sufjan stevens’s “piss poems” were discovered and posted on tiktok recently by @/greenwitchwh0re this was a collection of poems he wrote in college surrounding his pissadventures

If you’re emotionally stunted and lost years of your life to your neuroses you will be teenage in appearance forever as god’s apology

Again, the greatest form of love is consideration.

感情を揺さぶるようなダフの音の洪水にカマンチェ(ケメンチェ)の弦のメロディーが草原を切るように駆け抜ける一体感が素晴らしい、イランの女性演奏家たちのモジャンバンドを紹介します↓

The battery in your phone exists because a physicist in 1799 tried to copy a fish. That fish was the electric eel, and 80% of its body is a living power source. An electric eel is not an eel. It is a knifefish, closer to catfish than to any real eel. And its body is built backward. All the normal organs (heart, stomach, brain) are crammed into the front 20%, right behind its head. The remaining 80% is the electric organ. It has three separate electric organs, each doing a different job. Two of them produce high-voltage shocks for hunting and scaring off predators. The third one puts out weak 10-volt pulses that work like built-in sonar. The eel has awful eyesight and lives in dark, muddy Amazon rivers, so it uses those pulses to "see" by sensing how the electrical field bends around nearby objects. The cells that make all of this happen are called electrocytes, tiny disc-shaped muscle cells that gave up the ability to flex and instead learned to produce a small electrical charge. Each one makes about 0.15 volts on its own. But a full-grown eel stacks around 6,000 of these cells end to end in a single column, with roughly 35 columns running side by side on each half of its body. The voltages add up. Same principle as stacking batteries in a flashlight. Until 2019, scientists thought there was only one species of electric eel. Then a team, including researchers from the Smithsonian, found there were actually three. The strongest one, Electrophorus voltai, was measured at 860 volts. Roughly seven times what comes out of a US wall socket. Kenneth Catania, a biologist at Vanderbilt, published a paper in Science in 2014 after years of studying how eels use all that voltage. He found that the eel's high-voltage attack works almost identically to a Taser (the stun device law enforcement uses). A Taser fires 19 high-voltage pulses per second to override the nerves controlling your muscles, forcing your whole body to seize up involuntarily. The eel fires 400 pulses per second. Twenty-one times faster. It can freeze a fish solid in 3 milliseconds without even touching it. Catania also discovered the eel has a second trick: it sends paired electrical pulses that force hidden fish to twitch against their will, creating a tiny ripple that gives away their hiding spot. The connection to the battery in your phone is not a metaphor. In the late 1790s, an Italian physicist named Alessandro Volta noticed the stacked-cell structure in electric fish and tried to replicate it with alternating discs of zinc and copper separated by cardboard soaked in salt water. It worked. He built the first battery ever made in 1799 and called it an "artificial electric organ." The unit we call the "volt" is named after him. The strongest eel species, found 220 years later, was named Electrophorus voltai in his honor, closing a loop that started when a fish taught a physicist how to store electricity.

Chia seeds make your stomach flat, but not for the reason you think. Most people assume it’s the fiber. They’re half right. Yes, chia seeds are loaded with fiber at about 10g per ounce. But fiber alone isn’t what’s flattening your stomach. Chia seeds absorb up to 12x their weight in water and form a thick gel in your digestive tract. That gel slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, which keeps insulin low. Higher insulin levels can lead to increased fat gain especially visceral fat around your organs. On top of that, the gel physically expands in your stomach and sends satiety signals to your brain before you’ve overeaten. You eat less without trying. Gut inflammation is a hidden driver of bloating. Omega-3s in chia seeds reduce that. So it’s not just fiber. It’s insulin, satiety, and anti-inflammation all working against together. Add a tablespoon to water, a smoothie, or, my personal favorite, Greek Yogurt and your stomach will thank you.

Christians and all Christian monuments (as well as Jewish ones) survived 1200 years of Muslim rule in Palestine. In less than 80 years of jewish supremacist power, Christians have been driven out and churches across the land are being destroyed, along with Christian archeological finds. This does not include the daily harassment of Christians, the spitting on clerics, and so on.

