Scientists Just Discovered a Brand New Part of Sperm That Could Explain Infertility

mindblowingscience:

Sperm has been having a tough time lately. The concentration per ejaculate is getting lower, scientists have created an artificial version that could one day replace it, and to make matters worse, common household products might affect the quality of the little guys.

Unfortunately this new study just adds to the bad news, discovering a completely new sperm structure, which may be partially responsible for everything from infertility to miscarriages and birth defects.

Scientists Just Discovered a Brand New Part of Sperm That Could Explain Infertility

In Scandinavian mythology there’s only one person who can beat the god Thor in a wrestling match: the elderly woman Elle.

When Thor was asked to wrestle her he laughed, thinking it would be the easiest win of his life, but he had to admit defeat within minutes because Elle is no ordinary old lady. She is the personification of aging itself, and no one can beat age.

She is the symbol of aging and badass grandmas.

The ship name for Cable/Deadpool, Cablepool, actually comes from the comics. It’s a persona Deadpool takes on for a short period because Cable is unavailable. It looks like a mix of the two characters and I tried taking inspiration from it for this.

Mind you, Cable and Deadpool can actually fuse into one person, though not in a pretty Steven Universe kind of way. They turn into a nightmarish mesh of struggling limbs, all because Deadpool once turned into a liquid and Cable drank him on purpose, mixing their DNA. Comics are weird, okay? Don’t even get me started on the time Cable was turned into a baby and Deadpool had to raise him, or when Cable turned completely metal in an alternative universe and had weird implied tentacle sex with a super emotional Deadpool. I read thought that whole thing and their story is long and complicated.

It’s no wonder that they couldn’t keep Deadpool’s and Cable’s romance a secret forever and eventually Reilly Brown (The artist for the later run of Cable & Deadpool and Split Second) just came out and confirmed it. A man can only keep an open secret like that for so long.

Attention SU fandom,

Former storyboarder and artist on the Crewniverse Jesse Zuke (Formerly known as Lauren Zuke when with the Crew) is currently facing severe financial troubles due to them not being able to work as an animator anymore due to serious mental ailments. They are currently facing eviction from the apartment at the risk of being homeless and without a job. Luckily, their gofundme page has already raised enough money to pay off one month. However, almost the entire fandom still is not aware of Zuke’s current situation. Let’s give them all the support and spread the awareness!

Here is their gofundme page:

Here is their thank you video after reaching the gofundme goal:

I could say a lot of things right now but in the end, this is just really fucking important.

The fandom should be ashamed of what they did to Zuke, regardless of your personal feelings towards their opinions and work they did not deserve what happened to them.

So maybe give back a little/share if you can, because we owe a lot of what Lapis, Peridot and just the show in general are today to them.

The way that certain parts of this fandom treated Zuke is one of the most shameful and disgusting things that I’ve seen in 17+ years of participating in online fandoms.

Please, go and help them out if you can (or signal boost this if you’re not able to donate); let’s show some much-deserved love to this wonderful person.

I literally have no idea what happened because apparently i kept myself out of the toxic side of the SU fandom, but I’m gonna signal boost this tonight and tomorrow.  No one deserves this kind of mess.
