Historical post

this is super sweet, like genuinely

this post gets better and better I love this for you both

Observation #1: The prefix "a-" means "none", such as in "asexual", "apolitical" and "Atheism".

Observation: The word "unicorn" is a combination of "uni", meaning "one", and "cornus", meaning "horn".

Conclusion:

This is an acorn.

Thinking today about how as someone with major texture issues around most fruits and vegetables, it would have helped so much if someone had come to me years ago and said

Hey:

  1. Make it tiny
  2. Mix it with something Good Texture that you like

"Eat healthy!" they say, and then they show you pictures of a smiling woman digging a fork into half a butternut squash or eyeing a bowl of whole blueberries like a ravening wolf and your spine wants to crawl out through your skull at the thought of that Texture in your mouth.

But you know what I can do? Cut zucchini into paper-thin slices and cook it with noodles and marinara. Chop that spinach fine and scramble it with eggs and cheese. If I'm having a day where the thought of a grape popping in my mouth makes me nauseous, I can cut it in half. My chinese takeout gets diced into tiny pieces and mixed into the rice. It doesn't work with everything - seeds are still a Major Problem - but the number of fruits and veg and even world cuisines that I can eat has expanded SO MUCH since I discovered this. YMMV, but it's such a stupidly simple thing to do, and nobody ever told me.

see the thing is that mitski and hozier are exactly that good, its just that so many of their fans are all collectively competing for the most annoying people on earth award. and winning.

i say this all the time but im fucking right like hozier and mitski are actually geniuses and incredibly respectable and admirable artists with beautiful unique voices and evocative lyrics and moving instrumentals that just fucking tear at your heart and head. theyre so fucking talented and always have been, but their fans SUCK. so fucking bad. they suck ass so hard its unreal.

No-fault divorce is actually very recent. That is, a divorce just because you wanted to get divorced and not because they were guilty of some provable transgression. California’s no-fault divorce law was 1966; the latest US state, it was 2010. When I was in Catholic school, we were taught to believe in and promote anti-no-fault-divorce positions. This is very recent history, and you cannot take even this for granted. Stop being “edgy” about feminism and its flaws. Every movement will have some flaws. But do you not think that this, and the risk it represents, is significant to women as a class of all backgrounds?

it’s literally as simple as “if you are against no-fault divorce, you believe that men should be able to own women like property”.

after this passes: “Why are marriage rates plummeting?”

After this passes: “What is with America’s young husbands and why are they dying so young?”

in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience

What actually makes the zombie apocalypse genre boring is that the characters never try any interesting solutions real people would actually brainstorm. It’s always just “we need to find food and guns” never “we need to strip the inside of this building for material to construct a better stronghold up on the roof” or “make something like a huge impenetrable hamster ball out of car parts” or “let’s cover ourselves in so many layers of stuff that it just keeps coming off in the zombie’s hands.” I mean I could think of hundreds of tricks and strategies like that and I think lots of people can? But no all zombie media is written like the only solutions against zombies are the same resources, used the same way, that the world already revolved around and it’s probably because all the interesting solutions would be seen as silly or uncool, unlike the 50,000th iteration of people just hiding in a fort with canned beans and rifles.

Ok y’all brace yourselves cuz I just learned about a new animal

Yes, that is an animal. Yes, scientists refer to it as the purple sock worm. No, that’s not it’s real name, silly, it’s real name is Xenoturbella!

When these deep-sea socks were first discovered, no one knew what the fuck they were looking at (and, really, can you blame them?). They have no eyes, brains, or digestive tracts. They are literally just a bag of wet slop. DNA analysis initially seemed to indicate that they were related to mollusks, until the scientists realized that DNA sample was from the clams they had recently eaten (yes, they can eat with no organs. We don’t know how.)

Scientists then analyzed the data again and tentatively placed them in the group that includes acorn worms, saying that their ancestors probably had eyes, brains, and organs, but simplified as a response to their deep sea ecosystems.

Later DNA testing has since shown that they are their own thing! Xenoturbella, along with another simple and problematic to place creature called acoelomorphs, belong to their own phylum called Xenacelomorpha! This places them as the sister group to all bilateral animals. So, they just never evolved brains, eyes, or organs. They are a glimpse at a very primitive form of animal that never bothered to change, because apparently what they do works. Rock on, purple sock worm.

fun fact about me is that when i was a kid id write capital E’s with as many of those little horizontal lines as possible and id call them ladder E’s and adults fucking hated them

artistic rendition

All capital letters should have a leveled-up form

So far I’ve got

  • ladder letters: A, E, F, H, T
  • humpback B’s and P’s get as many bumps as you think they need
  • circle O’s, you just keep spiraling in til you feel like you’ve made your point
  • tree letters branch into smaller versions of themselves ad nauseum: X, Y
  • spider Q’s, so many legs

Please add your own unsettling godtier capitals!

New alphabet dropped!

oh my god, it’s beautiful

(future handwritten notes are gonna be so wonderfully cursed now, thank you! :D )

well it’s going to take some getting used to, @ceekari (don’t mind the redacted letter between T and U)

But I think i’ve taken a real shine to it!

So i may have done a thing in an insomnia fueled jaunt into insanity.

This is how new alphabets get invented.
