As David Cameron steps down, it’s time to celebrate his legacy.

You don’t need a gun to kill someone when you can simply deny them the resources they need to live.
There’s two issues here….
On one hand, there’s thousands of terminally ill people who were nevertheless determined to be “Fit for work” by a brief interview with a “medically trained” professional - not medically QUALIFIED. But, these were people who were in their last days, and the FUCKING AWFUL admin system meant their deaths were stressful, unsure, confused, and far less peaceful than they should have been.
Then, on the other hand…
There’s all the people whose health problems were NOT TERMINAL. All the people who, with the RIGHT help and treatment, could have gone on to many more years happy lives - but the system served them so badly that they died. Some of those people were disabled and through the system of admin, hoops to jump through without a safety net, gross negligence, died. And some of them were people with mental health problems, and the condemnation and incredible stress of ATOS drove them to take their own lives.
There’s the people who were dying and yet expected to go find a new job. There’s the people who, had the state supported them, would still be with us and living their lives to the full.
Can confirm ATOS is terrible. They said I was fit for work because I could carry a bag. They say they take into account the fact that some illnesses vary wildly on a day to day basis but they don’t. They ask you about a typical day and judge from that your ability to do basic tasks. The whole system is awful and needs to be changed.

i’ve seen a lot of LGBTQ+ people & allies understating just how dangerous trump/pence in the white house would be for LGBTQ+ people. read through this thread, be informed on their policies, & remember your LGBTQ+ friends/family when you vote. (also, for those suggesting a third party candidate, watch this) (thanks to raymond braun for this comprehensive thread)
signal boost the FUCK out of this
This is terrifying.

Vampires don’t like sunlight but moonlight is actually also sunlight
Tell that to the werewolves.
Does this mean that, with the right set-up, you could make light sources which mimicked moonlight accurately enough that it sets off someone’s lycanthropy? I’m not sure what such a device would be useful for, but it’d be neat nonetheless.
this is amazing thank you
Moonlight is only about 14% reflected sunlight, with a different spectrum (some wavelengths gets more absorbed than others, some more reflected, etc). If the two spectra of moonlight and sunlight were compared side-by-side with no mention of their origin, they basically appear as two completely different light sources, one peaking at the yellow wavelengths and the other peaking at the blue-green wavelengths.
To summarize; moonlight is not sunlight, it is reflected sunlight with a lot of its information lost or altered.
Actually no! I just heard a bit on NPR about this two days ago :3
The Moon is slowly drifting away, but it’ll eventually reach a static orbit and stop; it’s not going to fly off into space. What will happen though is kinda weird. When the Moon stops drifting away, the Earth-Moon system will become tidally locked. After that point, only one side of the Earth will ever face the Moon again. So it won’t be that lycanthropy will disappear forever; it’ll just only happen on half of the Earth :] :] :]
That raises another question though; will having the full moon always out, even during the day, mean that lycanthropes will always be shifted, or will the direct light of the sun overpower its effects during the day :?
HOLYSHIT, TIDALLY-LOCKED LYCANTHROPY PLANET
THIS IS THE BEST HIGH FANTASY KINGDOM DIVISION IMAGINABLE
THE KING OF ALL WOLVES!!!! A BORDER WITH BORDER CONFLICTS AND ROGUES WITH DUAL IDENTITIES!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHThe moon is drifting away because it’s ashamed to be seen with us.
I love how science!tumblr and fiction!tumblr enable each other.
I’m just struggling with the ethical ramifications of a device that would deliberately trigger lycanthropy. Imagine that being used to hunt down and jail or torture suspected lycanthropes?
@thebibliosphere - in case you need some werewolf science
I will always need werewolf science.
