sheesh how would _I_ measure Planck's constant? I dunno
maybe measure radiation "pressure"?
home steroid hormone monitoring
this has gotta be achievable. tell you what I'm imagining
you prick your finger like you're doing a blood test for glucose, and you just dab the blood on some machine's sensor pad and you get estimates of estradiol and estrone and testosterone and so forth
or, lower-tech, semiquantitative analysis: you get some kind of color reaction and you compare colors to a chart, like you're using a pee strip
how does that strike people?

Not all cults are religious
Right on. During the past few years, I've been doing a little reading about cults, since I wanted to learn if it was possible to stop one's self from falling for a cult. After I'd learned about the red flags and manipulative tactics of cults, I noticed that a lot of secular organizations use them, just the same. I was so creeped out when I realized that training videos for a minimum wage job have a lot of the red flags of cult indoctrination, making sure that workers stay obedient, fearful, ignorant, and don't unionize for their rights.
there totally has to be some trick that'll allow us to get estradiol valerate injection bottles by the crate
bleh we are terrible at using what Kara calls "liminal times" usefully
Evangelion and mother feels
hah Kara's asking her girlfriend (who is a huuuuge Eva fan) about shopping for an Eva-02 figure as a sort of symbolic representation of our "biological" mom
like...we fucking hated her. there's no two ways about it. because she could never bond with us. we've got ideas about why it happened that way...she was in a lot of pain
but she did try to protect us and teach us as best she could
kinda like Eva-02, really...

I used to hear the stories of people who’d come out of cults (as typically defined in our media) and think ‘wow, what a unique life experience.’
I now (partly, mostly, or nearly completely) out of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, liberalism, American exceptionalism, capitalism, rationalism, and scientism and that’s just the cults I can think of off the top of my head. So many of us are survivors, it would seem.
pretty good Asuka Langley fanart. (kinda hate the tendency to turn her into total fanwank material, yanno)

(I mean, sometimes...web pages do whatever the frig they want don't they, these days)
uh is there some Firefox plugin that will let me change what typeface an arbitrary website uses? I'd like to use a bigger font without changing the layout in other ways (which is what happens if you try just..naively scaling)
of course I can't access the Windows file sharing network from Xubuntu no matter what I try

in which a wigglytuff subtoots, yet again
i mean honestly
if your partner says the only way they can work through their trauma and get mental wellness is to not be in a relationship with you
i swear this makes me want to make a Highlights For Children style cartoon
GALLANT is sad but loves their partner and wants them to get help and recovery!
GOOFUS minimizes their partner's stated needs and is concerned mostly about not being in a relationship with them!
opened one pack. there's a vague Norse theme. there's a horse named Viking, and another named Thor!
huh what should I do with these packs of Bella Sara cards that Kara got? open 'em all at once, one at a time...
