okay so fun story

The weather here is bad and getting worse, so I might not be around a little while. There have been developments regarding asthma medication (namely that there very soon will be none) and we're working on a game plan. I haven't been as active as I could be, so there's not going to be a huge lapse in activity I guess, but yeah. Just a heads up for my lovies!

Be safe out there guys, it's nasty as heck here so it's probably even worse everywhere else.

#nam in the real world what?

My uterus is currently acting against the rest of me, so while you are free as always to engage me in conversation, please understand that it is very likely that I will either not respond at this point or snap and turn into a raging monster of hormones and cramping fury. Most likely the former though, because holy heck I took a lot of painkillers and I am gonna pass out.

#nam in the real world what?#i promise that i took the recommended dosage so please do not worry about that#this is just a little more punchy to my head than usual i usually take very low strength stuff because meds mae me so loopy#i can literally feel my bones crunching inside me

Hey guys! 

Here’s my short student film I finished a couple months ago. It’s called EL TERROR.

"In Sonoran desert, the greatest criminal of the Wild-West suffers the wrath of a four years old child after stealing her ice cream cone."

My main goal was to incorporate in this film everything I wanted to see as a kid on the Saturday morning cartoons. By this I mean a badass girl with super powers, a dumb cowboy, sick explosions and fabulous ice cream! 

So If you liked it please share it to your friends! You would be the greatest breathing humans.

#ooooo fancy!#very funny#i started to play it without telling my roommates and one of them spun around and was like THAT SOUNDS LIKE COWBOYS#just from the music

degari replied to your post:I’ve put on feminine clothing for Christmas Day...

I have the same problem. wearing tights seem to help with that ‘EVERYONE CAN SEE MY LEGS’ feeling. I’m sure you look great though

I AM IN FACT WEARING TIGHTS/LEGGINGS BENEATH THE SKIRT! I don't know I think the problem is I tend toward guy pants and so no one can see the shape of my legs and then I wear a skirt and everyone's first comments are 'WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?' and 'OH MY GOD YOU HAVE LEGS.' I am afraid of this power....

#degari#nam replies#that was weird how did you know#i'm fairly certain i at least look passable i spent like two hours taming my hair so hopefully there was an allowable result

I'm really enjoying getting to see Bechnokid's Yukiki around again. I keep seeing him look all devilishly handsome and devious and it's absolutely wonderful. But I remember the old days full of fluff and how Yukiki blushes if Hanana so much as smiles at him right. So I see him and am intimidated for only a moment before I think 'haha, snowman, I've got your number I know your weakness you giant. well-dressed nerd.'

A lot of people have been mislead by a post that talks about the “lumpy” Earth, and unfortunately it seems that people genuinely believe the Earth is this shape. As one person pointed out, we have images of the Earth from space, and while it would be disingenuous to refer to it as a perfect sphere, it very much is spherical. A rudimentary reverse Google image search tells me that the image in the misleading post is a simulation of the Earth without water… which is just plain wrong.

In fact, the shape you’re seeing is a geoid, which is a simulation of what Earth would look like if you neglected the influence of anything other than rotation and gravity. A geoid is a dynamic equipotential surface, which means that every point on the surface has the same gravitational potential.

Since it was recently NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day, this seems like a good opportunity to talk about a geoid that is something more than a context-less gif: the Potsdam Gravity Potato, pictured above. It’s the result of efforts by a group at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam to create a highly detailed map of the Earth’s gravitational field. Like in a heat map, red elevated levels indicate stronger gravitational effects, and depressed blue levels indicate that they’re lower. The potato-like shape occurs due to the Earth’s uneven gravitational field. This is why high places such as the Himalayas coincide with local maxima on the geoid—but of course not all maxima and minima are the result of noticeable physical features; the Earth has inhomogeneous variations in its density, which account for much of the gravitational difference.
