Get excited, fronds, because it’s the most tentacular time of the year—Cephalopod Week starts tomorrow! During the next eight days we’ll be diving deep to answer the question “what is a cephalopod?” So tune in each day to learn why we’re suckers for cephs.

🚨Help us survive!!🚨

My roommate and I are homeless, we have exhausted all resources, and we are desperately trying to survive. With pride month ending and disability pride month coming up, please consider helping us, two trans disabled ppl. We are recovering from severe long term mold exposure and we both may need more medical care to get the remaining health issues from that sorted.

I also need to raise money for an oral surgery as I desperately need 3 teeth removed. It's life or death, and I need to consistently get medical care until I get the surgery because with how immunoconpromised I am, they want me on antibiotics and closely monitoring things.

We managed to escape the hotel that had a huge mold problem, however weweren't able to bring everything with us in the first trip to where we'restaying now. Everything we couldn't take with us was then stolen from us by thehotel and we were charged $350 for it. This is what a large amount of the donations we received recently went towards. Everything we couldn't take with us was then stolen from us by the hotel and we were charged $350 for it. This and food is what a large amount of the donations we received recently went towards.

We need food and to replace some of the essentials we lost during the move. Most importantly an air purifier, fans, allergy meds and headphones (for accessibility). Also my roomates sketchbook bc it was stolen as well and he needs it to do pet drawings. Food costs for us have risen as my roomate has been confirmed to have a gluten allergy, and we are still trying to adjust to that. (Its not just cutting out bread holy fuck its so much gluten in everything) and this is on top of our existing allergies tree nuts, soy, dairy for him, soy and dairy for me.

We greatly appreciate everything everyone has done for us so far.

All donations have gone towards our survival.

Thank you so much and specifically thank you to @lesbiangelbaby for writing most of this for me while im going through a terrible time with my mental health.

I am setting a goal for all of this, and will update with anything we get in the notes for transparency.

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.

on the last day of pride month, i wish a good day to everyone! as a trangender gay man i feel so happy to live today and have met the community, in which i've found tons of amazing friends, and very good vibes. we care for each other, and should always do so ❤

i'm experiencing a phenomenon that is seeing pictures of cats that look exactly like my cat on a daily basis, and i am pretty sure its because the algorithm everywhere just shows me the pictures of cats that look like my cat according to the pics ive uploaded of her but its still so crazy

On one hand, I am loathe to spend money on something as fleeting and useless as a tumblr post. On the other hand, I want to make everyone look at this picture of my cat:

[i go to instagram] *tumblr and twitter screenshots*

[i come in here] *twitter screenshots*

i love how they all collectively ignore instagram's existence. as they should

pearls are RIDICULOUS because you think you know what a pearl looks like, you can envision it in your head, it's just a simple little white dot, but then all of THESE exist also

...such a versatile calcified bodily fluid

Remember that post from a while ago about how some turtles breathe through their butts? Anyways, found an article on wikipedia covering related phenomena with this horrifying tid-bit:

Mice were subjected to hypoxic conditions and supplied oxygen through their intestines survived an average of 18 minutes compared to 11 minutes in the control group. When the intestinal lining was abraded before oxygen was introduced, most of the animals survived for at least 50 minutes. Investigations are planned regarding the effectiveness of the strategy, the safety of this application of perfluorocarbons, and the feasibility of application to humans.

Who exactly is planning these investigations? Can they stop please?

How to Curse a Geologist

- May all your volcanoes remain dormant, unchanging and utterly boring.

- May every interesting rock and mineral elude you.

- May your field work yield nothing but unlayered mud and sunburns.

- May all your seismographic sensors mysteriously break in the middle of winter

- May your rock hammer fall in a crevice in the rock never to be retrieved again

- May your geophysical computer models yield nothing but unintelligible chaos

- May all your maps and research notes be eaten by mountain goats

ok. learning tumblr part 1

tags. are. so. awesome. i am giggling smiling like a girl because there is a geology tag. GEOLOGY!!!!! MY FAVORITE SUBJECT! and there's an entire space where people talk about that. i am a very happy man today

is it just me or is NASA weirdly aggressive in their article about black holes?

can a black hole destroy the earth?

no, you idiot.

black holes aren’t planet gluttons, you bitch.

and the earth isn’t some weak-ass planet that would just fall in to a black hole like a sucker.

and that dumbass sun that we’ve got isn’t big enough to make a black hole like other stars.

you fool.

.......NASA has a tumblr? oh boy

What Are The Hottest Stars In The Universe?

"The highest stellar temperatures, however, are achieved by Wolf-Rayet stars. Destined for cataclysmic supernovae, Wolf-Rayet stars are fusing the heaviest elements. They’re highly evolved, luminous, and surrounded by ejecta. The hottest one measures ~210,000 K; the hottest known star."

If you took as much mass as you could to build the most massive star you could, you'd cap out at about 50,000 K. If you let the core contract and heat up, the outer layers get blown out to greater distances, causing the overall temperature to drop. But somehow, there are three ways to beat that temperature limit, and there are three classes of stars that do it.

So who gets the hottest, and why? Is it white dwarfs, Wolf-Rayet stars, or neutron stars? Come find out the answer today!
