i just feel like you guys should see this thread about foxes

For some reason, when biologists want to describe “the assemblage of morphological features shared among many members of a phylum-level group” we say bauplan. Which is German for “body plan.” But even if you don’t speak German you say “bauplan” anyway. So this is a very hilarious Social Media Discourse from someone who has forgotten that the word “bauplan” is an instant giveaway that you are actually a biologist and that makes it fantastic it’s like when robots try to pretend that they’re human but better

Donations to help me eat

So, next week is fall break and the issue with that is that I have no income so I have no real source of food (at school I have my meal plan). I’m a multiply disabled nonbinary lesbian in college right now so I literally am unable to work currently. It would be extremely helpful if people could donate a buck so I can eat.

If anyone would like to help me out you can shoot me am ask for my pay pal email or use my gf’s email bth8fwd@gmail.com

Thank you so much for reblogging this

Legitimate *pro bono legal services* don’t exist without a good reason. In a few of the exmormon groups I’m in you’ll see regular posts saying stuff like “Look what my lawyer sent me today!” with a pic of their resignation confirmation letter from the church.

You know. Just stuff that a normal average church that is definitely not actually a cult would do. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

🙄

As an ex-mormon, I’m gonna look the fuck into this. I want nothing to do with the church that shaped so much toxicity about my self image and my sexual orientation.

Not sure if any followers need this but if you do, here you go.

Everyone should be able to choose their religious beliefs and community, and leave any that they find does not work for them.

An Ohio family sits on the picket line during the 1981 air traffic controllers strike. It ended after the federal government fired all 11,300 striking workers, banned them from ever being rehired, legally dissolved their union and sent in military air traffic controllers to replace them.

bus drivers who re-open their doors when they see someone running towards the stop are neutral good. any other kind of bus driver is automatically lawful evil

chaotic evil: the bus driver who saw me running to the stop and waited until i was at the door to close it and drive away

Time to bring back my husband’s fucking legendary bus story:

[Text:

Taking public transport for the first time in over two months, I made my way to the stop five minutes early. On my way there, I spotted my bus which also happened to be early (the chances ikr) and frantically waved for it to wait for me… which it did, up untill tried to board.

I took a bit of time crossing the road because of some confused traffic and when I finally made it: the driver slammed the doors shut in my face and took off on me.

“I am taking this bus!”

Determined to catch the bus which rused me, seemingly on purpose, I took chase, but it quickly became evident that I could not outrun something that wasn’t made of flesh and bone. Defeated, I crawled back to the bus stop and sat down, resigned to my fate of waiting another 45 minutes.

Then, not one, but two cars (with people inside) pulled up and told me about how they’d seen my valiant effort and offered to chase that bus down for me. The first I politely declined, but the second man felt responsible for slowing me down at the crossing and insisted he take me to the hospital at least as he was picking somebody up from there, anyhow.

After bonding over a short drive with Mr. Wayne, he dropped me off at the medical center and left. presumably to fight crime. A few moments later, the same bus arrived at FMC.

Taking no chances this time, I leapt on board (OK, OK… walked aboard) and stared the driver, who looked as though he’d seen a ghost: dead in the eye and calmly stated, “I am taking this bus.” ]

Working doorbell is now up 👍

I was going to put it on the metal door edge, but the instructions specifically said not to place the button unit near metal which might interfere. Can’t get very far away from it with that door, but I settled for sticking it on the glass and it seems to work fine. Should also be hard to miss there 🙄

Also got the old button covered over again with black electrical tape, since I really didn’t want to unscrew it and mess with wires today. Too dark to see that, even if it had been in frame here.
