Remember that you are your mother's daughter
your grandmother's answered prayers
a whole bloodline of women who bend
in response to raging winds..

...you were born for this sort of heavy lifting
you were born one part saint
one part warrior woman

The platypus is definitely one of the weirdest creatures on this planet, it’s just several animals stitched into one😭

It looks like God had leftover duck, beaver, and otter parts and just created something so not to waste materials😭.

It is a mammal that lays eggs, which already makes no sense. It is venomous, which is extremely rare for a mammal, and the venom comes from spurs on its hind legs.

It has no teeth so it scoops up rocks and uses them to grind its food.

It has no stomach either, food just goes straight from the esophagus to the intestine.

It has no nipples but still produces milk😭. The milk just seeps through its skin. It doesn’t nurse its young, it just leaks out milk and the babies lick it off the mother’s skin

When it dives underwater it goes completely blind, deaf and navigates using electroreception, so it can detect the electrical pulses generated by other creatures

crazy stuff😭🙏🏾

Can we all please wake up and realise that the falling birth rates are actually the CORRECT birth rates. More women are just finally having babies only when they want to, not when they are forced to.

Paper Pepper is a Korean papercraft artist who gave Van Gogh a makeover, fixed his ear, and proved Korean skincare is so good it can regrow body parts.

Not a filter. Not AI. Just paper, patience, and Seoul-level beauty standards.

I love science!

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

A virus that infects billions of people is being turned into a weapon against cancer.

Herpes simplex virus type 1, best known for causing cold sores, is now being genetically modified into a targeted cancer treatment. Instead of damaging healthy tissue, scientists are reprogramming it to seek out and eliminate tumour cells.

These modified viruses are known as oncolytic viruses. Once they enter a tumour, they multiply until the cancer cell ruptures, effectively destroying it from the inside.

But the process doesn’t stop there. When the cancer cells break apart, they release signals that activate the immune system. This helps the body start recognising cancer as a threat and attacking it throughout the body, including tumours the virus never directly reached.

Early clinical trials have shown encouraging results. In some patients with advanced cancers such as melanoma and other solid tumours, around one in four have responded to treatment. In certain studies, tumours have shrunk in about a third of patients, and in a smaller number of cases, the cancer has disappeared entirely. These results are particularly significant for people who had already exhausted standard treatment options.

Side effects have generally been mild to moderate, most commonly flu-like symptoms such as fatigue and fever. Larger phase 3 trials are now underway to better understand how effective and widely applicable the therapy may be.

Although still in its early stages, this approach represents a new direction in cancer treatment. A once-feared virus is being reshaped into a precise tool that helps the immune system do what it is designed to do.

Vegetables getting expensive during the rainy season, shocking, right? That’s what happens when all the focus is on smooth city roads while rural ones turn into mud. Farms are producing, but nothing can move. But sure, let’s keep acting surprised when prices rise. 🙃

Cults require too much ‘together’ time, and as a person who enjoys their solitude and not listening to a man speak for too long, I know I would be excommunicated within a week.

Side quest for next month (hope I remember)

Run into a restaurant and loudly ask, “Where am I? What time is it? What YEAR is this?!” When told the year, I’d fall on my knees and say “You have to vote him out! Terrible things happened in the future I came from.”

Guys. How are we not talking more about Paradise? It’s a Lost-style puzzle box of a sci-fi epic disguised as a post-apocalyptic survival drama that was only ever advertised as a political thriller murder mystery—that has a whole time travel arc we’ve barely touched. Just wow!😳🤯

All of that except for gun ranges

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

Never let anyone gaslight you into thinking intellectual mismatch is not a thing in romantic relationships. It's not even about formal degrees or booksmarts. It shows up in things like curiousity, conversational depth, imagination, openness, and worldviews.

It’s Friday the 13th and Mars is exactly aligned with the Pisces North Node today.

May you release the fears preventing you from going after your dreams.

And if your dreams don’t include the liberation of self and all oppressed peoples, may you have the courage to dream a new dream.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Nobody tells you this: 99% of a successful marriage is just genuinely enjoying each other’s company. People make these long lists of traits they want to find in a partner, but so much of life just comes down to being kind and pleasant to be around.

Shame deserves no shelter in your body. Deny it access to your dreams, your curiosity, your spirit. Refuse its attempts to make you smaller. Evict it completely. Do not let it make a home in you.
