I do not endorse the messages of any post on this blog. I’m a trying to make them accessible. That is it. 

My name is Tam, and I go by all pronouns (including neos) but he/him and it/its. My main is @tam3lo so likes/replies/asks/follows come from there. If you have the money and want to donate to/tip me my venmo is @/ tamelo. Please feel no obligation to send me money. My donation post is here

I do take requests, though I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to make the description. You can tag me, send me an anon, or dm me the link. I will not describe doxxed information. 

Please let me know if I make a typo or accidentally publish a post before adding the description. I am always grateful. 

Right now the only things I reliably tag are mcyt, dreamwastaken, technoblade, AO3, and mass shootings. Please let me know if you want anything else to be tagged.

Because I know some people care, I am a mcyt stan, and included in that a Dream stan. Check out @to-whoever-wants-to-hear and/or @foolishbuilders if you’re interested. Everything will be appropriately tagged.

If you use image descriptions please, let me know if there’s anything I can change about the way I format my descriptions etc to make them better for you.

I’m happy to boost polls about accessibility or that deal with disabled and/or blind people in general

I reserve the right to make one “not a description” post a day

Resources

TLDR: I do not endorse the messages of any post on this blog. You can always request a description; tell me if I make a typo; ask me to tag something.

unrelatedly people are always like “lmao what was supernatural doing in superwholock” and i’ve said that myself in the past but actually no. what was SHERLOCK doing in superwholock. like i know the answer is queerbait but also like. supernatural and doctor who as sprawling sci fi behemoths lasting longer than is plausible deliberately veering into ridiculousness featuring a Heroes Breeze Into Town monster of the week format and universe-level stakes and a WHOLE lot of speculative “what if what if what if” . sandbox shows cultural curiosities. sherlock is NOTHING she’s DUST. britishness does not a similarity make

words that immediately knock me out cold

I don't think anyone appreciates how funny Pope Franics actually is. Imagine being elected to the head of an over the top bad guy organization that would make you the final boss of a jrpg, and you spend your entire time there sitting around and saying things like "maybe we should reconsider our 'people dying is good' policy. I'm not saying we should reverse the 'people dying is good' policy, it's been our policy for thousands of years after all, but maybe we should, oh I don't know. Reconsider it." And every time you do so it causes half of a major world religion to get so pissed off that it almost causes a religious schism

In light of his recent decision, I'd like to let all the tradcaths know this: your entire religion is based around the idea that this guy is god's main man on earth. If you disagree with the pope, that makes you a protestant lol

While November is National Diabetes Awareness Month in the US, November 14 is World Diabetes Day because it’s Frederick Banting’s birthday. He is credited as the co-discoverer of insulin and was the leading force behind the team working on it.

In type 2 diabetes, your body can produce insulin but it has trouble using it.

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys the cells that produce insulin. Onset is mostly during childhood Insulin is essential to turning food into energy, and type 1 diabetes is 100% fatal without insulin treatment.

At the time of insulin’s discovery, the leading treatment was to essentially slowly starve to death. Insulin changed everything. Parents no longer had to watch their children painfully die. My parents didn’t have to watch me die before I reached double digits.

Frederick Banting and his team sold the patent for insulin to the university of Toronto for $1 each so it could be more widely produced and distributed. He famously said “insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world”

Y’all, I just got an email alert about a new chapter on a story I follow. Here’s the author’s note for that chapter. 😂

This is the most validating post.

Author's note: Sorry about the 13 1/2 years delay in updating this story. I know that Razor flip-phone and MySpace were all the rage the late time I updated. But 13 years is a blink of the eye when you consider all of human existence. /End ID]
