i'm a fan of archaeology and a whole bunch of music, and i try to tag those accordingly i promise im so consistent with tagging

mythbank -> blindpapers -- accept no substitutes!

#my art <- my art

#/=/ + #stable ground <- fantasy drama story

#basin at the end <- sci-fi western story

#gooniverse <- post apocalyptic slime people

#gully.txt + #gully.png <- rambling

God there’s so much about Magni I haven’t shared or posted…. I gotta lock the fuck in

Cause I can’t sleep here’s one of her exes, a Apex woman who wanted to marry Magni very early into their relationship, which freaked Magni out. (This drawing and the one next to it are from last year)

Turns out Magni doesn’t want to date a facist supporter, huh that’s weird 🐦

the world is running out of glassblowers and yet you want to become a fucking doctor

One of the most jarring moments of my university education was in a physics class when I was given a device that measures gravity and was told “this cost the university sixteen thousand dollars, but the only glass blower in the world who could make the glass springs inside it died so it’s literally irreplaceable. If you drop it those springs will shatter. Go fuck around with it for a day and take some measurements”

In the UK there's a thing called the endangered crafts list which I highly recommend if you fancy discovering some crafts you never even knew existed. Scientific and optical instrument making is considered 'critically endangered' and glassworking (scientific glassware) is just considered endangered, which is for 'crafts with a shrinking market share, an ageing demographic or crafts with a declining number of practitioners.' There's some other crafts in that category which are easier to teach yourself or go to classes on that list, like lithography, marbling or block printing on fabric, so it might be worth considering those if you're looking for something to try.

Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.

Or at least some of y’all’s GPAs.

You’re welcome.

sometimes me and milo have a conversation and then go tbh. blappel would have said that

Hey Science side of tumblr folks, if you were working on an NIH grant that was canceled, ProPublica is looking to hear from you to amplify your story and put it in the perspective of the ongoing assault on our commitment to care for each other.

Multiple relatives of mine donated their bodies to science. That donation was in each case an awe inspiring act of kindness and love, an effort to help create a world in which the thing that was at the time actively killing them would not do so to others if they could help it.

Huge swaths of disease research is based on similarly beautiful commitments to humanity, and the NIH represents our societal commitment to make those sacrifices matter.

So I am taking these bastards pulverizing it extremely personally and am incandescent about it. I am personally committed to making everyone involved in this suffer as much as I personally can. Which is to say I would appreciate if you took the time to help ProPublica shine a light on this atrocity if you have a story to tell them.

ProPublica is reputable af and extremely hardcore in their investigations. They've also got a pretty good track record of embarrassing politicians enough to get good shit done.

I support them financially because we NEED them, and I encourage anyone who fits the profile to get in touch with them.

was playing 20 questions on the 8 hour drive to visit my grandparents & after like 10 minutes of utterly fruitless questioning my brother suddenly asks me with such exasperation & contempt "is it some sort of petrified remains"
