A brilliant graphic from protectpalestineorg — 30 universities with the largest endowments in the USA , currently hosting encampments to protest against their institutions investments in the State of Israel. Harvard University contributing the most in Israeli investments, totalling $50 billion.
After a successful hunger strike in February, Darthmouth (New Hampshire) has begun a divestment process.
As of April 28th there are currently no encampments at: John Hopkins (MD), UVA (VA) and Notre Dame (IN).
question about domestic yak: do they have similar body language to cows?
they do, sorta! though the way a yak moves is a lot more agile than a cow! that combined w their big fluffy tails and habit of running around w their tongues out, it makes them look.. kinda dawggy.
majority of the spiders you think of as being incredibly dangerous are actually really fucking chill
black widows? rarely bite, and their bites usually dont end up requiring any medical attention unless the victim is a child, elderly, or has a preexisting health condition
tarantulas? same as black widows, except their bites are supposedly akin to bee stings. theyre really shy as well
huntsman spiders? same as the other two! theyd rather run! all of these spiders would rather run! venom is expensive!
brown recluses? the champions of "dangerous spider bites"? theyre the most dangerous ones im mentioning here, but only about ten percent of their bites actually end up being what you associate with them! most of what you hear of as being from a brown recluse isnt actually from them! PEOPLE HAVE MISDIAGNOSED ANTHRAX AS BROWN RECLUSE BITES FOR FUCKS SAKE! also, theyre very commonly misidentified! there are lots of small brown spiders out there!
so next time you see a "dangerous spider", grab a cup and some paper, and let the thing go outside. or just let it hang out in your house. ive heard of a family living in a house entirely infested with brown recluses and never getting bit
Yearly reminder to leave wheelchair users alone. This is important all year, but especially in winter!
Almost everywhere is designed for abled people, leaving wheelchair users at a disadvantage. Roads are uneven, there is unpaved walking paths, and in winter we get extra obstacles.
Wheelchair users are forced to take whatever path we can and sometimes that happens to be right smack in the middle of the road.
If a wheelchair user seems stuck (especially in winter) you can ask us if we would like some help. Otherwise please be patient with us and only drive or walk around us if it is safe to do so! Wheelchair users' lives are more important than wherever you are driving. You can wait.
*Taking this to encompass all forms of MCYT, from modern streamed SMPs such as Dream SMP and QSMP, to popular YouTube series like Hermitcraft, to old-school series like Yogscast, Aphmau, and Stampy, and single-player series such as Mumbo Jumbo's redstone videos. For the purposes of this poll, any uploaded video format that is primarily focused on content set within the game Minecraft counts as MCYT.
When I say negatively, you can take this in any way, but I am specifically thinking of people who will look down in or be wary of people who say they are into MCYT, or have "MCYT fans DNI" or similar listed on their profile. If you are not interested in MCYT but have no negative connotations with the medium you are free to not answer.
Since I am a MCYT blog the results may appear skewed at first- I don't want to be the "reblog for bigger sample size" guy but if you have reach outwith MCYT spheres please consider it!
Hello.
This is BIGHIT MUSIC.

“Right Place, Wrong Person” is an 11-track album that captures some of the universal emotions that we all experience at some point in life, such as the feeling of being an outsider who doesn’t fit in.
The album falls within the alternative genre, boasting a rich sound coupled with frank, honest lyrics. Your anticipation and support for RM and his second solo album “Right Place, Wrong Person” would be much appreciated
Thank you.
*Pre-Order Date: From 11 AM, Friday, April 26, 2024 (KST) onward
