for further wtf is clathrin, when a cell needs to make a bubble - a vesicle - for a certain purpose, like it wants stuff outside of itself to come in or vice versa, clathrin is a little twirly-three-legs dude that hooks together to help form that bubble by being the 'cage' around it.

for why i like them so much, listen, i don't even know man, i just think it's pleasingly elegant to look at, see attached meme for more information

hey if anyone here makes , or wants to prototype something and then make your million on kickstarter or whatever, or is also just a big nerd like me, please consider the following ideas:

1. a pendant of a single clathrin triskelion (bc there's someone doing the entire vesicle but IT'S 198 DOLLARS FOR THE PENDANT AND I'M POOR)

2. a desk toy that is magnetized clathrin triskelions so you can assemble and disassemble and play with them

(for wtf is clathrin, see pic)

while getting jeered at by fatphobic assholes on reddit isn't a great way to start the day, it did at least make me sit down and examine my relationship to checking reddit and decide it was a good time to nuke my browsing history, take it off the shortcuts, and generally make it much harder for myself to get into the rut of gawking at misery and wanting to fight people

...

although other bad things are happening in this world, please remember: new froggies have been discovered in madagascar! they are tiny! and they have been given the new genus name: Mini! and the new frog species are: M. ature, M. scule, and M. mum.

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

"i am a joy and a delight and any discord server would be happy to have me" i whisper to myself moments before posting this

so i have been playing this free to play mmorpg on the switch mostly out of morbid curiosity and by that i mean i'm softly going 'oh my god' at the sheer weeaboo levels

"harp it's a game made in japan how can it be weeb"

please see attached screenshot evidence.

Dr. von Doom Decides To Shitpost On Mastodon (Colorized), 1957

like it's nice and all when someone assumes we mods are omnipotent but the reality is that being a mod of a discord server, and our power level on getting people banned from facebook, can be shown in the following graph

anyway, it's very fun to write intros to fake Secret World lore entries, simply because you get to pile on obscure references after wikipedia-diving for them.

but i'm also cheating by using bjork lyrics.

still fun tho.

wiki.crygaia.org/view/Lore is, btw, what i am trying to emulate (at least, the first entries, extended out). even if you don't give a shit about ever playing secret world, the lore entries are just a darn good time and some real nice reading.

the eternal mood:

looking really cute then forgetting to take a pic of yourself when you finally trudge back home

but still

ANIME WATER DRESS WITH MANICURE TO MATCH AND CUTE NEW PURSE, tw: eye contact for the one with my face in it idk why the pic is on its side it's a mystery to everyone.

PRO MAKEUP HAXX:

to make people think you've spent much more time doing your eyeshadow than you actually have, get a large 'toothbrush' style brush and a rainbow highlighter, put down some glitter eyeshadow primer, and then load up the brush with rainbow highlighter and roll it onto your eye all at once, then do the lid itself some other color since that's where it's not gonna transfer too good and fill in the edges with a brush as needed

and BAM! RAINBOW!

(selfies with eye contact follow)

good news everyone! it's time for my good aesthetic decisions in to get in your eyeballs!

.

...

...... """""""good""""""

they're certainly aesthetic decisions though

and yes i did just get this warframe in a moment of "d'aw shucks, well, if that's a 50% off coupon..." (and what can i say i'm so excited for hildryn GOD SHE LOOKS SO GOOD)

i today i drew some terrible comic type shits about with mediocre drawing and too many got dam words
