was getting a little frustrated by how fast i got a headache now that ive reached actual new stuff in my chemistry textbook, when i want to keep studying... then after a while realized the problem isn't the learning, it's overstimulation from the football game being on tv while i'm taking notes 😅

Some extremely cool news from the precision medicine space - full article is member-only, but the free section is incredibly promising. In some lupus patients they've seen CAR-T therapy not only remove dysfunctional immune cells but the immune system then replace them with healthy ones!

Scoville is a boardgame best played by groups not containing economists or biologists. But the pepper pieces are cute at least

I think about this a lot.

there's nothing as satisfying as dropping the sudden twist that the ex-PC the party's been looking for is now a villain by giving everyone an FP & entering combat, then having one of your longtime friends yell "I KNEW YOU WERE ON SOME FUCK SHIT" because this is the third campaign you've done this in

i think the next big question for me right now is if i'm looking at an MD-PhD or just PhD program. it's a little frustrating how difficult it is to find out the difference in research opportunities, for all that MD-PhD programs hype up the research scientist angle

amazing how well death by glamour syncs up with the pounding in one's head

it would be so much easier getting into grad school if i hadnt dealt with the covid lockdowns, a friend/bully group meltdown, undiagnosed adhd, undiagnosed crohn's disease, and the consequential severe weight loss of All Of That At Once for the last two years of undergrad. RIP my undergrad GPA

i think. i accidentally took my adhd meds twice. today is going to be fun

#Promptober is here! This time I included two free spaces, for people to make whatever they want (or to even take that day to rest). As usual, please use the #promptober or #ttrpgpromptober tags when you post! please also don't feel shy about tagging me in them so I can reskeet.

You are correct. We will not get back the soybean market

Ope this is going off Ok folks! My Congressman is a MAGA clown who's on multiple ag committees. As a farmer, I need ag policymakers who tell Trump no. So for every donation to Kim Hardy, who's running against my Congressman, I will post one (1) ag fact. secure.actblue.com/donate/nc07s...

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Gonna expand on this and say there are absolute "left wing" slop/drama channels that are just grifting and not at all educating or like helping the cause. They just make easy dunks and jerk themselves off over how great they are.

i miss veilguard i wanna play it again

THIS IS A POST ABOUT NEVE GALLUS

I'm trying this immediately

chat is it a bad idea to pursue a masters in biostats and maybe a phd in genetics afterwards

mildly fascinated to discover there are lods of people on here convinced that everyone hates ben & jerry's ice cream because of [checks notes] social media posts that may or may not be related to international conflicts. guys. most people just know they make good ice cream. please log off sometimes

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

here's where we stand now. the sides are open again (originally closed one with the idea of holding the other shut) bc it turns out my measurements are Wrong As Usual. bottom needs about an inch added to the circumference, the waist area needs like 3 inches added. idk what the front waist is doing

i need to insert ~4 inches into this brigadine mockup, which is already being held together with packing tape because of questionable life choices (didnt add a seam allowance). contemplating just cutting across and literally inserting a four inch strip of fabric and/or tape

i finally remembered this house has an iron and ironing board AND used it to make my life easier with this mockup. please clap

Time for one of my favorite FFXIV posts ever for the Monster Hunter fans:

boundaries = “this isnt for me and ill take active steps to not see this type of stuff censorship = “this isnt for me and i want everyone who likes and/or makes this type of stuff thrown in jail”

never change, ffxiv

took my adhd meds for the first time since leaving pennsic and patiently waiting for my brain to turn on

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

its so fascinating to return home from two weeks of living in a tent, finally get to lay down in my own bed at home, and go you know what i prefer the tent. my housemate has been loudly and vigorously fucking a girl he unexpectedly brought home since 2am. at least in camp people fucked quietly.

at pennsic & discussing the lowered attendance this year, someone expressed confusion about why the Canadian kingdom didn't come... until i said "they didn't want to cross the border" and got a big ooooooh riiiiight. (related: very few fabric merchants this year - they're having trouble getting it)

oh is tourism down across the board in the united states, that’s crazy our new slogan “we will throw you in a fucking prison camp” doesn’t seem to be gaining traction with the tourism sector

me when im about to wipe the static

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...

I don’t want the NIH to be fucking profitable, I want it to cure cancer and Alzheimer’s

CHALLENGE COMPLETE im going to bed. (3 tunics, 2 sets of brais, and a cloak)

Dont stop contacting Visa/MC, but Itch needs Stripe specifically pressured right now.

A reminder to any who think they aren't affected by any of these "porn bans" need to read up on history. Purges of purity like this led to the Comics Code Authority, and the demonization of Horror as a genre across all mediums. "Smut" to the fascist is a pretty wide net for anything they dislike.

Call them anyway. Ignore their directive. Email them as well. Flood them. They wouldn't even be trying to redirect all of these complaints if the pressure wasn't making them uncomfortable.

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate" Call your representatives if you live in the US !!!!

ive never remembered to time a single part of any sewing project ive ever done, but i do know the bottom hem of this cloak took 4 hours and 25 minutes because that's how long it took to get a friend from the airport. (new york tried to keep her)
