🌈 I made a thing

[ID: fabric in an embroidery hoop. The phrase “make queer spaces accessible” is embroidered in black. Below is the disability symbol (a simplified person in a wheelchair) but the wheel is a heart and the whole thing is rainbow.]

It’s a really good and important sentiment, but maybe starting making things like this actually accessible?

it is so strange to me when people tell me they never had an ancient egyptian phase…like, what did you even do during your childhood? 

this is oddly specific?? and over 3000 people relate???

That egyptology book was too golden and shiny to resist

that egyptology book really was too damn gold to resist like….i would’ve never passed an ancient test to check the purity of my heart, i absolutely would’ve taken anything shiny from the booby trapped rooms..

drained of blood, the heart is white

woah

No, that is NOT what this is. You’ve taken an amazing medical invention, a total game changer, and made up some stupid, faux-deep sentence fragment for it that is a complete falsehood. You should be embarrassed and ashamed, honestly.

This is a ghost heart. What they’ve done is taken a pig heart and stripped it down to, basically, a cell framework that they can use to BUILD A NEW HEART UPON. You could inject stem cells into this framework so that a newly formed personalized heart can be transplanted into a donor with a significantly reduced chance of rejection. FUCKING AMAZING. It’s not been done with human tissue yet, but the promise this given to people who need hearts – or kidneys or livers or whatever – is beautiful. Science is beautiful.

And it’s IMPERATIVE to mention that a woman, Doris Taylor, at the Texas Heart Institute developed this. And she started with a rat heart and worked up to he bigger, more complex (and more human) pig heart. What a total bad ass.

So look, quit making shit up, learn to do a reverse image search on stuff you find on the internet, and STOP ERASING WOMEN IN SCIENCE.

  • The corrected information
  • WOMEN IN SCIENCE
  • The fact that rejection rate would be LESS which is VITAL

To be honest ghost heart sounds way more badass then a drained heart
