Trump's desire to get Greenland is a direct attack on indigenous lands and it needs to be framed this way a lot more. Greenlandic Inuit make up about 90% of Greenland's population; they're frequently under attack from Denmark's government and now they're facing the US president threatening war just to tear their lands apart.

Hi there! CPhT in training here!

Leeches are in fact still a modern medical procedure, and you need special certifications to handle and take care of the medical leeches in hospital settings. They’re used post-op for things like major reconstructive surgery, skin grafts for burn victims, and digit reattachment. The sucking stimulates blood flow to the freshly attached tissues, as well as leech saliva having anesthetic properties. Leeches are single-use, and sadly destroyed afterwards as medical waste, but they are kept very healthy prior to use.

So bloodletting has already been brought back. Hope that helps!

amazing news thank you

Leeches are also not difficult to raise yourself, here is one of mine climbing around their tank:

Unfortunately the website leech.com (also leeches.com and other alts) isn't a good business and may poach from the wild. In the USA you want this source:

I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.

Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.

He only took occasional sips of water.

The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.

Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.

Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.

Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

also like, a Black man breaking Strom Thurmond's record is absolutely *chef's kiss*

for those who are too young to know about Strom, he was literally a white supremacist

whenever i find a good world heritage post i do my best to carefully remove unnecessary "why is this so funny!!" or "i cant believe i found the original" reblog comments. sometimes it takes a bit of work digging back through the reblog graph to accomplish this but fine art restoration is tedious but important work

you get it

still being active on tumblr is camp

this post is gonna blow up even more when op deactivates

i'll outlive everything you love

no sentence fills me with utter loathing so much as "i asked chatgpt"

Going through an unplanned pregnancy is a scary experience. Having to get an abortion can be a scary experience if you are young. It’s an experience that you generally want someone who loves and supports you on your side. It’s an experience where many teenagers want their parents help. When instead, they decide to keep it from their parents, my question is not “are they their parents property?” but rather, “why are they choosing not to tell their parents?” Nine times out of ten, it’s because they are genuinely afraid of their parents response. They are scared of being thrown out and becoming homeless, of being sent away to a religious boarding school, of being forced to go through with a pregnancy they do not want, of being abused and in some heartbreaking cases, their parent is the reason they are pregnant in the first place. I want to protect those children in getting the medical procedure they need, not punish them and treat them like they are property.

There's a difference between "disabled" and "legally recognized as disabled," and I just want to give a shout-out to all the other disabled people who don't have formal diagnoses, who don't have access to benefits of any kind, who don't have the ability to use even the shittiest and least-helpful resources, because the process of getting legal recognition for disability sucks ass.

And another shout-out to all the disabled people who purposely avoid getting diagnosed, because official diagnoses can be used against you, and you're unable or unwilling to risk it.

tomboyism is so funny to me. gender non-conformity for girls is acceptable for like two minutes between the ages of 8 and 10. beyond that it’s appalling and you’re a freak but for those two years…… they could’ve had it all

“I don’t learn this in school :(“

Hey here’s a question what steps have you taken to increase your education and knowledge since graduating?

12 years is not nearly enough time to teach you everything to know about the world, especially when the starting point is “a says ah” and “1+1=2” and “rain comes from clouds.”

There are people who spend their whole lives in pursuit of knowledge and do not run out of stuff to learn. If you want to be well-informed and knowledgeable as an adult you have to actually make your continued education a priority. The library is free, thousands on online resources are accessible to all, and somewhere near you is an affordable museum or culture center or zoo or art display that can give you information you didn’t know.