When a Deer asked Imam al-Reza (as) for Help… Once Imam (AS) was passing by through wilderness when a deer, which was being followed by a hunter came running to Imam (AS) and said something to him. Indeed a divine Imam (AS) understands and speaks all the languages including that of the birds and animals. Imam Baqir (AS) has said, “We have been taught the language of the birds and we have been given of everything”. As soon as the deer spoke to Imam (AS), Imam (AS) interrupted the hunter and said, “The deer has requested that it be spared for the time being as it had to go and feed her two kids. She has promised to return to the same spot and then you can kill her and sell her flesh”. The hunter was puzzled and asked, “How can you understand its language and what’s the guarantee that the deer will return?” Imam (AS) said, “I will give the guarantee and I will stand at the spot until it returns”. The hunter let the deer go and meanwhile, many people gathered around to see the spectacle. After feeding its two kids, the deer returned and stood at the same spot. It also asked the Imam (AS) to take care of her two kids and that she was ready to be killed. People were amazed by this miracle. Even the hunter gave up the idea of killing that deer and this started off the tradition of Imam-e-Zamin, which means ‘the Imam who guards’.

Iran Air couldn't get fuel in most of European airports "due to sanctions" so we had to choose more expensive flights with layovers in Turkey or Persian Gulf statelets rather than flying directly to Iran and back. No one cares about sanctions until they hit them in the face.

even the jinn are eager to return to al-Aqsa Mosque to pray

Never chase money if you have: -> Ketu in the 1st or 2nd house -> Ketu conjunct Jupiter -> Ketu transiting your 1st house -> Active Ketu dasha or antardasha Ketu is the planet of detachment, past lives, and spiritual liberation. When Ketu influences your wealth houses, it creates a paradox - the harder you chase money, the faster it runs from you. But the moment you detach from the outcome and focus purely on your craft, your purpose, your dharma, money starts showing up from unexpected sources. This is how Ketu's energy actually works in practice. Ketu denies you wealth born of desperation. Surrender the attachment, do the work, and let the results come to you. The ones who understand this become wealthy with less efforts

This is why when you feel like someone doesn't like you, you're not tripping. When you feel someone's love, it's evident.

“0’ Lord of Powers, Be with Us” in Arabic Orthodox Christian Chanter Ribale Wehbe, from Lebanon 🇱🇧 📿

Imam al-Shafi‘i said: “I accompanied the Sufis and gained nothing from them except two sayings. One of them was: ‘Time is like a sword—if you do not cut it, it will cut you.’ The other was: ‘Your soul, if you do not occupy it with the truth, will occupy you with falsehood.’”

The Israeli/US murder of Kharazi at his house along with his wife was truly despicable act—killing a reformist diplomat who served an FM for Khatami and helped develop his “Concert of Civilizations” idea and was reportedly helping mediate the current situation.

Asking Questions will set you free. There is a reason why our Scriptures have someone asking the question and getting answers. Gita, Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, Yoga Vashistha are some examples. When you ask questions you strengthen your Mercury and the answer received is the Guru tatva - Akash - God element. Whenever you get stuck in life and come out with a clear mind and answer- you have been blessed by divinity. Don't just sit in front of God - Ask questions. You will not be disappointed.

Indian historic period film costumes can't be like this anymore because the actor wearing them would be slutshamed whereas this was literally the clothing at the time

If you’re wondering how intense the bombing in Beirut was yesterday, then you need to watch this video. It documents the bombardment around the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, near my family’s home in Nov 2023. This is what we call a “fire belt,” in Arabic, meaning relentless, consecutive strikes that feel like hell itself. I lived through this many times in Gaza before we left for Egypt. It feels like the end of the world, as if you’re standing in flames from every direction, with no escape and no way out. Don’t look away from this video. #Gaza #Lebanon #Beirut #Israël #Israel
