NaNoWriMo, Day 13

I've fallen behind on updating the blog. I have not fallen behind on updating my words. I feel like I've struck some kind of Faustian bargain, where the words happen regardless of what happens to my brain.

Today, at work, I had a small anxiety attack. It happens. Afterwards, I sat down and slapped together another thousand words. How did I do this? Are the words any good? How am I still writing anything, when doing so is clearly stressing me out?

Somehow, I managed to hit word count exactly, today. I need to do one more push. I just... I need to know I am far enough ahead of par that I can afford a day off. Maybe that's the answer to two out of three of my questions.

Animal of the Day!

Bale Mountains Tree Frog (Balebreviceps hillmani)

(Photo from AmphibiaWeb)

Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Ethiopia

Size (Weight/Length)- 50 mm

Diet- Small insects

Cool Facts- There’s just something about frogs with tiny legs that makes me laugh. The Bale Mountains tree frog is native to only a tiny stretch of mountains and plateaus in Ethiopia. Preferring areas of thick woodland and plentiful leaf litter, these frogs stay moist under leaves, moss, and logs. The Bale Mountains tree frog is completely terrestrial and never goes through a tadpole state. Instead, they go directly from egg to tiny frog. Despite their range being completely encompassed by Bale Mountains National Park, these frogs continue to decline in population. Threatened by a mixture of deforestation, Chytrid fungus, and agricultural development, the Bale Mountains tree frog remains one of the most endangered amphibians in the world.

Rating- 12/10 (What a funky frog.)

started researching a lot of christianity lore and theology just for funsies because its interesting in an agnostic way, and i told my friend everything that happens in revelations and let me tell you that shit is so wild to anyone who has not grown up with christianity

#txt #tw religion #tw christianity #fyi if you're interested about the christian prediction of the apocalypse revelations is not that long of a read actually #if you find an easy to read version (i read the new international version)#in the physical bible i read it in it was about 13 pages u gotta account in the small font size but still #but if you're freaked out by crazy apocalypse end of days shit do NOT #anyways theres two separate occasions where god removes the islands and the mountains from the earth and its like. did he put them back and #then take them away again or what #like he said fuck hawaii i guess

Shiprock and a Look Across the New Mexico High Desert by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the northwest while taking in views across the northern New Mexico high desert with a distant view to the Shiprock formation. This is at a roadside pullout along Indian Service Rte 13. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to include more of the surrounding landscape to add to the setting in the image captured.

i firmly believe that the reason why i have no reaction to any amount of caffeine today is because when i was 12 my brother gave me some of his monster energy drink at idk 8pm and it got me so wired that i was sobbing to my mom that i couldn't sleep once my very strict and personally-upheld bedtime of 9pm came and went and i've been numb to the effects of caffeine ever since.

#those few sips of monster changed my bodily chemistry i'm sure #idk how that shit didn't kill my brother he would down like five of those big cans a day between the ages of 13 and 18.#that and mountain dew.#🛹

okay so maybe it was just me being ahead of the curve or whatever but like. did anyone else have their ultimate misery / severe depression era during middle school instead of high school?

#mine #mental illness #it is FOUR AM i should NOT BE thinking about this but oh my god #i read something and i just realized that it wasnt just depression i had a full-fucking-blown psychological BREAK when i was 11 #and i need to be up in four hours but now im too pissed to sleep like oh my god i had a FULL PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAK and #STILL none of the adults in my life even noticed i was SAD?? FUCKING HELLO??????#anyway rant in the tags but also im genuinely asking did this hit anyone else in middle school/ages 11-13 instead of high school #bc all the stuff i see is about how miserable and mentally ill kids in high school are and im absolutely not discounting that #but like. high school was SO MUCH BETTER for me it was fucking PARADISE compared to how deeply fucking hurting i was #throughout all of middle school. like i would relive all my high school years ten times over before i even ONCE had to feel how i felt #from the ages of 11 - 13. high school was FUN for me and i was still very mentally ill going into 9th grade!!#like. okay you know the adhd principle of executive dysfunction where the idea is that DOING the task is easier than STARTING the task #and the analogy that goes like. imagine you had to struggle for hours climbing up the gravel mountain to get to the construction site #so when you finally get there youre like oh thank fuck time to lay some bricks i could do this all DAY #and the guy who drove up the mountain to the work site is all angry and is like man stop bragging about how EASY laying bricks is for you #man its hard work!!!!! and youre like. not as hard as climbing up the damn gravel mountain dude #and whenever i hear people talking about how high school is the worst. i think of that.#yeah man high school is hard. not as hard as suffering through the crushing misery of being 11 though.

i need to pick up backpacking as a hobby <- is watching adventurearchives on youtube again

#NO BC HIKING IS MY FAVE THING #and i love remote places!! mountains!! forests!!#and so many of these places cant be reached in one day. so i must backpack #this would be a very expensive hobby for me just to get the gear i need to not die.....#like yes theres cheap stuff out there but like. i am so small and weak that the only way i can carry all my own stuff #is if i go in with the fancy ultralight expensive stuff #because i just physically couldnt carry the rest #i did go backpacking last december and enough time has passed that i can now say i had fun #but my bag was wayyy too heavy for me and not suited to my body shape (straps didnt fit me right and put undue stress on me and bruised me)#and that was when i was only carrying half my stuff...my dad carried the other major things #so. expensive hobby!#anyway i get a $125 REI giftcard yearly as a health insurance perk so. one year at a time babey #according to percentages my pack would have to weight between 13-18lbs so as to not overload me.#and ultralight backpacker is less than 10lbs base weight #therefore the remaining 3-8lbs for me would be water and food #otherwise i would NOT be able to carry it

For a world made for the most part out of water, it’s ridiculously easy to get somewhere fast in the world of one piece

#y'all can't just tell me loguetown reverse mountain and whisky peak happened in one day #and it takes them 20 days to go from there to little garden to drum to alabasta #which is taking the amount of time they spend on the island into the equation #so if we substract those days we get roughly #one week less #so they travel all that distance in 13 days #WHAT #cap talks #one piece #op

The GOP wonders why young people (and others) don't want to vote for them. Some wise scribe assembled this list.

