An illustration by me, depicting 10 species of weevils, which are beetles with longer snouts. From top to bottom, right to left, we have a Blue Jewel weevil, a Boll weevil, a Filbert weevil, a Blue Leaf-Rolling weevil, a rainbow Jewel weevil, a Long-nose weevil, a Giraffe weevil with a long neck, a Clay-colored Billbug, a Rhubarb Curculio, and a Palmetto Weevil.ALT

Weevils! 🪲✨

Watercolor. Silent Hill illustration for PSM magazine. The game wasn’t out yet, so I was surprised I was able to hit the look without having seen it.

It makes me so, so angry when I see those posts that are like “HORRIFYING EARLY PLASTIC SURGERY RESULTS FROM WW2,” because all of those lists are full of images that aren’t the final result and are used for pure shock value. Harold Gillies, who performed most of those surgeries, was an incredibly talented surgeon. Here are some images of the full results of his surgeries.

I need to emphasize that I can’t post the “before” pictures that go with these because the men did not have faces. The injuries were so extensive that these men were missing nearly all of their facial features, and through cutting-edge techniques that “looked scary” at the time (e.g. extensive skin grafts), Gillies saved these men from a medical nightmare.

Gillies performed the world’s first ftm bottom surgery for trans man Michael Dillon and pioneered mtf bottom surgery! Respect his legacy.

slight correction: most of his work is from the wwi era, not wwii. most of these photos are dated 1918.

screenshot of tweet by Psychotherapy Action Network @PsiANorg [thread emoji] (1/6)  So, according the the FTC, BetterHelp:  1) Sold data about all LGBTQ users who looked into "Pride Counseling," teens who visited "Teen Counseling," Christians who visited "Faithful Counseling," & Spanish-speaking folks who visited "Terappeuta." (at least spell it right?)ALT
screenshot of next tweet. (2/6)  2) Uploaded the email address of all current and former users to Facebook to target them and their friends with BetterHelp ads  3) Falsely used the HIPAA logo to deceive patients that they met HIPAA requirements for privacy and confidentialityALT
screenshot of tweet 3. (3/6)  4) Sold to Snapchat the IP and email address of approximately 5.6 million former visitors of their site so Snapchat could show them more ads for BetterHelp  5) Sold user's email addresses to PinterestALT
screenshot of tweet 4. (4/6)   6) Sold to Facebook users' answer to the question "Have you been in counseling or therapy before?"  7) Lied about their promise that private info would be "kept strictly private" and "never shared, sold or disclosed to anyone."ALT
screenshot of tweets 5 and 6. (5/6)  8) "Use[d] this health information for advertising, BetterHelp has brought in hundreds of thousands of new Users, resulting in millions of dollars in additional revenue."  (6/6)  Leaving our most private and intimate personal details up to venture capital-led groups that privilege convenience over quality (or even the most basic prerequisite of therapy: privacy) is bad for everyone.ALT

Sourced report

Reminder that BetterHelp doesn’t give a fuck about their patients and is actually a fucking terrible way to get therapy.


Please find other alternatives for BH because they’re ATROCIOUS.

Some gay men really put 0 hours of work into unlearning their hatred of women’s bodies and anatomy it’s embarrassing. Like i’m super fucking sorry that you’ve got a pussy ick thing going on but i got over it after like one conversation with a friend and you’re 29 years old publicizing your pussy ick on twitter dot com dot gov posting about how super fucking hard it is that trans men are also in gay bars and that’s Not Valid because ewwww they have vacheena which is the opposite of gay eeewwwwwww! And you have to let everybody know that you’re gay not because you like men but because you hate pussy so much it makes you transphobic. Like how can you even continue to serve cunt in such a state

What more is there to say. Transphobic gay men could never serve cunt cause they hate pussy too much

i feel like this is very importantTM to say, you dont need to be an expert in your special interest

marine biology is my special interest. i suck at identifying fish. i can identify one fish but only because i spent ages fixating on it. i couldnt tell you the scientific name of anything else.

when i was in primary school most of my information came from the octonauts since i wasnt allowed the internet, it was still my special interest then even when i hardly knew anything.

having a special interest doesnt mean you immediately become amazing at whatever it is, and thats totally ok. its ok to forget things, to not know things, for other people to know more about the thing. thats part of the fun, theres so much about everything to learn and improve on.

in my personal case there are thousands of scientists who know more than me. i may know more than my friends, but im 17. there are scientists who study the ocean for a living and its perfectly reasonable for them to know more than me

the only thing that matters is that it gives you energy, that you enjoy doing it, that its special to you
