You're watching a sand bubbler crab hard at work. And bubbler crabs have one job: make balls. Lots of balls. With your mouth parts. They're filter-feeders/detrivores, combing through damp sand for microscopic food & the balls let them organize the "cleaned" sand so they don't nom it twice.

I always wondered why the face of that knight in the Canterbury Tales became dark after he was crushed by his horse Turns out that's a sign of traumatic asphyxia (i.e. crushed lungs)
"You'll lose more rights if GOP wins" we'll lose the election anyways if you surrender to their talking points and validate their made up problems.

I dunno guys I think giving vulnerable people more tools to escape into fantasy worlds might be a problem.
![tpwrtrmnky on tumblr: "Guy who has a non-research degree in a field that never studies human subjects: Here are my opinions on what needs to be done for me to respect this field I've decided to become a denier of.
• [Extreme breach of scientific ethics]
• [Violent abuse of power]
• [Method that actually doesn't obtain any information]
• [Controlled double-blind studies of phenomena where that is literally impossible]
• [Seeking empirical proof that a word has the meaning that it's defined as]
• [Study that would have a dropoff rate of 100%]
Additionally, how do we know that [best currently available theory] is true, and not [dominant theory from 100 years ago that repeatedly failed in the face of evidence]? I have found some minor methodological flaws in [studies that were not designed to prove the best available theory, but rather examine edge cases within that theory], so we should really consider [nonsense with no evidence backing it whatsoever]."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4djfp3b27soxcfkxhirydi6d/bafkreibkldwcqx3wsmfgqrixd7wklxpesfaejzc36r7aqv7pv26v7m5xvy)

When only the GOP is asserting that trans people are a threat to women and must be socially controlled in addition to denied medical care and valid ID, the issue is partisan and divisive. When Dems agree trans ppl are dangerous & must be legislated against, the question is "how far will we go."
good morning to humanists trying to expand knowledge and access to knowledge. may your coffee be warm and your pen swift.
I neglected my 100,000 children this week I am a terrible binmother We'll discuss their feelings when I bring them a new potato tomorrow
Cannot wait to be done with this FEMA course It's interesting but exhausting
Just in case you ever have impostor syndrome, remember that in 2011, workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory brought six kilograms of plutonium together to take a picture to show their management. The amount was enough to start a chain nuclear reaction if they had been slightly closer.
I got to nerd out about tenebrio molitor today :)
my conjecture is that Qanon gets coded as "new religious movement" (derogatory) and the neo-rationalists don't purely as a function of class and social status
Team Blue No Matter Who is going to have their work cut out for them because I for one refuse to entertain voting for or even saying nice things about someone who wants to compromise on trans rights. Like get the fuck away from me.
And frankly, the assumption that trans girls are naturally going to be better than cis girls at sports is some misogynistic, patriarchal, gender essentialist bullshit that I wish people would stop accepting as a premise
what is clear, these bigots actively seek out—including paying people or just lying—anything that might justify their hate regardless of who gets hurt, ends justify the means, to prevent them from ever feeling bad about some critical decision they made at some point that turned their life into shit
You know, before you endorse an influencer for anything, see how they treat women who don't find them impressive or attractive & react to them like they're any other entitled arrogant jackass You learn a lot about people that way
Have you identified a pervasive societal problem or was one person weird to you
Got to inject more oranges today I'm getting more comfortable with checking blood glucose too EMTs are authorized to do a very short list of things involving needles & I want to be good at them A person in anaphylaxis is already having a bad enough time without me screwing up
