Look. I hate to say it, but…
If you want to gauge how bad xenophobia and nationalism are,watch antisemitism. We’ve always been the canaries in this particular coal mine.
In England, particularly, antisemitic attacks increased by 60% last year. And that’s in London. People who bet that Labour would stop this…look at the crisis they’ve been having, and Corbyn’s been making worse rather than helping.
This sucks, especially for the people in Scotland and Northern Ireland, who don’t want to go, and the people of London who also voted to remain (as well as a couple of other cities)…but, to me at least, it’s not the big surprise that it is to everyone else. For the same reasons that I worry about Trump or LePen, and many other right wing, xenophobic, demagogues. If you want to know how strong they are, look at how bad things are for Jews, and particularly if they’re getting worse or better.

Important
I have reason to believe that someone is going around into other people’s accounts and sending them messages on IM with fake links.
This happened to me just now. I thought it was suspicious after seeing the tinyurl link, but I clicked it anyway and it brought me here:
Whatever you do, DO NOT LOG IN. Take a closer look at the URL at the top.
This is a scam. It’s a website made to look like tumblr’s home page, and it will steal your information and hack you right out of your account.
My guess is that this has already happened to tumblr user @turntableking and their account is being used to drag more people in.
Please be careful!
[[ omg I almost did this ]]
Reblogging again. @catzmir91 and @grenninja seem to have fallen victim as well.
SIGNAL BOOST
I JUST GOT THIS FROM TWO OF MY MUTUALS, IT IS REAL!!!!!!!!
SHOOT I LOGGED IN!! LUCKILY IT WAS ON MY OTHER OLD ACCOUNT!!
Seriously watch out…

Scientists just found a compound that kills 98% of a drug-resistant bacteria
Scientists just found a compound that kills 98% of a drug-resistant bacteria
Researchers have discovered a compound in an Antarctic sea sponge that’s capable of killing 98 percent of the drug-resistant superbug, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus – better known as MRSA – which is rapidly spreading throughout the US.
With more and more bacteria species becoming resistant to the antibiotics we have available, scientists are desperately looking for new ways to protect against infection, and early research suggests that the Antarctic sponge could be an option.
Staphylococcus aureus – or staph – infections are pretty common, particularly in hospital settings, and under normal circumstances they’re not particularly hard to treat. But MRSA is a strain that’s developed resistance to most of the antibiotics we have available, which means it can quickly spread from a superficial infection, such as a skin infection, to an invasive one, which can be life-threatening.
This is why you need to follow the directions and complete your course of antibiotics. And not take them for things that aren’t bacterial.

He was a young artist employed by the Disney studio, but tasked with the entry-level job of finishing off the work of the animators and crafting the “in-between” animations that completed the characters’ movements. Wong had learned that studio executives were creating a film from the new novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. Tom says the young artist read the book and without consulting his supervisor, “took the script and painted some visual concepts to set the mood, color and the design.”
His sketches recalled the lush mountain and forest scenes of Sung dynasty landscape paintings. His initiative paid off. Walt Disney, who was looking for something new for the film, was captivated and personally directed that Wong be promoted. Today, top animators and illustrators revere Wong’s work. Children today are as enchanted by the misty, lyrical brushstrokes of Wong’s colorful nature scenes, inspired by his training at Otis College of Art and self-study of Sung Dynasty art

When I am having a bad day, I like to think about deviant Klingons.
It is easy. First think of something cute or gentle. Then think if a Klingon whose love of that thing is their secret shame.
Adolescent Klingons getting caught looking at fluffy kitten photos online and their parents wonder where they went wrong.
Vegetarian Klingons carefully preparing a home cooked meal using vegetables they had to smuggle into their house so the neighbors wouldn’t know.
Klingons who go to secret clubs to engage in gentle, vanilla sex and/or cuddling.
Klingons who collect pacifist literature.
Klingons who just want to wear jewel tones.

I ACTUALLY KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS HAPPENED.
When typing up the instructions, the pharmacist or technician was probably using shorthand in the computer, which automatically translates into text a patient can understand. The shorthand for this would have originally been ‘2 pfs po q4h prn hs’, where ‘prn’ stands for ‘as needed’. And there was a typo, so ‘prn’ became ‘pr’, which stands for ‘per rectum’ (aka rectally). I’ve done this myself on accident with ‘diabetes’ (DIAB) and ‘diarrhea’ (DIA), as well as prn and pr.
…And that was your medical jargon lesson for the day, kiddies.
also, it is smol. it says so
