Okay we should really talk about how lucky Ambrosius is because...
He's such a keeper, and Ambrosius still got to "keep him" after everything's that happened...
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
There's a user called Erika Horn (@erikahorn.art) on tiktok who made a "duet me" challenge so technically impressive that all of the duets are exactly like this LMAO

everyone talks about puppy eyes ballister but no one talks about furrowed eyebrows ballister or cocky ballister
hot damn
halsey, realest celebrity of them all
as is tradition, i've updated my: "hozier using terms of endearment on his songs" list.
"baby" remains number one with 9 new additions. he uses "baby" a total of 74 times throughout his entire (released) discography
"darling" was his favourite term this time around with 17 new additions. it went from only 9 to 26 times he used the term in his songs
"love" got 11 new additions. 17 in total
and last but not least he used "honey" one time. so that's 46 times he says "honey" now
Anonymous asked:
Genetic modification has been tossed around for so long, but I do remember one thing in particular that stuck with me: Crispr Cas9. But on another note, how does magic work? Is it just another state of energy? Maybe it's actually physical matter? Or perhaps it's someplace on the electromagnetic spectrum? Or maybe something... more? I've got to know.
On Editing Genes Part 2/2
Fascinating new developments (and ethical problems paired with said developments) every day! The bit about mosquitoes and malaria can be read up about here in this open access article. Hopefully, my explanation wasn't horrifically wrong. If so, mea culpa.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get to an explanation about how magic works soon!

Summary of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. This book has had a profound impact on my life, and I hope it can help you too.
The 7 Habits are:🧵
Habit 1: Be Proactive
- Don't be reactive to circumstances. Take responsibility for your life and the choices you make.
- Focus on the things you can control, and let go of the things you can't.
- Be proactive in your relationships and interactions with others.
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
- Have a clear vision for your life and what you want to achieve.
- Break down your vision into smaller goals and steps.
- Live each day in alignment with your vision.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
- Distinguish between what is urgent and what is important.
- Focus your time and energy on the things that are most important.
- Learn to say no to things that are not a priority.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
- Look for ways to create mutually beneficial outcomes in your relationships and interactions.
- Be willing to compromise and give and take.
- Focus on the interests of others, not just your own.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
- Listen with the intent to understand, not just to reply.
- Put yourself in the other person's shoes.
- Be open to learning from others.
Habit 6: Synergize
- Work together with others to create something greater than what you could achieve alone.
- Appreciate the unique contributions of others.
- Be open to new ideas and perspectives.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
- Take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
- Invest in your personal growth and development.
- Be a lifelong learner.
I hope you found it helpful and inspiring.

Remember, the 7 Habits are not a magic bullet. They take time and effort to implement, but they can be incredibly powerful tools for personal and professional growth.
CRISPR - the changing of all life’s genetic structure to create super classes of humans, to mutate…
Mad scientist thought of the day:
I bet you could gene-edit a chicken to make its eggshells out of mother-of-pearl.
They’re both made almost entirely of calcium carbonate, plus stabilizing organic proteins
Mother-of-pearl gets its iridescence from the specific structure, helped in part by the scaffolding of the specific proteins
I bet you could do it
I bet you could even do different colors and varieties
Pearl eggshells.
Gene Tech is not your enemy
Let me throw one unpopular opinion at you: Gene Tech is actually not a bad. Genetically modified crops and what not are not bad and no, they will probably not give you cancer or anything of the like. In fact, if we want to save the planet and what not, we should totally embrace gene tech and gene editing.
With that I do not mean: "Edit human genes." Which is something that on one hand would be interesting and could have great promise, but on the other hand... would probably make the world so much world and lead to all sorts of eugenics.
No, I am talking first and foremost about editing the genes of some plants and maybe some insects.
See, I live in Germany, where a lot of GMO food is actually outlawed, which I find not good. Now, let me make one thing clear: Nobody should be able to copyright the genum of a crop. So fuck the hell off, Monsanto!
But gene editing can help us overcome many problems.
For once, we just have to face the facts: Climate is changing right now. It is changing and it creates bad harvests in many areas of the earth, because the crops are not adjusted for the new climate. In some areas it suddenly is too wet, in others it is too dry.
Humans have always edited the genes of plants and animals, of course. Just that we did it the very slow way by selective breeding them. Without selective breeding a wolf does not turn into a poodle.
Our ability to directly edit the genum of crops now allows us to quickly adust to the changing climate. Which might save a lot of people, if we allow it.
But apart from that, we can also do other things by gene editing.
We might be able to create plants, that are much better at storing CO2, than they would normally be. We are in fact able to create bacteria and algea, that eat micro plastics. We might in general be able to create bacteria able to dissolve garbage. We might be able to sustain plant species that otherwise might perish due to climate change.
And there might actually be some other things. See, we could maybe extinguish maleria thanks to gene tech. And we might be able to fight invasive species through it.
A lot of people in the conservation movement will be like "No, we should not mess with nature". But the thing is, that we already are messing with it.
Gene tech can help us to actually fix some of the problems we caused.
Again: Fucking Monsanto should not be allowed to copyright crops they created like this. But just because they are using it this way, does not mean, that the technology itself is horrible.
Opposing it just... does not get us anywhere.
she's not pretty but she's done
if anyone has any edits or additions they would like me to make just let me know
