Everyone knows there are only two human emotions: Freddie Mercury crying out “I don’t wanna die, sometimes wish I’d never been born at all” and Florence Welch declaring “I am done with my graceless heart, so tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart”.
Portuguese designer Susana Soares has developed a device for detecting cancer and other serious diseases using trained bees. The bees are placed in a glass chamber into which the patient exhales; the bees fly into a smaller secondary chamber if they detect cancer.
Scientists have found that honey bees - Apis mellifera - have an extraordinary sense of smell that is more acute than that of a sniffer dog and can detect airborne molecules in the parts-per-trillion range.
Bees can be trained to detect specific chemical odours, including the biomarkers associated with diseases such as tuberculosis, lung, skin and pancreatic cancer.
breathe into the BEE ORB to reveal your fate
ah, finally, we are entering the timeline where magic and science are actually the same thing
I prepared myself. I prepared myself for the unholy utterances I was certain would be cast at me, as though they were being cast from hell, and yet I was so, so defenseless for the real thing.
God damn
…clown ghosts.

Cicadas do not race cars. If cicadas did race cars, this is what it would sound like.
the Groaning Machine is so heartstoppingly on-brand for me that I had to watch it twice before I appreciated the sheer Art of it, which is that somebody aligned all the tubes and wheels to carefully calibrate this sound, which rises and falls in a calculatedly horrible way, I am filled with so much respect
This Machine.
This Machine is writing something Angsty in RP This Machine is the video from The Ring This Machine is finding a way to casually drop a horrifying ‘Fun Fact’ into a conversation, like the existence of the Wyoming Supervolcano, or where Pearlfish live. This Machine is an Unfortunatley Well Constructed Pun
An absolute delight for the creator, though strictly speaking the effort was Far Too Much For The Result, and it eats at least some portion of your soul to create it …and an Abomination for the viewer, who must now live with that knowledge.
The only cure. Is the video. In inflicting the curse of Wretched Knowledge upon someone else, we are freed.
i just found this super cool reusable menstrual pad that will save us thousands of bucks
apparently an average woman spends about $120/year on pads and tampons and an additional $20/year on medications for cramps and other period side effects. since we menstruate for approximately 40 years, we spend (40 times 140) = $5,600 for our period over our lifetime.
IMAGINE WHAT YOU CAN BUY FOR $5,600?!?!
which is why i turned to menstrual pads. eco-friendly, economical and healthy
also, im saying goodbye to everyone in the public bathroom knowing im on my period
i got the pads here and they have all the info on their website!
I’ve read about diapers, tampon and pads containing toxic chemicals:
“A recent study published in Reproductive Toxicology3 confirms the results of a previous study4 from 2014 demonstrating how thefeminine care industry sells products containing harmful chemicals, including pesticides, fragrances, dyes and preservatives.”
So not only are menstrual pads cheaper, they’re also safer for your body!
sis i got this and have been using reusable pads for three years i can tell y’all it’s 100% reliable than your ex telling you hes a changed man, 100% discreet than your ex’s loud chewing and 100% healthier than your toxic relationship
so stop thinking of your ex and start using reusable pads instead
both sis got points but i dont know which point drove me into buying the pad
its probably thinking about what i can buy for $5,600 like thats so overwhelming thats 10% of my college debt right there
I don’t think a lot of people really understand that ecosystems in North America were purposefully maintained and altered by Native people.
Like, we used to purposefully set fires in order to clear underbrush in forests, and to inhibit the growth of trees on the prairies. This land hasn’t existed in some primeval state for thousands of years. What Europeans saw when they came here was the result of -work-
the east coast was all mature and maintained food forests. decades if not centuries of nurturing and maintenance. when the british arrived they were amazed that there were paths through the forest just “naturally” lined with berries and edible plants, like a garden of eden. then they tore that shit down to grow wheat. dumbasses
This website has a clickable map where you can see suspected and confirmed sundown towns by state, as well as information about whether these attitudes are historical or current.
I live in southeast Texas, literally minutes form Vidor. OP is not kidding. OP is not exaggerating. Do not stop there. I will honest to god meet you with a can of gas if you run out on I10, just stay away from there. Make it to Beaumont. Make it to Bridge City or Lake Charles.
last year when i was teaching 11th grade one of my fav students came in crying so i put the class on a filler activity and we just talked. they were doing ICE raids in the city and she was worried her parents wouldnt be there when she got home. then she was worried that ICE may come to the school and take her. we looked the laws up together and printed it out so she could carry the papers with her.
it is illegal for ICE to raid a school and take children. ILLEGAL. i told my student (and eventually the class in like a blanket statement because i had quite a few undocumented students) that if anyone did come i would put my body between ICE and my students and really struggle. honestly my heart broke so much that day - take care of undocumented people in your life because they deserve so much better than this ffs. this woman is so very evil and has a black heart and i hope she rots in prison
