honestly that baby tattoo story is already so surreal and implausible i dont have the heart to tell anyone that it also has a party hat and he refers to it as party baby and i still dont know whos baby it is
You know, in retrospect, having gay marriage as a debate topic when I was the only openly gay kid in class was SUPER WEIRD. Imagine if you walked into AP Gov and your teacher pointed at you like, “I don’t think Brian should have health insurance because he sucks. Discuss?”
Finals are finishing up so I had time to draw for fun!!! Here’s a self indulgent horse doodle and you can expect a couple films from me uploaded in the next week!
I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.
so has oprah ever apologized or faced any consequence for significantly contributing to the antivaxx movement
im sorry she did WHAT
shewas one of the first people to give the antivaxx movement a platform and never bothered to decry it and then everyone started paying attention to it and even believing it because she is oprah
she also promoted a book called “the secret” which claimed that trying and wanting hard enough to be cured would cure someone. one of her viewers wrote to oprah saying she saw that show and stopped treatment for cancer, and instead uses a holistic “doctor”. her name was kim tinkham. she and the holistic “doctor” were invited on the show talking about how he cured her cancer and how his alkaline diet could cure cancer and so many other health problems, again providing a platform for deadly awful shitty anti-medicine.
kim died 3 years later of cancer. and who knows how many other people tried to quit cancer treatment or otherwise died because of some shit oprah promoted on her show
apparently including a link makes the reblog not show up in the notes or something so if you are checking the notes for more information and not seeing the above links, check this post
Introducing Hyloscirtus hillisi, a species of treefrog
recently discovered in the eastern Andes of Ecuador. Among its many
distinguishing features is an enlarged claw, the purpose of which isn’t
immediately clear.
H. hillisi is the latest member of
the Hyloscirtus genus of frogs, of which 37 species were previously
known. These frogs like to live and reproduce around streams, and can be
found from Costa Rica to the Andes of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru,
and Venezuela. They’re also known for their elaborate camouflage and
the flanging tips on their fingers and toes.
The new species of frog was discovered at Cordillera del Cóndor, a
sub-Andean mountain chain in a largely unexplored region of Ecuador’s
eastern Andes. The team that discovered H. hillisi, led by
Santiago R. Ron from Catholic University of Ecuador, named the new
species after David Hillis, who discovered three closely related frog
species back in the 1980s, also in Ecuador. Details of the new frog were
published this week in the science journal ZooKeys…
