A good article about GM crops and their effects.
Hi there, I'm Carrie. Nice to meet you. I'm 21 and I go to Rutgers University. This blog is a huge of conglomerate of things I find relevant, cute animals, pictures I find pretty, songs I enjoy, and things I create. Pretty much it's anything going on in my head.

“People speak sometimes about the ‘bestial’ cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via likeafieldmouse)

I just got this sudden wave of feeling like a really shitty person…
I don’t want to interact with anyone today
I have never wanted an e-mail so badly in my life…
I jut sent an e-mail to someone who was offering an all expanses paid job for doing GIS in the Ecuadorian Rainforest. I actually meet all the qualifications and then some, since my current job is basically exactly what they want. I am so nervous and I keep checking my e-mail because I want an answer. I hope they e-mail me back and ask for my resume. Pleasepleaseplease.
Genetically Modified Berry compared to Organic Berry:
Note that the modified specimen is bloated to about 3 times the mass of the common berry. Advanced rot has set in prior to maturity and tests revealed 78% more lactic acid in the modified organism.
Upon contact with the modified berry, the picker’s hands exhibited a rash which is clearly visible on the fingers and should not be mistaken for juice stains acquired during picking. While the common berry, of course, has no ill effects on the skin, the modified organism had an effect similar to poison oak and swelling set in shortly after the photo was taken. The discoloration and pain lasted approximately 12 hours with treatment including Neosporin and Syrup of Ipecac.
At 16 hours the specimen went missing and could not be monitored for decay rates. While the common berry remained, the modified berry was spotted the next Tuesday at the corner of Wallace and 12th St. Having grown another meter and a half, the genetically modified berry murdered two prostitutes and became the target of a cross country manhunt. It was last seen on February 20th in Boulder, CO where it has joined with several bananas from the Monsanto corporation and stolen at least two shotguns from the Boulder Police Department.
A manifesto was released online suggesting that the berries intend to strike at our nurseries, killing our young and replacing them with further modified organisms which we will raise as our own. They also intend to “free their enslaved brothers” by treating common fruits and possibly vegetables with mutagens.
The head of the FDA could not be reached for comment as he has gone missing. Only a glass of unidentified red fluid was found in his office, labeled “Extra Pulp”.

I’m going to start doing some bat research in April and I am so excited!!
