You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

no artist can ever make anything as relatable as edward gorey drawing a shrewd little man looking out upon a barren ass landscape & the only caption he chose to describe this intensely bizarre scene is “hoo.”

The thing i love the most about shows with second hand embarrassment kind of humor, like the office, the rehersal or nathan for you, is that, apart from finding them hilarious, they help deal with uncomfortable and embarrassing situations in my daily life, like If I trip down the street while listening to music and people are watching or if some weird guy shouts something inappropriate at me in the metro, im just like, “this is reality tv they are filming me and watching this must be so funny”, so i’ll just laugh at everything

As a med student i have met women like Dr Mckay and women like Dr Shamsi and many in between, and you learn way more from the first ones

okay but javadi and mckay are so important. mckay is exactly what dr. shamsi doesn’t want javadi to be, but she’s also the woman the javadi finds comfort in during her shift. javadi gets more confident because she’s being watched over by mckay.

like imagine her actually babysitting harrison. the only hard rule is that harrison can’t do anything stupid enough to end up in the hospital but other than that, “there’s a 20 on the counter for a pizza, knock yourselves out.” in comparison to victoria’s mom not even trusting her enough to watch her cousins at family gatherings.

mckay trusts in victoria’s intelligence and it’s that trust that allows her to teach and guide her. i want them to have a cute sisterly relationship

it's encouraging to be around people who imagine a bigger life for themselves, whose only desire is to collaborate harmoniously with others, see opportunity instead of obstacle, people who remind you that life is about seeing how far you can go and how much fun you can have...real life enjoyers
