CW: Antisemitism, Pale Of Settlement, Pogroms, Genocide, Cultural Erasure

I read this and couldn’t help but think of my mad scientist OC Dr. Kaye, who is very much a Type 1 (cold, calculating, emotionally detached) but has the recklessness of a Type 3 (rat bastard drenched in glowing mystery liquid with a shit eating grin). And she used to be anxious and paranoid… and still gets accused of being paranoid sometimes, because she has no friends and a lot of enemies and has decided it’s entirely rational to carry a gun and know how to use it. She’s a terrible person in general, but she gets a semi-redemption arc and she’s my little meow meow ❤️

I love mad scientists who have more academic knowledge than common sense (because I relate) (this is probably all mad scientists, kinda in the definition).

i love how many different mad scientist archetypes there are. we have like

- cold, calculating, really good at what they do, emotionally detached

- “dear GOD what did i just create”, paranoid, little meow meow

- bastard, rat, would find them drenched in glowing mystery liquid with a shit eating grin on their face, maniac cackling every time something is silly

and of course we have the mix why wouldnt we

Reminder about this because I am passionate and will not shut up about it lol

This is a little drawing I did in order to stick it to my laptop because I don’t have enough stickers as many stickers as I want :)

After I stuck it to my laptop, it tore, so I decided to fix it and make it look intentional. It’s a Shade from Hollow Knight- I love these funky little blobs of void

Thank you @printerpenguin for voting for Oakie :)

snail shell doodle (done with a real shell for reference as I was listening to my TA talking in marine biology lab)

@joaniejustwokeup Thank you for voting for Oakie and spreading the word! Enjoy the shell, I think it’s a moon snail.

dandelion facts:

Stories about dandelions can be found in folklore almost worldwide!

Dandelions have a diuretic effect (they make you pee,) which is reflected in some of their common names (piss-a-bed)

most North American dandelions reproduce asexually by apomixis, creating loads of identical daughters!

Since they reproduce asexually, these dandelions don't need to be pollinated, even though they produce lots of pollen and nectar. The dandelions that pop up in a lawn feed pollinators without receiving any benefit for themselves.

Dandelion seeds can sprout at any temperature between 0 and 36 degrees Celsius!

Dandelions can regenerate themselves from just a piece of their taproot!

dandelions have a near worldwide distribution and were introduced to North America as a food crop!

Dandelions grow bigger and produce more viable seeds in conditions of higher carbon dioxide, suggesting that human-caused carbon emissions are good news for the dandelions!

Dandelions have been shown to pass epigenetic changes to their DNA caused by stress to their offspring.

Oakie just won in the semifinals!

It was insanely close- 50.1% to 49.9%. Each of your votes were crucial! They will be in the finals April 4 - April 6, and I will post about it and do the same art thing as previously!

Thank you all for voting!

Having your own OC as your Blorbo is great because you will never have to see a bad Fannon brainrot take or awful but inexplicably popular ship involving them, but also I Have To Do Everything Myself Around Here Augh

In my biology lab classes:

Look at this cool living stuff! Today we’re dissecting flowers! What do you mean you won’t pipet by mouth? Yeah, wash your hands, don’t spill the microbes.

Would you like to taste this edible fungus? Or this edible plant?

In my chemistry lab classes:

So this is the concentrated acid and this other chemical will give you cancer and this one is highly flammable and might explode….

Always wear safety glasses and gloves and clothes that cover your body (in case you spill something corrosive or toxic) but aren’t too tight (so you can get them off fast in the event of Dangerous Chemical Spill) or too loose (so they won’t drag and catch on fire). NEVER EVER PIPET BY MOUTH OR TASTE ANYTHING OR EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BECAUSE DOING THAT MIGHT KILL YOU. Fires happen in the lab, let’s hope we don’t have any this semester!

To people who are desperately asking for fundz/donations on tumblr.

USE THESE REDDIT SUBS INSTEAD PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!!!!!!

Hate Reddit if you want, but using these subs are your best chance. People gather in these subs because they have charity to spare:

/r/Assistance /r/legaladvice /r/RandomKindness /r/Charity /r/care /r/Random_Acts_Of_Pizza /r/Food_Pantry https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfPetFood/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsOfChristmas/ https://www.reddit.com/r/almosthomeless/ https://www.reddit.com/r/homeless

/r/freelance  /r/povertyfinance /r/thrifty /r/borrow /r/gofundme

/r/depression /r/familysupport /r/transitions 

I never see anyone actually getting any significant donations on tumblr and to be honest, tumblr is the worst place to ask for assistance. Use it as your last resort, it frustrates me to no end seeing people begging for help, reblogging the same post over and over, the same types of posts over and over, to no avail, when people are waiting to help you on a different part of the web  GO TO WHERE THE HELP IS. IF YOU WANT DIRECT ACTION TO WORK STOP WITH TUMBLR AND USE REDDIT.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN REBLOG THIS SO WE CAN START REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF DONATION POSTS THAT GET STUCK FLOATING AROUND THIS WEBSITE

Ok, ngl, I love how much effort you put into your Human/Modern AU. It's quite fantastic to read, I do have to ask on other characters like the God Tamer, Zote, Elderbug, and Lace, what're they like in your AU if you have any ideas for them?

Honestly, I haven’t thought of much for most of them yet, but my friend and I had some discussions that led to more character lore regarding Zote and the ghost characters, so here ya go! • Gorb: the school janitor and a crazy Radiance fan. He occasionally talks with Sybil about their obsession. • Zote: The Hallownest public school’s horrible gym teacher, who may or may not be on drugs. He thinks way too much of himself and keeps talking about how his precepts are the way to success. Bretta develops a crush on him. • Marissa: an up and coming young singer who likes Radiance’s music but wants nothing to do with The Fandom (TM). She’s Marmu’s older cousin.

• Marmu: One of Ghost and Grimm Jr.’s classmates. A sweet, naïve little girl who likes to play ball games. • Xero: An absolutely obsessed Radiance fan who got arrested for threatening the lives of the mayor and his family during the Radiance protests. • No Eyes is the local legend/Cryptid.
