It's the simplest bit of advice but it is hard to think of on your own, especially when you feel tired mentally.

Take socialising for example, the longer we put off seeing people (which can feel necessary at the time) - the harder it can become to re-adjust and tackle it. We build it up in our heads until the very idea is terrifying.

Try your best not to let things take control of you, and know that putting things off can be the only option, but it’s good to tackle the ‘avoided thing’ as soon as we possibly can.

Stay strong ghosties, you can do the thing.

This is horrible. Stay safe out there.

Are chicken eggs... one cell?

technically yes, but it's definitely not the "egg" you're thinking of!

see, what we call the chicken "egg" is really a type of very large extracellular structure: it's a wonder of engineering built BY cells, but it is not, in and of itself, a living thing.

no bird children were harmed in the production of this image.

however, if we zoom in on a fertilized egg a little bit....

see that weird little spot? that's the REAL chicken egg!

this spot, called the "germinal disk", IS actually made up of cells. it starts life as a single fertilized gamete cell, just like the one that made you!

at least no one ever called you a "germinal disk" before you had arms to slap them with.

this cell will use the energy stored in the egg structure to grow and divide and grow and divide until it forms a recognizable shape:

and WHAMMO.

so no, chicken eggs are NOT a single cell! but they do HOST the single cell that, given time and warmth, will eventually grow into a baby chicken.

buk buk buk :)

THIS

american directors do know that they don't have to put a sepia filter over every. fucking. scene. shot in India, right?

we don't live in this perpetually yellow world.

this weird depiction of India in Hollywood movies just takes me out of the whole experience of the movie because that is not how we live goddamit

not every place in India is a slum or has yellow buildings

we live normally just like any other country

We bake too.

The Salem Witch Trials inspired Alexander McQueen F/W 2007 (An ancestor of his was executed as a witch.) The models walked along a pentagram
