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)

Christianity Thought That Probably Shouldn't Be A Hot Take At All To Anyone Unless You Disagree With The Christian Ideas Presented Which Is Fair But Not The Discussion I'd Like To Have In This Moment:

if he wasnt methodist i would be campaigning everywhere for mr rogers to be canonized as a saint, because i think he's one of the few people in modern times that deserves to be so

i got the lemon mint scent and it smells like proper lemon. like actual lemon juice. not fakey lemon, or lemonade, or lemon cleaning product. it's a little amazing.

anyway if you're trying to do the thing for your dry hands but you're neurodivergent and hate sticky/greasy/creamy hands, or work in a job where it's important to grip shit - totally check the Saem hand light essence out.

i do notice i have to reapply slightly more often but it's an incredibly unique product so woah.gif

maybe someday i can actually Make Content

i've been working on a showdown of the hand creams for sweetdisabled and an interesting new contender has appeared

if you don't like your hands feeling greasy/creamy, but have dry hands - check out the Saem hand light essence.

it's like... if that hand sanitizer gel was the evil twin, this is the angelic good twin. it goes on like a gel, feels like water, melts in REALLY quick. kinda fucking baffled how it works.

@mutantemojibot@botsin.space current mood... drifloon???

i think current mood is drifloon yall

@sydia 100% valid. chili dogs deserve PROPER CHEESE and none of this tinned cheese product nacho sauce

@sydia though it may be more of a thing around chicago.

so: truce so that we combine forces and kinkshame chicago?

@sydia i have some really bad news for you tastingtable.com/dine/national

cinnamon rolls as a dessert *after* the chili, i can see, but apparently it's beloved in some schools and most of the kids DUMP THE CHILI ON TOP and that is the exact moment i lose my shit

@sydia Y'ALL APPARENTLY SERVE IT OVER CINNAMON ROLLS

THAT AIN'T RIGHT

(i have no idea what's going on but i'm just still horrified about hearing chili served on top of cinnamon rolls is, like, a regular thing that happens in cincinnati, and i am so terrified of y'all up there now.)

a wigglytuff asks for advice among fellow discord moderators 

my reasoning is that the statements go one of two ways

1. it's bullshit attention seeking, fishing for "nooo you're so greeeat please stay"

2. it's the truth, which is worse, because if the entire hobby is toxic for this person, keeping them on the server as a gateway back into those toxic behaviors is pretty fucking cruel. at that point it's clearly my onus as mod to cut them off if they're here for digital self-harm.

is 'three strikes you're out' a reasonable policy to have with flouncers

a problem user is now on flounce number two, of the "i'm quitting this hobby forever it's terrible for my mental health" type - statements always get walked back to "except for this server".

tbh if it happens a third time i am leaning towards banhammer. is this bonkers too harsh or too soft?

note it's a hobby server, not srs bzns mental support space. (cont)

@citlali@kitty.town it really is nice and meditative!! i've been doing the same thing, i need to paint mine again after giving them a bit of a break to soak up nail oil. simplynailogical's video about growing long nails/nail care is basically the set of tips i'm following, LOL

i will say also if you don't have any, some liquid latex is amaaazinggg. but i may be biased because i'm bad at actually painting my nails, so it really helps to use it to put up a bit of a barrier

@citlali@kitty.town lol same, they're so easy to do at home now! AND you can use all the little chroming powders n shit. fuck those are so incredibly satisfying to use. if you haven't hit up bornpretty to buy some, 10/10 would recommend it makes you feel like a fuckin WIZARD

unfortunately i got really thin nails so i just can't do them being roughed up to grip for gel :( but i will say china glaze's super adhesion base coat is pretty baller. chipping still happens tho.

@citlali@kitty.town that's valid, i stopped doing my nails with gel because the entire nail worth of nail polish just likes yeeting itself off my fingernail and then it's a bad time LMAO

i would join the dice discourse and showing off but

i actually don't have any physical dice

reasons:

1. i would lose them constantly

2. pretty ones look like they'd be good to lick but i know they're not going to taste good but Wanna Lick

3. my dog also probably thinks 2 is valid and dice look tasty

@humansoflate@botsin.space pictured: a legitimate strategy for dealing with summer in the south

@citlali@kitty.town nnnNNNOOOOoo

..................okay yeah i've also done the same thing but also like. at least get you some nail oil plx to immediately help your nails a bit

*shoves nail oil pen through the internet at you*
