على طاري حالة الطقس هذا شكل الأعاصير القوية من الفضاء






i am a scientist. i believe in physics more than i believe in anything on earth. that said, i think people who believe in zodiac signs are less insane than the ones who follow MBTI religiously. and they’re definitely more sane than the idiots who think ur personality is predetermined by “personality genes.” space eugenics is actually better than eugenics eugenics. i have some REALLY stupid opinions about astrology. first — i find it hilarious that people look at you sideways for even considering it as an intellectual discussion. it just shows they judge you for having a thought. second — i believe in neurodevelopment. when i was in 1st grade i learned i’m a “gemini” and that makes me intellectual and talkative. i learned this from a scrapbook. i barely knew what gravity is. i accepted a deterministic trope for myself while i was still growing neurodevelopmentally. it is wild to think that didn’t shape how i learned to behave and see myself. astrology doesn’t work because the stars are talking to you. it works because you listened. and listening to that as a six year old is still better than whatever the fuck ur mbti type is. at least U had the excuse of being six.



I keep coming back to these photos of hypothyroid recovery patients because they never cease to amaze me. Note the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides resulting in water retention/edema & decreased lymphatic drainage. It’s very common nowadays to see people walking around who are beginning to develop this “swollen” appearance. Many of the results shown (improved metabolism, hair regrowth, decreased swelling, clearer skin) were obtained with natural desiccated thyroid, which has a T4:T3 ratio of about 4:1. The quality of NDT supplements seems a lot more variable these days. The woman in the first photo achieved results with T4 only, but as Dr Barnes notes, T4 can leave residual symptoms if a person’s liver is not in good enough shape to convert it into the active T3.


🚨 Scientists found a rare spider in Thailand that is half male and half female.




At the atomic level, nothing ever truly touches. What we feel as ‘touch’ is our brain interpreting electromagnetic repulsion. The object is real, the sensation is a constructed illusion.

التجارب السلوكية وضحت أن الدماغ يتخذ القرار قبل أن نشعر أننا اتخذناه،الإحساس بالاختيار الحر يأتي متأخر كتعليق صوتي.نعتقد أننا اخترنا هذا الطريق،هذا الرأي،هذا الشخص،بينما اللاوعي كان قد رجح الكفة بناء على تجارب سابقة، أنماط مكررة، ومشاعر لم ننتبه لها.«الوعي ليس قائدا بل ناطق رسمي»
