THIS!

biologists will be like this is a very simplified diagram of a mammalian cell

chemists will be like this is a molecule

okay but this is what the best render of a human cell looks like

They are not kidding

We are full of so many fuckign guys

This is actually a full on interactive map! You can put your cursor over any structure to focus on it and see its name, you can focus on all the structures that are part of a specific pathway and, when you click on proteins, you open it up on PhosphoSitePlus, which is a curated database of proteins and their post-translational modifications. It has a helpful description and summary for each protein!

This is a HUGE complementary resource for learning molecular biology! It really helps to make sense of each individual pathway and it puts everything into perspective. It only focuses on human, rat and certain other animal cells, so it won’t have all the pathways one would wish to see… But for the pathways it does include, consider opening the image and accompanying it as you learn or revise them!

oh wow, thank you for the additional information, i had no idea, that’s so much cooler than just the flat picture.

As a continuation of my “let Dipper say Fuck” and “let Stan say Bitch” agenda, I don’t think Bill should be allowed to swear. I think he should be perfectly aware of the concept and vocabulary of swear words but he’s just physically incapable of swearing due to being stuck in a kid’s show. And he’s really, really, really mad about that.

i think a lot of liberals need to confront the fact that they don’t actually believe everyone should have basic human rights. a homeless person could call me every slur under the sun and i would still want them to have housing, food, etc. the belief that everyone is entitled to basic human rights should not hinge on whether you “like” someone or not. at that point the entire ideology crumbles.

I believe the issue here is that a lot of people have already thought about this situation and fully accept it

Because this doesn't seem to me to be about "like" or not. This seems like a "paradox of tolerance" situation. Your hypothetical homeless man doesn't seem like someone who would treat others right if he was given the hand up. After all, if you have to wait for their behavior to get physical then you could be dead before you can react to them

living up to the bio i see.

ANYWAY. you’re exemplifying my point. i don’t give a fuck what someone else’s beliefs are when it comes to Basic Human Rights. that’s why they’re called Basic Human Rights. because they are inherent (or should be). they do not hinge on someone’s behavior. they do not hinge on whether someone is “deserving” or not. see the funny part is, if every human being knew they would be guaranteed housing, food, water, clothes, and hygiene products/facilities every single day, the world would be a much less hateful place, because these things could not be used to make us turn on one another. people would also be less likely to feed into hateful rhetoric if they weren’t constantly looking for someone to blame for their struggles

The worst, most loathsome human being on earth still deserves shelter, food, medical care, education, etc.

"Don't be a Job Hopper" 1940s Disney WWII propaganda poster

In 1941 Disney animators went on strike after Walt Disney refused to let his workers unionize. The workers were angry about unfair policies on pay and benefits. On the picket line the animators lynched and guillotined an effigy of Walt Disney himself. (lmao i had to re-encode this gif because tumblr blocks it automatically as a banned image???)

trump will get shot, elon musk will kill himself and misandry will become a real thing by the end of 2024

3 transphobic arguments to be aware of (so you don't go down the alt right pipeline)

source

Easily one of the most important videos I've seen since the election.

Video transcription:

My fellow cis ladies, here's three transphobic arguments I want you to know now so you don't fall for them later because this is the hot topic gateway into conservatism for women.

Just to be clear, it's-it's-it's the Nazi kind of conservatism as well.

Remember "divide and conquer" is the name of the game, so don't be divided!

First thing transphobes are is they're gender essentialists, so they will tell you "men are inherently bad and evil and it's in their DNA, and women by contrast are good and fragile and precious." And it's the same logic as like "oh, women are more sensitive and nurturing, which is why they should stay at home." It's bullshit because women are not inherently anything, women are human beings with free will and idolization is just dehumanization with better PR [public relations]. I, as a woman, have capacity for evil, which makes my choice to be good that much more important.

Number two thing, and you will notice if you listen to TERFs [trans-exclusionary radical feminists] long enough is that they hate being women, they have a lot of internalized misogyny, they think being a woman is about pain and suffering. The attitude that women are predestined to suffer and men are predestined to make us suffer is a very defeatist attitude, it means that you can never see a future without misogyny in it.

And the number three thing, and this is the stupidest argument: They will tell you that cis men are pretending to be trans women to go into women's bathrooms. Men just simply don't need to do all of that. This is stranger-danger rhetoric which is based around this fear of "oh, strangers are the most dangerous thing to your child or to you" when it's statistically not true. Abusers are more likely to be people that you already know, which is bleak, I'm sorry, but that is the truth. Abusive men simply don't need to go to that effort.

Trans women are our sisters, they're our allies, and a world where a trans women is free and safe to express herself and her gender presentation as she wants to is a world where all women get to do that.

No, no, that's my hyperfixation in-law twice removed on my mutuals side.

yes hello i would like to emphasize this

disgust is not a moral issue

when i was 13, i was in an area of new orleans at the same time as a kink pride event. At the time i was there on a church trip and we just so happened to go at the same time as the kinksters. Honestly at the time i didnt even realise it was kink i just figured it was some sort of goth thing. i saw dudes in dog hoods and stuff, but none of it scared me i dont think. I just figured they were edgy performers.

Did this remind anyone else of the opening sequence in Goncharov (1973)?

Good luck, ausies. May your election season be less nightmarish.

Let's not forget the important things though.

Going back to sleep is so powerful im a huge fan of going back to sleep

Not to be a Boomer but your social media should be your own space, not something employers are allowed to look at to judge you beyond the qualifications stated in your resume and cover letter

The other day my work had us take a social media survey about what social media platforms we’d be comfortable posting about our products on and I selected “I don’t use social media” before immediately coming over to Tumblr to dunk on them

"Good Boy."

oh im gonna be weird about this for so long

obsessed with the way my robotics team lead talks
