The goal is to crochet at least one of each Pokemon species! It’s a big project and I thought this would be a neat way to visualize my progress so far!
[image ID: Text reading Texas State Aquarium staff stated that the animals have been getting a little restless. One of the employees had an idea to let some of the land animals spend time with some of the sea animals, and it has worked out brilliantly.
Putting the sloths near the dolphins was the biggest surprise of all. The dolphins are absolutely delighted with the sloths, and the sloths, normally very quiet animals, have been squeaking replies back to the dolphins for hours at a time. Who would have guessed these two species would be such a great match?
There is a photo of two dolphins in a large pool, their heads peeking out above the water to look at a brown sloth, who is hanging on a branch. End ID]
As alien species encounters go, this is like the absolute best possible outcome
Okay but in the video the dolphins swim upside down like they’re imitating the sloth and it’s real cute.
THANK YOU FOR FINDING VIDEO! IDK WHY I DIDN’T THINK TO CHECK YOUTUBE! THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!
Here are even more animals visiting each others!!
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing this! This is so precious!!!
lmao all the animals are all like What, In the name of FUCK? Is THAT?
According to Mayo Clinic, many in the medical community suspected this phenomenon could be caused by a defect in the part of the brain that controls arousal from sleep and breathing. The theory was that if the infant stopped breathing during sleep, the defect would keep the child from startling or waking up.
The Sydney researchers were able to confirm this theory by analyzing dried blood samples taken from newborns who died from SIDS and other unknown causes. Each SIDS sample was then compared with blood taken from healthy babies. They found the activity of the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) was significantly lower in babies who died of SIDS compared to living infants and other non-SIDS infant deaths. BChE plays a major role in the brain’s arousal pathway, explaining why SIDS typically occurs during sleep.
…
As the cause is now known, researchers can turn their attention to a solution. In the next few years, those in the medical community who have studied SIDS will likely work on a screening test to identify babies who are at risk for SIDS and hopefully prevent it altogether.
;Synopsis: Jeon Jungkook is the best water magic user of his generation, so it made sense that he was given the prestigious posting as a royal bodyguard. His position puts him close to you, the Crown Princess of Sejong and the only ice magic user in history. Jungkook is great at protecting you from danger, but not so much at protecting his own heart.
;A/N: Who knows what this drabble is? Just randomly thought it up and threw it together lol
Good news, mythical purateens, old radical queers, and other pride discoursers! Literally everything you have asked for will be at Philly’s pride this year.
On Sunday, June 5th, there will be a march, not a parade
There will be a sober space for adults with a bar serving mocktails
Families and children will have a dedicated space with age-appropriate programming
A “Relaxation Zone,” a low-sensory space for elders, those living with disabilities, and anyone looking for a space for respite. The designated area will have comfortable seating, accessible bathrooms, and low acoustic music.
Philly police officers will not be within festival grounds
There will be social workers, mental health professionals, and people trained in de-escalation techniques on site.
“There may be certain things that are said or that people experience that could be a bit triggering,” said Carson, who is also a social worker. “So, in the interest of really being trauma-informed and trying to keep people safe … having those elements are really nice.”
“PHL Pride is led by Black, brown, and trans members of the LGBTQ+ community, who are collaborating with organizers from the Philly Dyke March.
The change in format from parade to march is also about “dissolving that line [between participant and spectator],” said Eric Schroeckenthaler, another PHL Pride Collective volunteer.
PHL Pride Collective was created after the previous Pride organization, Philly Pride Presents, dissolved in 2021. Philly Pride Presents faced criticism after posting transphobic and factually incorrect and pro-police history of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in a Facebook post.”
Previously, parents were told SIDS could be prevented if they took proper precautions: laying babies on their backs, not letting them overheat and keeping all toys and blankets out of the crib were a few of the most important preventative steps. So, when SIDS still occurred, parents were left with immense guilt, wondering if they could have prevented their baby’s death.
Dr. Carmel Harrington, the lead researcher for the study, was one of these parents. Her son unexpectedly and suddenly died as an infant 29 years ago. (…) Harrington explainedwhat she was told about the cause of her child’s death.
“Nobody could tell me. They just said it’s a tragedy. But it was a tragedy that didn’t sit well with my scientific brain.”
Since then, she’s worked to find the cause of SIDS, both for herself and for the medical community as a whole. She went on to explain why this discovery is so important for parents whose babies suffered from SIDS.
"These families can now live with the knowledge that this was not their fault,” she said.
(…) As the cause is now known, researchers can turn their attention to a solution. In the next few years, those in the medical community who have studied SIDS will likely work on a screening test to identify babies who are at risk for SIDS and hopefully prevent it altogether.
always thinking about the production of hamlet i saw at the pop up globe a couple of years ago where everyone was costumed in typical shakespearean dress and the set was fairly minimal BUT! they gave polonius an iphone. it was like a running gag that his ringtone kept going off when hamlet or claudius were trying to speak and they would get more and more impatient with him every time. the cast had perfect comedic timing and it was such a perfect modernisation of typical shakespeare humour
but oh my God. the nervous laughter that rippled through the audience when his phone went off behind the tapestry. the heavy silence that followed, interrupted only by the incessant chime of polonius’ ringtone and a muffled “shit, shit!” while he tried to decline the call. it keeps ringing even after hamlet has already put his sword through him. hamlet picks it up in his bloody hands and ends the call, puts it back in polonius’ grasp before turning back to face gertrude.
hands down the best set up and pay-off of any addition to a shakespeare play i have ever witnessed
