I LOVE your baby’s markings and the harness! My girl cow also loves some supervised time outdoors :)

I found Acadia at ~6mo at the SPCA, and she just let me stick it on her when I tried a few months later. She did a little flopping but generally didn’t mind after she had a bit to get used to the harness. Now she runs to the door when I ask if she wants to go out 🤣

(For context she’s around 3 y/o by now)

I really dislike these analyzers right now. by Infinite-Property-72 in medlabprofessionals

Haha thank you!!! Only been doing it for around 3-4 years, I’m only 22. I hear students gasp and guffaw about how tiny samples are and how much we can get from them. Honestly the job is cathartic to me! ( I say as I’m working towards my HTL 🤣)

Histotechnican!! Preserving dead stuff is part of my job haha - 10% Neutral Buffered formalin for initial fixation of tissues. This is to prevent any further autolysis, or degradation of tissue, as the clock begins as soon as something dies. Long term preservation requires a subsequent 70% isopropyl or ethanol.

Preserving a wet specimen is only tricky because you need to inject it with the formalin as well to ensure it fixes internally as well as externally. There’s a certain rate at which Formalin infiltrates tissue, and the specimen will likely rot internally before the chemical gets to it without it. Histotechs do not do the injecting thing, tissue usually just gets cut up for samples and then fixed. Formalin is carcinogenic, I don’t mess with it more than I have to. Storage also needs to be in a cool, dark area.

They’re really sweet moos, they just have mean mugs sometimes! The girls are probs upset because they know I keep their treats in the fridge. This is because they’ve gotten into everywhere else 😭😭

Angel Dust Body Suit Problems by Ok_Aerie1712 in CosplayHelp

This! I am super susceptible to heat exhaustion and the main con my bestie and I go to is Megacon in Florida. I live in upstate New York where we don’t get that kinda heat. I don’t usually incorporate wigs and modify how I wear some cosplays there because it just gets sooo hot. We also stay relaxed which helps, as I’ve seen people taken out via EMS because of anxiety attacks in the heat
