Rose: Hey I know he fucked us both up but...is it just me or is our dad also a huge loser?
Joey: [signing] What?
Rose: He's divorced. His kids hate him. He has one friend who also hates him. Women his own age avoid him like the plague. And he's an elite operative with super powers who still gets his ass kicked on the regular by high school sophomores.
Joey: ...
Joey: Oh my god.
And then they laugh for forty-five minutes.
so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
reblog if i can wander into your apartment (blog) and make myself lunch (like and reblog as if it's my dash)
early homo sapiens b like help i cant stop making bowls . help i cant stop domesticating plants and animals. help i cant stop developing language and architecture and religion
ok im obsessed w this tag
once in grade 6 I saw a 'pottery making club' in a ditch on the schoolyard- I assume at some point someone realized there was actually good quality clay in the ditch and when I walked up there were about a dozen 12 year olds sitting around the few girls who had brought their water bottles out to mix the clay, and a designated spot to put the finished bowls and tablets, and people going off and collecting sticks to make designs with and i really think that's the natural state of the human race
In elementary school I learned that you can make paint out of certain sedimentary rocks on the playground if you crushed them and mixed with water and at one point I had up to 25 kindergarten through third graders making cave paintings on the underside of the slides
The nature of man is such that every so often, someone recreates the neolithic era.
Yeah, every recess
thebewingedjewelcat asked:
Hi how are you doing?
How would copperhead and cotton mouth venom compare to stiletto snake venom?
Decided to do the scene differently and having more people and snakes involved.

Hello hello! Glad to hear from you - your writing asks are always so fun to answer!
So, when we look at stiletto snake venom, the effects are actually really similar to Agkistrodon (that’s the genus of copperheads/cottonmouths) venom. We see a lot of pain, swelling, and local tissue destruction, but Agkistrodon venom is actually a little bit more potent in how it tends to act on people specifically and can cause more severe tissue damage. You’ll see a lot of similar symptoms but they’ll be more concentrated.
With Agkistrodon bites, you can expect huge areas of bruising around the bite and a lot of swelling and pain. The thing about their venoms is - think about what effects you want your characters to suffer, and decide the location of the venom injection based on that. If it’s on a finger, it would not be a wild leap for that finger to need to be amputated due to severe tissue damage (especially for cottonmouth bites). If the venom is injected into an area like even an upper arm or thigh, the tissue damage won’t be as concentrated and severe. I would believe anything from severe pain, swelling, and bruising (maybe even some open ulcers) for a few weeks to a finger amputation.
For this series on snake myths, I'll be going through the results of this poll in order (and please feel free to suggest other topics!).
The myth: there are a lot of mistaken notions out there about how quickly venomous snake bites can become lethal to humans. One of the most common myths is the "two-step snake," a snake with venom so potent it kills its victim within two steps. Some other myths insist snake bites will kill within ten minutes.
The origins: these myths are often influenced by media - we've all seen movies where snake bites or snake venom are used as analogs to fast-acting poisons. Some, too, arise from simple rumors.
The famous "two-step snake" is the many-banded krait, and the myth arose from rumors spread by USAMerican soldiers during the Vietnamese war. The rumors rose out of a general atmosphere of deep fear of the environment around them. Many-banded krait bites are rarely fatal in under 48 hours, plenty of time to get medical care.
The reality: with the vast, vast majority of snake bites, even untreated bites are rarely fatal in under a few days. Elapid bites tend to be more quickly severe than viper bites, but even they rarely become emergencies in under around seven hours.
The snake that can kill a human the quickest, by far, is the king cobra. King cobra bites can become emergencies in under 10 minutes and can become lethal in about 30 minutes. Other fast-acting elapid venoms, including those of the black mamba and inland taipan, can be lethal in under an hour. For all these snakes, though, in all but very severe envenomations, you will typically have at least a few hours to get medical care.
Snake venom is almost never fast-acting, and it's typical to have days to get help. It won't be a pleasant experience, but there is no snake bite that will kill you within just a few minutes.
Reblogging again because I got an anon last week whining cause they did this to one of my unfinished series and the bot killed Y/N so now they want ME to give them a happy ending. Like. No. Suffer, bitch.
AI is the death of creativity. Anyone who does this to my stories and is stupid enough to brag about it will be blocked from ever reading my work again, AND I'll let everyone on tumblr know that you do this. We'll see how much fic you get to enjoy when every author blocks you forever.
Fic is a gift. I've said it before. Don't shit all over your lovingly handcrafted gifts, m'kay? This should be fucking obvious, but apparently for some of you it's not.
THIS GOES FOR AI ART AS WELL.
Might as well use your phone’s fucking autocomplete.
You didn’t ’finish the story’, you randomly generated bullshit because you have no imagination.
I literally cannot understand a perspective that believes using AI is ‘finishing the story’. As if the story isn’t literally what an author is creating for you intentionally. It’s worse than drawing part of a picture then giving it to a kid to finish with crayons, because at least the kid has intent and imagination.
If you don’t think a story requires a person to tell it, you don’t know what a story is. (And don’t deserve them, despite desperately needing them intellectually.)
Reblogging again to say I genuinely don’t understand how this is more satisfying to people than just... imagining an ending in their own head?
Are people so used to tailored content that they can’t imagine shit anymore?
So I went to read the Kids Online Safety Act, thinking that it couldn't possibly be as bad as what people are making it out to be, I mean I'm a lawyer and expert in statutory interpretation, it can't be that bad, right?
Oh no. KOSA IS that bad. It will literally eradicate queer people online.
The bill says that a "covered platform" - broadly defined as "anything on the internet a minor might use" which is literally the entire fucking internet- has a "duty" to protect minors from anything that might harm them, including "sexual exploitation" and other undefined terms
It also gives state attorneys general the ability to sue to enforce it.
So here's exactly what's gonna happen:
Wacko republicans, as they've been doing with increasing force this year and last, are going to sue any and every website in existence, saying that the mere existence of LGBT people online constitutes sexual abuse of minors. And websites are gonna be so afraid of not doing the most that they'll just axe all LGBT everything.
Like. Republicans have been calling all LGBT people groomers and child molesters for years. The lead Republican literally admitted this bill will be used to attack trans people.
This bill is BAD bad. I'm appalled that democrats are lining up behind what is clearly a republican Trojan horse to eradicate LGBT people from the entire internet.
