to anyone who wants to watch the mitchells vs. the machines & is prone to flashing lights: PLEASE be careful. this movie is incredibly good but it does have a lot of segments that involve strobing lights and bright colors that may be hard to watch if you’re photosensitive. if you’re going to watch it and you struggle w those issues look out for any fight scenes/scenes involving the robots because those are where they tend to pop up the most. again this movie is REALLY good but if you’re going to watch it, be aware that it involves a lot of flashing lights and be on the watch for those scenes in particular

trans men are allowed to like their cleavage. trans women are allowed to like their bulge. no one has the right to tell someone they have to hate a part of their body to be trans

Some sketches I drew after reading this fic by @jevonne :)

should i post the walmart comic

or should i simply wait

So @cary-atherton-art once again gave me brainworms for a crossover, this time its The Phantom of the Archives and I, as a former theatre kid, could not let it go.

sometimes its just you and the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home against the world

god now i’m comforted by the potential presence of the faceless old woman who secretly lives in my home

it’s truly iconic that wtnv introduces the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home and it’s super creepy but then a few episodes later you’re like “I think she should be the mayor”

BOOKS I READ IN 2020: The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor

Like any reasonable human, I do not like harming innocent people, but like any reasonable human, I do not consider the wealthy to be innocent people.

Love local coffee shops. your “refugees are welcome here” sign goes really well with the one that says “bathrooms are for paying customers only”

Bladeless wind turbines generate electricity by shaking, not spinning

Scientists hope to hugely reduce the cost of wind energy by removing the blades from wind farms, instead taking advantage of a special phenomenon to cause the turbines to violently shake.

Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless — white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake.

They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at.

As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator.

“For 60 years, doctors and researchers have known two things that could have improved, or even saved, millions of lives. The first is that diets do not work. … The second big lesson the medical establishment has learned and rejected over and over again is that weight and health are not perfect synonyms.“

“Studies have found that anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of people classified as obese are metabolically healthy. … Meanwhile, about a quarter of non-overweight people are what epidemiologists call “the lean unhealthy.” … Habits, no matter your size, are what really matter.“

“Doctors are supposed to be trusted authorities, a patient’s primary gateway to healing. But for fat people, they are a source of unique and persistent trauma.“

“According to several studies, thin doctors are more confident in their recommendations, expect their patients to lose more weight and are more likely to think dieting is easy.”

“Then there are the glaring cultural differences. … wealthy, skinny doctors will often try to bond with their low-income patients by telling them, “I know what it’s like not to have time to cook.” Their patients, who might be single mothers with three kids and two jobs, immediately think “No, you don’t,”“

““She didn’t even ask me what I was already doing for exercise,” he says. “At the time, I was training for serious winter mountaineering trips, hiking every weekend and going to the gym four times a week. Instead of a conversation, I got a sound bite. It felt like shaming me was the entire purpose.”“
