Serious talk: eye disorders like this are unfairly used to symbolize mental illness when creating characters that are meant to be 'derpy'. Terms for it: Strabismus, and Amblyopia.It's also something westerners adore, to the point where Pugs and Boston Terriers iconic for it. https://t.co/YzplbLASWq


My left eye got stuck once. It was absolutely painful.Eye disorders are something I know a lot about because it seems to be a way to gain insight into Multiple Sclerosis.https://t.co/1xowwllnnx https://t.co/AIsI3YJFxs


Whoopshttps://t.co/EQNK7ZMakO "Lol, you make it sound like I smelled bad before! 🤣"

"don't know who this person is, but they drew Yoshis" https://t.co/5piI7xMAUi

"Sunfish are so weird looking."https://t.co/Y4UDPeHDLt

I don't remember talking to her about trolly problems, but she sent me this with no comment. She is learning twitter quite fast.https://t.co/hVOClKIAaY

She found the robot accounts. Asked me how to make one of these.https://t.co/qx7Rnof3ig

I heard giggling & Mario Paint music from the other room.https://t.co/t8357WtpoB

Forgot to add the quoted tweet into this thread, but technically she sent me that weird thing about bird zombies and boobs.https://t.co/XGJ5frLopz

"Scientists call it torpor. It happens when an animal slows its body functions to conserve energy and heat. The bird’s heart rate will slow; so does its breathing and body temperature."https://t.co/yuUxxeLVPzTIL birds can survive drowning via this mechanism. Also boobs. https://t.co/nUwCcRVvgZ

This was technically a YouTube video.She insists that this is fish poop.https://t.co/BDZzVknl8I https://t.co/TdFESlexnV


This shows up and then she came and hugged me.https://t.co/1QEdKy4EjR

"oh no! poor hammy"https://t.co/HQv9JdVvKW

"Don't know what's happening in the second picture. Cutting out the middle man?"https://t.co/m22Y61PFd7

My GF is now describing to me about how the dog's butthole winks whilst barking at the mailman. I'm not sure about her anymore. :Phttps://t.co/cG6bA9UyFY

I asked why she would even look for that. She started talking about shaving "crop circles".I am now glad that I've never had to take care of a long-haired dog, or deal with*checks notes*Canine "poop butt". https://t.co/4t0AZDSsLN

"Pumpkin Poop'n Dog"https://t.co/OlwofGEOLz

New RabbitDuck just dropped.https://t.co/QjtvxEAlx9

The ones that don't have a comment are the best.https://t.co/GM5iMy4Sfc

I just realized that the tiny pumpkins in the yard from a couple of years ago coincided with feeding the dog pumpkin based dog food. Dog babies!https://t.co/M2bCjAWRbOhttps://t.co/i1nb60Ms0h

"Did you see the thing I sent? Fart runes!"Fretrúnir 😅https://t.co/9O4Hh6SxcJ

GF sends me a tweet, and I turn around and make her laugh."Excuse me mam, I gotta see a Seiðr about a runestone carved in porcelain." https://t.co/88EOsUUcRRA joke about rune'ing a toilet. (rune sound like ruin)https://t.co/yxfqZ3YjVb


Talking to GF about possibility of using virus to fuse or unfuse chromosomes so that we can cross breed her dog with a fox. She sends me this.https://t.co/Go66Vg4icq

She sends me that I like. She knows I love humming birds so I got sent this.https://t.co/E8BmFvaCf3

She's also really good at spotting neat medical things.Like I learned that early cupping therapy was done with horns. https://t.co/Q6nGWrWMKi https://t.co/R9efjAvHTy

I spent like 10 minutes talking about how the 2021 Nobel prize in medicine https://t.co/8KjzgraJVS probably never thought to relate cupping therapy to TRP receptor's role in immune function and blood purification.It's a fascination of mine.https://t.co/JM5dxZFM5e

@__________ur0 @dvdhhhh @nosilverv But if this the case, I expect people in ancient times to be using stuff that boost those pathways to enhance healing. Still digging into the terpene profile of medical herbs. I did find pinene (tar water?) enhances bloodflow and might work to enhance it.https://t.co/Vc3rgY9Yqd

The thing that caught her eye was the mugwort.Though looking at the video deeper, that may have been immaterial to the actual point of it (the guy normally uses just cotton & more simple processes from the other videos on his tiktok.) https://t.co/3xuRtwtIs7

Mugwort is still really cool though. The point of using it like he did may be to highlight a 'useless' behavior. https://t.co/h47zElmkqT(also, we both love learning from people in the comments!)https://t.co/SzbKyu6ZfA

I recognize mugwort because 'Artemisia vulgaris' is what my avatar is. A vulgar bear. https://t.co/eiq5NzyUnN

