Look, I think it is important that as many people as possible see these phenomenal photos of Melanobatrachus indicus, because they are damn rare, but truly spectacular.
If anyone wants to know my favourite frog, this is probably in the top five.
me: does it always have to be that serious
the part of my brain that controls the imagery, symbolism, and themes department: yes
Traditional w/ Valence: Kind of the minimum acceptable awning to fall on. Better than nothing but not great for higher drops. 4/10
Traditional w/ Wrap Valence: Slightly better, but not enough to make a difference. You'd aim for it over a standard Valence but you still won't like it very much when you land. 4/10
Dome: Honestly insulting. No matter how you fall on it, guaranteed to throw you in a worse direction than you started. Possibly worse than just falling directly from the top of the building to the pavement? City council continues to ignore my suggestion to ban them. 0/10
Gable: Kind of a mixed bag. Good landing but only if you're very experienced falling onto awnings. If you land wrong that's gonna be hurting for days. 6/10 unless you haven't fallen off a roof before, then 2/10
Bullnose: More user friendly imho, forgiving surface area but it can make you careless of those rounded edges. Still, it's your good working awning, the people's awning, always a solid choice for falling off a roof. 7/10
Quarter Round: Deceptively evil. I've seen people bounce right into incoming traffic from these, avoid at all costs. 0/10
Casement (Hip Roof): May as well have no awning. Tell me you hate people falling off roof tops without telling me you hate people falling off roof tops. Awning for selfish people only. 0/10
Waterfall: Weirdly very springy, unexpectedly stylish if you know your roof falling. A great playful bounce without enough kick to throw you into traffic. 7/10
Stationary Canopy: The gold standard for awnings. When you're falling out of a tall building, this is the one you always wanna see. Catches you like a 12 year old fielding a gently tossed baseball. 10/10
Lateral Arm Retractable: Next best to a Stationary, maybe a little less stability, but almost always a nice clean landing. 9/10
Circular: Not ideal but it will do in a pinch. Terrible stopping power, falling on these you pretty much are for sure going to plow completely through it. 3/10
Concave: It's a slide. Just drop in on one of these for hours of child like delight. With enough experience falling off a roof you can land on this owning and sail into a room in the other side of the street. 100/10
everyone on twitter saying this is confusing. "oh hes just saying words hes making so sense" hes making perfect sense you just dont get it. once you open that can of cinnamon rolls, there is no going back. the cinnamon rolls have been released and they will NOT be stuffed back into the cannister. you are locked onto this path, you will be making cinnamon rolls whether you were prepared or not. if you cant understand this you cannot claim to have kennergy.
Anyone else ever notice how like, fatohobes and transphobes and like, every other weird puritanical rightwing-adjacent asshole talks about bodies like they're gonna get trade-in value for the damn thing in the afterlife?
Like, as if the body is a "starter home" that they're gonna flip when they die or some shit?
Your body should show no signs of having lived. No scars, no tattoos, no stretch marks, no wrinkles, no piercings. If you MUST alter it then you can ONLY make changes that increase curb appeal and adhere to current market trends.
Just like your home should be white walls and shiplap and open modernist floorplans with no sign of personality because omg, what if that lowers the resale value!?
Sorry but the body isn't an investment. St. Peter is not going to give you a coupon or some shit if you die and your body is Like New still.
I know I've been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It's a crime that I don't know who that is actually. They're more important than Einstein
id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:
The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world's first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.
The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao
Oh my god
growing up being autistic but not knowing is just *hiding in room while people are over* *getting tired and needing to recharge after the smallest chores* *getting called a gifted kid* *knowing that you’re “weird” because people are making fun of you but not knowing how to stop being weird* *having adults tell you how “mature” you are* *getting in trouble for not doing work* *convincing yourself that you’re just lazy and stupid because you can’t make yourself do work* *getting really invested in “weird” media*
