main characters + first and last scenes

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

Researchers consider the complexities of bioprinting multicellular tissues

3-D bioprinting is a highly-advanced manufacturing platform that allows for the printing of tissue, and eventually vital organs, from cells. This could open a new world of possibilities for the medical field, while directly benefiting patients who need replacement organs.

Instead of waiting for a suitable donor or having the risk of their body rejecting a transplanted organ, 3-D printed organs allow patients to have a customised organ fabricated specifically to replace their faulty ones. However, even with headway that 3-D bioprinting has made in the last two decades, it is still lacking significant strides in order to produce complex 3-D biomimetic tissue constructs.

According to researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Asia University, tissue culture techniques in particular require accelerated progress to address the bottleneck of maturing bioprinted multicellular 3-D tissue constructs into functional tissues. Their research paper, titled “Print me an organ! Why are we not there yet?” has been published in the Progress in Polymer Science.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

There are a lot of absolute idiots in the comments saying things like “a good dog will never hurt a baby” and “the child is never to blame if the dog attacks” and “special snowflakes call everything abuse”

Listen here you fucktards: dogs. Are not. Fucking. People. They don’t operate by human logic. They don’t follow human moral codes. It has nothing to do with it being a “good dog“ or not. If you were getting hit and pulled on and punched and scratched constantly, you just might react. A dog can’t speak up and say “hey please stop that you’re hurting me“. What he can do is move, lunge, bite, etc. These actions might intentionally or unintentionally harm your child. Use your fucking head and don’t let your kid beat up on your dog no matter how many times he’s “taken it” before; you never know when he might snap. Don’t teach your kids it’s OK to treat animals like punching bags and they’ll never react. That’s immensely unfair to both the animal and the child. You could have a hurt or dead child and a euthanized dog because you were fucking dumbass who thought the dogs were just there to be treated like toys.

Same goes for cats and any other pet. Teach your child how to properly treat animals or don’t have any fucking animals.

Types of biologists

Zoologist - a huge ass nerd who wanted to learn about mammals but now is in absolute ecstasy when seeing a worm

Microbiologist - haven't seen sunlight in 4 years, resistant to bad smells, despises being outside

Botanist - secretly waits for you to ask them about what's that plant, lives through the herb life aesthetics

Plant physiologist - is tired from telling everyone they're not a botanist, neglected lab child no one wants to accept into the lab community

Ecologist - just wanted to be in the nature and now is crying over their statistical analysis

Physiologist - wants to recruit you for their research, bitches about hormones

Hydrobiologist - just chilling, sometimes goes on boat trips

Molecular biologist - puts different liquids in centrifuge for 5 hours and drinks coffee at that time and does it every day

Toxicologist - tells everyone they can poison you but really just finds out different ways how plastic is going to kill us all

Neuroscientist - that one girl you knew in highschool who was very quiet but now is still quiet runs a studyblr and posts anatomical drawings of brains

Forensic scientist - huge fan of Stephen King, still kind of questioning their life choices

Biotechnologist - the corporate scientist, we don't talk about them in here

Bioinformatician - can tell you about your dna and code a program for you

Geneticist - exactly what you would expect from people who started out with a dude looking at peas for a long time, in hate/love long term relationship with gel electrophoresis

Biochemist - laughs about inorganic chemists, ignores lab safety while working with concentrated acids of pH 2

[Insert overly specific field] scientist - bitching about how no one ever knows the thing they're studying

“When the master faces external difficulties, he seeks a way to get through them inwardly, rather than externally. In short, he readies his mind to withstand the shock. No, let me restate that. Without rushing to ready itself, his mind is always positioned, so that his inner self will not be disturbed. He has already prepared his mind so that no matter the misery or the fate, he could still be happy. Therefore, he has no need to seek a solution in the external world. His corporeal defenselessness, which appears so precarious, actually has little effect on his spirit.”

tag yourself

flower dew - gentle blush, soft sweaters, pastel coffee mug, studio ghibli, vintage mirrors, swans on a lake, collecting little mementos from adventures and golden days, bubble tea and washi tape

forest snow - the smell of books, handstitched scarves and winter coats, passion for knowledge, gentle soul, always thinking about challenging questions, more introverted than they seem

misty dawns - feeling lost but going with the motions, dreams of becoming their best self but don’t know how, finding new places to escape from reality, lives for the small things, oversized jumpers

rainy evenings - soft radios, watching blurred outlines of people from a rain spilled window, lying in bed thinking about everything and nothing, loneliness but also somewhat content in isolation

sunset breezes - eating fruits on the balcony, living by the ocean, roses in their hair, hopeless romantic, collector of pretty words and thoughts, rose-coloured glasses and soft ripples on the water

daisy fields - alternative music, sunflower paintings, drawing flowers on someone’s arm, striped socks, peaches and granola, fuzzy sweaters, embroidered roses, glitter on their skin, scribbles in notebooks

storm clouds - evening drives, walking alone, living for the thrill, 2am calls, leather jackets, listening to the same song on repeat because it brings someone closer to you, soft heart full of love but a bit broken
