With vanilla extract being a meme, I wanted to share some black history of Edmond Albius a black slave who revolutionized vanilla pollination.
He used a technique he learned of pollinating melons to polinate the orchids to create the vanilla beans. Vanilla was rare and a luxury mainly due to only being able to be pollinated by its natural pollinator in Mexico.
unfortanely, he didnt receive any money for his discovery despite being called the main man who revolutionized pollination, he died in poverty...
everyone say thank you Edmond
Nightmares and Cuddles
With everything that Logan’s been through he has regular night terrors and ptsd dreams, so it’s kind of convenient to have a partner that you don’t have to worry about stabbing in the middle of the night 😬
Also, have some motor boating
(Side note: this was before I knew what sound Wolverines claws made)
never understand ppl afraid to go to doctors with sex toy related issues. being upfront and saying "it's stuck :(" is significantly less weird and embarrassing than trying and failing to set it free and making it worse, and/or making up some obviously bullshit story when you finally have to submit to medical care. like, them having to yank a toy from your ass is way better than having to yank a toy and like 3 additional spoons bc you kept trying to diy your salvation

Buncha heros at the Burger Mart
The bug squad!
Genuinely I was excited to work on these and share them publicly- these are some of my top favorite bug guys out there. (There may be a theme of points and pincers)
I know very few people will ever see them, but I'm still happy to have made them.
wild cats are awesome because they range from “that’s just a cat”
to “are you sure that’s a cat”
For the first time in a while, I’ve signed up to do some peer teaching for 1st years over a revision special event, and one of those sessions is a cardiac exam, so I threw this together to help with remembering the examination and signs of stenosis and regurgitation of the aortic and mitral valves.
I’ve always loved the symmetry of this diagram, and it’s genuinely helped me to easily recall the cardiac cycle stage and manoeuvres needed to identify all of these murmurs.
