DIPPPPPEEEERRRRRR!

Gravity Falls marathon inspired me to do this. I've been thinking about doing a Mabel blog for a while. Heck, I've tried twice before on G+. What do you guys think? It'll be mostly text posts as like diary entries telling about her summer. Every day or so there will be a new adventure and there will be catching the followers up on the adventure.

Oldest medical amputation on record was performed on a Stone Age child in Borneo 31,000 years ago

About 31,000 years ago, a skilled prehistoric surgeon cut off the lower leg of a child hunter-gatherer in Borneo. Now, archaeologists have concluded that this ancient surgery is the earliest medical amputation on record.

The skill of the Stone Age surgeon was admirable; the patient went on to live an additional six to nine years after the surgery, a radiocarbon dating performed by researchers of the individual’s tooth enamel revealed, according to a study published online Wednesday (Sept. 7) in the journal Nature.

“It was a huge surprise that this ancient forager survived a very serious and life-threatening childhood operation, that the wound healed to form a stump and that they then lived for years in mountainous terrain with altered mobility,” study co-author Melandri Vlok, a bioarchaeologist and postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney,“ said in a statement. ”[This suggests] a high degree of community care.“ Read more.

In Children's Lit. class:

Me: *suggests idea*

Them: *brushes it off as verbal shitposting*

Them: *suggests the same thing a few weeks later*

Them: *decides to go with it*

Me: I did that, it was my idea.

Them: ew why is she so caught up on that jeez we've all suggested stuff.

My second grade teacher would scream at us and was generally horrible, but she specifically targeted me for some reason. Every week on Friday, if you didn't get a ticket for bad behavior, you could sit with the rest of the class and get candy and watch a movie. I never got a ticket, not once. Then! Halfway through the year, she swapped it, so if you were good, you'd get a ticket for good behavior, and then I didn't get any tickets at all. I was almost always the only kid left out, almost always. I think I had one week the entire time I was in that class where I got to sit with the others and watch the movie, every other week I was functionally called out in front of the class for being a Bad Kid and kept away from the others. I had ADHD and some form of dyslexia probably, but I was always a people pleaser, there was nothing I would have been doing that warranted this aside from struggling not to talk in class like every other kid. She also scared me so bad that I forgot what ability to read I did have at the time and had to be put in remediation when I changed schools. No one thought to test me for ADHD. She didn't mention behavior issues to my parents much, I think. I did get tested for dyslexia but because I started reading better out of her class, they stopped, so I never actually got any academic support. Last I heard about that teacher, they were considering revoking her license, and I really hope they did because no kid deserves to go through what she did.

Everyone give me the most screwed up thing that has ever happened to you in the american public school system

I LOVE THE YOUNG AVENGERS SO FREAKING MUCH OML I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS I'M MISSING OUT I'M MISSING INFO ON MY BOYS WHAT AM I MISSING I NEED MORE

you know that trope in shows or movies where the evil character is in captivity and starts talking to the Heroes to try and mess with their minds, and starts analysing them going “face it you’ll never be good enough” … “you try to act tough but inside you’re broken” … and the Hero gets really rattled and upset.

well i want a scene like that where it doesn’t work

Villain: “You have a darkness inside of you. You try to hide it, but it’s there–”

Hero: “Yeah that’s the depression, there’s pills for that.”

Villain: “You try every day to make your mother proud. Even after death, it still haunts you. But she’ll never be proud of.”

Hero: “Well yeah, she was an emotionally abusive narcissist, she was never proud of anything I did, what else is new.”

Villain: “You put on a good show, but deep inside I know you don’t feel worthy.”

Hero: “I know, man, I’ve been trying to work on that in therapy.”

Like… give me characters who know they’re mentally ill and traumatised who can’t have it used against them because they’ve fully accepted it

I made Nyo Poland and Nyo Lithuania aesthetics. More to come probably.

Being weird together in museums is a love language