1.) Your Reagan-era “trickle-down economics” strategy of tax breaks for billionaires that you continue to employ to this day has widened the gap between rich and poor so much that most of them will never be able to own a home, much less earn a living wage.

2.) You refuse to increase the federal minimum wage, which is still $7.25 an hour (since 2009). Even if it had just kept up with inflation, it would be $27 now. You’re forcing people of all ages but especially young people to work multiple jobs just to afford basic necessities.

3.) You fundamentally oppose and want to kill democracy; have done everything in your power to restrict access to the ballot box, particularly in areas with demographics that tend to vote Democratic (like young people and POC). You staged a fucking coup the last time you lost.

4.) You have abused your disproportionate senate control over the last three decades to pack the courts with religious extremists and idealogues, including SCOTUS—which has rolled back rights for women in ways that do nothing but kill more women and children and expand poverty.

5.) You refuse to enact common sense gun control laws to curb mass shootings like universal background checks and banning assault weapons; subjecting their entire generation to school shootings and drills that are traumatizing in and of themselves. You are owned by the NRA.

6.) You are unequivocally against combatting climate change to the extent that it’s as if you’ve made it your personal mission to ensure they inherit a planet that is beyond the point of no return in terms of remaining habitable for the human race beyond the next few generations.

7.) You oppose all programs that provide assistance to those who need it most. Your governors refused to expand Medicaid even during A PANDEMIC. You are against free school lunches, despite it being the only meal that millions of children can count on to actually receive each day

8.) You are banning books, defunding libraries, barring subject matter, and whitewashing history even more in a fascistic attempt to keep them ignorant of the systemic racism that this nation was literally founded upon and continues to this day in every action your party takes.

9.) You oppose universal healthcare and are still trying to repeal the ACA and rip healthcare from tens of millions of Americans and replace it with nothing. You are against lowering the cost of insulin and prescription drugs that millions need simply to LIVE/FUNCTION in society.

10.) You embrace white nationalists, Neo-Nazis, and other groups that are defined by their intractable racism, xenophobia, bigotry, and intolerance. You conspired with these groups on January 6th to try to overthrow the U.S. government via domestic terrorism that KILLED PEOPLE.

11.) You oppose every bill aimed at making life better for our nation’s youth; from education to extracurricular and financial/nutritional assistance programs. You say you want to “protect the children” while you elect/nominate pedophiles and attack trans youth and drag queens.

12.) You pretend to be offended by “anti-semitism” while literally supporting, electing, and speaking at events organized by Nazis. You pretend to hate “cancel culture” despite the fact that you invented it and it’s basically all you do.

13.) Every word you utter is a lie. You are the party of treason, hypocrisy, crime, and authoritarianism. You want to entrench rule by your aging minority because you know that you have nothing to offer young voters and they will never support you for all these reasons and more.

14.) You’re so hostile to even the notion of helping us overcome the mountain of debt that millions of us are forced to take on just to pay for our post K-12 education that you are suing to try to prevent a small fraction of us from getting even $10,000 in loan forgiveness.

15.) You opened the floodgates of money into politics via Citizens United; allowing our entire system of government to become a cesspool of corruption, crime, and greed. You are supposed to represent the American people whose taxes pay your salary but instead cater to rich donors.

16.) You respond to elected representatives standing in solidarity with their constituents to protest the ONGOING SLAUGHTER of children in schools via shootings by EXPELLING THEM FROM OFFICE & respond to your lack of popularity among young people by trying to raise the voting age.

17.) You impeach Democratic presidents over lying about a BJ but refuse to impeach (then vote twice to acquit) a guy whose entire “administration” was an international crime syndicate being run out of the WH who incited an insurrection to have you killed.

18.) You steal Supreme Court seats from democrats to prevent the only black POTUS we’ve ever had from appointing one and invent fake precedents that you later ignore all to take fundamental rights from Americans; and even your “legitimate” appointments consist of people like THIS (sub-thread refuting CJ Roberts criticisms of people attacking SCOTUS' legitimacy).

19.) You support mass incarceration even for innocuous offenses or execution by cop for POC while doing nothing but protect rich white criminals who engage in such things as tax fraud, money laundering, sex trafficking, rape/sexual assault, falsifying business records, etc.

20.) You are the reason we can’t pass:—Universal background checks—An assault weapons ban—The ‘For the People/Freedom to vote’ Act or John Lewis Voting Rights Act—The ERA & Equality Act—The Climate Action Now Act—The (Stopping) Violence Against Women Act—SCOTUS expansion.

21.) You do not seek office to govern, represent, or serve the American people. You seek power solely for its own sake so you can impose your narrow-minded puritanical will on others at the expense of their most fundamental rights and freedoms like voting and bodily autonomy.

22.) Ok, last one. You are trying to eliminate social security and Medicare that tens of millions of our parents rely on and paid into their entire lives. And you did everything to maximize preventable deaths from COVID leaving millions of us in mourning.

We’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in a big way, with one of the largest known deer: the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus)! It was originally discovered in bog deposits in Ireland. This megafauna could weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) and its antlers could reach an incredible 13-ft- (4-m-) spread. Once ranging from western Europe to China, this animal died out some 10,000 years ago. However, at least one population, living in Russia’s Ural Mountains, managed to survive until about 7,770 years ago, long after the end of the Pleistocene.

See the Irish Elk up close in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals! We’re open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.
