgun kelp, Agarum clathratum. It just rolls off the tongue, ya know?

I'm biased toward cyanobacteria (which under the botanical definition is still considered algae despite being bacteria)

Based purely on aesthics, aphanocapsa liIacia (if im remembering the name right). It's always my favorite when I do transfers bc its purple :-]

But hopefully starting in the fall I'll be working fischerella species. So hopefully they become my favorites (again, aesthetically Fischerella is gorgeous)

#i dont really have a true favorite just bc i dont work one on one with any so im usually just transfering or working with communities where #i cant id anything bc its all filamentous cyanos haha #i need to read more abt other algae. i am biased toward the micro algae bc idk microbes r more my thing but in the last year ive come #around to other algae. i really know nothing abt like kelp but id loooooove to learn #i hear the life cycles r wild? idk algae is just so cool on all levels #my favorite thing is imaging the transition from single celled and photosynthetic to multicellular and photosynthetic #its wild. evolution is so so so cool. i love it so much. which is y im so excited abt starting my phd #ive started a doc abt the extremely granular aspects of photosynthesis with respect to pigments and protien structure #and when im not actively suffering i try to add to it bc im a nerd lol. i just want all the little details u kno? #i wanna kno how photosynthesis works across organisms and where processes break down. its so lovely #i dont kno how to express how i feel abt it bc the feeling is too big #glad to kno there r other algae fans out there ^^ #unrelated

i gotta avoid all of the lgbt discourse surrounding that TSA leaker identifying as a bi lesbian because otherwise you freaks are going to drag me back into self loathing LOL i wish people would shut the fuck up abt it

#thoughts #literally i think its dumb to attack her for tjat but i also still think its dumb to identify tjat way personally. Lol #i just think its kind of evil and weird to be posting that youre a terf if you dont like the idea of lesbianism including men #men meaning MEN. not being derogatory about trans women. because thats like the main assumption i leep seeing #which is made in such bad faith im sorry #lgbt discourse #dont send me dumb little asks about this post ill be mean to you #i just cannot stand seeing all these single celled organisms on twitter posting like EXCLUSIONIST!!!!!
