Trees, Like Animals, Can Also Experience Albinism, Though It Is Extremely Rare.

I love you dead punctuation marks.

They deserve everything that the rest of us do, that shouldn't change because of what they don't like

Found this on Pinterest, but count this screenshot as a reblog

So, it begins.

As a non-binary individual on HRT, the sweeping changes that were announced today have a direct effect on me personally, and on many of my friends and chosen family. LGBTQ+ and BIPOC allies are needed more than ever. Today is ONLY day one. Things are going to get a lot worse.

And to those who don't think it matters, that this is something that doesn't affect you or your loved ones personally? IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS BEING AFFECTED BY THESE CHANGES.

ALL of my official governmental documents have X listed as my gender currently. The new edict calls into question whether or not these documents are even valid anymore, depending on who you ask.

A lot of people said these changes would never and COULD never come. But we are here, now, the first day of (at least) four years and the ink is already drying on a new executive order. This country is growing more fascist and less democratic by the day. Do what you can to help your communities, to help the people you love.

Give people grace, give people the benefit of the doubt, and do what you can to support the people around you. There are way more of us than you may realize, and many people will be afraid to wear their pride in the coming times ahead.

We are tired, we are afraid, and we are angry.

We are here. And nothing is ever going to change that.

My door is always open, in case anyone needs an ear to listen or a friend to talk to.

Love you all.

I have fucking fifty+

If you're fifteen or older an still sleep with a stuffed animal please reblog this.

My friend is embarrassed and thinks she’s the only one and I said id prove her wrong.

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.

It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.

Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.

Stab wounds:

I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.

also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.

if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)

whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites

Concussion:

despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.

Fever:

you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.

ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:

sluggishness

seizures (severe)

inability to speak clearly

feeling chilly/shivering

nausea

pain

delirium

symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.

ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.

fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.

keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you

ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:

YOU DIE AT 85F

sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.

pt 2

also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox

????😭😭😭

I love this chaos because someone is new

For fucking real, I HAD PANIC ATTACKS BECAUSE OF THIS. Though to be fair I was also in a place where everyone expected you to be immediately better at everything than the average kid at that age, no thank you I already had ✨T R A U M A✨ from feeling responsible for the actions of my younger sibling. All caused by the fact that my dad near constantly guilt-tripped me making me feel useless if I didn't want to help(I still have an issue with needing to not be a burden every time I visit a friend or participate in anything).

...

I apologize for ranting at the internet.

suck, and i cannot stress this enough, my cock to the fucking base