The bear has a power button where her third eye lives.https://t.co/FPxQmLPEEM

If you're into herbal medicine stuff, the TRP receptors correspond to roughly to saturn/venus + heat/cold ideas related to blood flow. These activate smooth muscle tissue in the blood vessels as well as in stuff like eyes, brain, uterus, and intestine.https://t.co/GIle11lC2E

There may be layers of metaphor in that video. TO use mugwort uselessly is perhaps saying "this is without wisdom" or "this is foolish". He's literally cutting a plant that brings wisdom for no purpose. https://t.co/5WNedsus8Y

I flirt with my girlfriend by talking about rue. Get on my level.https://t.co/2zGSQ2u9cI

Rue is used to stop a heart from beating fast https://t.co/0gG9IkycnqThis is clearly a creative way to hint that you wanna bang the girl so hard you get a pounding heart and will need medicine for it.In context where medical herbs were common knowledge, this is really kinky. https://t.co/doXdKb1sWB

I am nothing without my girlfriend and all the other people in my life who have helped me along the path I've been on. I see myself as merely a conduit for the wisdom of others. https://t.co/enFcSElhfA

I sent this to GF, and she literally had it up on her twitter cuz she was going to send it to me!https://t.co/XkxQzlscFg

"So Lanky :O"https://t.co/5IhKFZGwC8

"I don't know why butts amuse me. Animals doing butt stuff is funny... no not that kind of butt stuff. nooooo don't write that on twitter. 😂"https://t.co/nYHFxwx7tc

She can't stop laughing now. "my cheeks hurt. I think I inhaled something."And then I remember that this is an inside joke https://t.co/rzenW5vnJX

I was shown this and the first thing I thought was "oh wow, I didn't know they pant like dogs" and then the second thing I said outloud was "I wonder if they can't sweat", followed by "I wonder what bear sweat taste like."https://t.co/Rq8ZCjtD0Y

'it looks so soft! OMG'https://t.co/8RcUlsk6Lc

Today we are learning bout bunnies it seems.Like, earlier today we learned that Visacha is and Chinchilla are related, and apparently the tail of a bunny is like a hidden version of theirs.https://t.co/cI4UXycR7m

Capy Bara : Patagonian mara:: Vicacha : Woodchuck:: Chinchilla : Squirrel:: Degu : Chipmunk:: Jackrabbit : Bunnyhttps://t.co/rt94GA2zaj

GF sent cuz this reminded her of me.https://t.co/UfAulPY55D

Whispering to her "you're next cutie" after kissing her.https://t.co/OBABuP1OMM

Not exactly twitter, but GF has been sharing with me fun foraging videos by @blackforager and we enjoy them quite a bit. I found their twitter.GF just said there was a comic about it in NPR!https://t.co/cWFl5Lam0v

Also the NPR interview itself was pretty good.https://t.co/0LUnQnsewc

"A gift from youtube"https://t.co/1tUGx8q55b

I forgot to share this weird website with doll sized props, stuff like cigarettes, condoms, pregnancy tests, and those trendy anime boob mousepads.https://t.co/nhlfkZ26cFThinking about applications in the context of fairy gardens and dapper bees.https://t.co/SREzhAOUBy

I think I could get a shot of a real bee with a real tiny top-hat.Would require a 3d printer to mount a hat above a one of those "buzz pollination" style flowers and then setting up a motion sensitive camera.Sadly all the local flowers have been pollinated already this year.

The website is hard to use and won't let me link to specific items, but you can see a bunch under the "Props> Others" section https://t.co/M3sKtG4iUF


"They're just so weird"https://t.co/O1rQDzmugN

GF found an article talking about strange parallels between Lain and Utena.https://t.co/X1V5BFN40q

Talking with her about @mold_time's ideas. Was wondering if we can mix Kefir with Blackstrap on top of it to maximize mineral intake.She sends me this today. Reads my mind!"Potatoes and Molasses"https://t.co/9PEYxEdWRq

"They're lower on the glycemic index than conventional sweeteners, which means they won't spike your blood sugar as much. This makes blackstrap molasses a great alternative for people working to maintain healthy blood sugar levels" https://t.co/8AcBkYTUfJhttps://t.co/qspHP6eSyQ

Hmm. The state of California says my blackstrap cause cancer.Well well well..."Moreover, we can assume that eating [Acrylamide]-containing products with a properly functioning microbiota will be less harmful to human organs than previously thought. "https://t.co/hpjNT7wKI4

GF showed me a lowland streaked tenrec cuz she knows I am interested in hedgehogs.it vibrates a section of it's rear end... and sounds like electrical sparks!https://t.co/SbbakjQ9L2
