Green Lake and its sister Round Lake, are a pair of unique bodies of water located in the aboriginal territory of the Onandoga nation. This writeup will concern itself with Green Lake, but much of this information carries over to its sister.
The final remnants of a plunge pool formed during the last ice age by a glacial waterfall at least twice the size of Niagara Falls; Green Lake is situated in a gorge and fed entirely by rain and groundwater. As a result, it is one of the few meromictic lakes on earth.
So, okay, in general terms, lakes do this:
For the warmer months water organizes into distinct layers, each circulating in their own way. The warmest water, being the least dense, sits at the top. This is where the phytoplankton hang out, producing oxygen and consuming nutrients. The coldest water, being the most dense, sits at the bottom. This is where nutrients tend to accumulate and oxygen gets depleted by animal life. As summer turns to winter the top layers get colder and the water mixes as stratification breaks down, the same happens as winter turns back to summer. This process helps more evenly distribute oxygen and nutrients.
Ok so Green Lake doesn't do this.
The bottom of the lake is totally devoid of oxygen, so no decomposition; whatever falls down there, stays down there. The water is also very high in mineral content, which leaves layers of calcite deposits on anything that isn't moving. Moreover there is a layer of bacterially active water around 18-20 meters down that makes the water purple at that specific depth. Thanks to photosynthetic bacteria that deposit some of the minerals in the water, Green Lake is home to one of the few existing freshwater reefs.
I just think its neat.

i like the person i am dating ๐ they are cool and smart and make me feel special pretty much every day i talk to them
thank you for your attention to this matter 
that is all 
I'm sure they feel lucky to have met you and find your smarts, humor and attitude delightful 
getting an inside tip that they find you adorable because they adore everything about you.
Jimothy Cool is playing Celeste on stream (therefore this post belongs in the trans thread) and he's having an incredible glitch on his chat. English messages are being filtered and he can't see them, so everyone is writing ni hao in the chat, because for some reason chinese isn't banned
thanks for mentioning always great to watch a streamer I know play Celeste for the first time, and encouraging me to learn some phrases or at least to read pinyin better
dysphoria (maybe?)
sometimes my boobs look like boobs and sometimes my boobs don't look like boobs and I dunno what to make of that, especially since yknow they're the same boobs
I can't get over that stat that there's probably 400,000 trans internally displaced refugees in the USA. As in people who've fled one state to another. That's like a factor of 10 more I would have guessed. If a civil war had displaced half a million people that would be news worthy
a civil war kinda does it more all at once. Queer people leaving rural areas for socially liberal cities is a steady trickle that's been happening for as long as we've had language to describe ourselves.
The trans population is something like 0.5%. Somewhere between 0.3% to 1%.
If its 400K, then 400K/1650K are displaced. Or between one out of four to one out of five transgender people have been internally displaced in the US by that estimate.
I think I know why I'm depressed
Haven't done fun things in a while. Haven't left my house to go anywhere that isn't like a pharmacy or a grocery store. My clothes don't fit the gender expression I want. Even videogames are boring right now. Haven't gone out with friends, so no social interaction that isn't online.
I feel terrible.
I don't think I can fix this for now. At least I can feel things now, which didn't use to be the case.
Random bout of crushing loneliness again AAAAAAAA 
I havent gushed about my bottom surgery lately but I am very happy about having a vagina and the results of the surgery!! This shit kicks ass
it fucking rules! 
Fuck yeah! Happy for you :)
Had a therapy appointment for the first time in 10 years. They did not bring up my gender dysphoria diagnosis or my transness at all despite that being a pretty major development in my mental health since I last went. A trans friend have me resources though, so Iโm going to go to one that specializes in lgbtq mental health so I donโt have to deal with cis ignorance
I had my first personal trainer session on monday (ya gurl is getting over her fear of the gym!) and holy fuck. Lemme tell you, skipping my running routine for three months did NOT do me favors for leg day. Im still stiff and sore down there two days later. I'm trying to get some stretches in here and there but good lord are my dogs BARKING.
I had to stop working out since surgery ๐ฉ
I think Im getting close enough I can start at least doing my kettlebells and bodyweight stuff again. The most I did was walk around and use the stairs for the last month and a bit.
My new ID got mailed!! Based on what people say online it should only be a few days until it arrives. I quite like the black and white version of my picture, I hope adding color doesn't make it any worse
I still have to get a new version in around two years, which will be a good opportunity to get my gender marker changed if I haven't already
yellow is such an underrated fashion hair color, honestly one of my favorites of all time along with blue.
erm, you know who else liked blonde hair and blue eyes? ๐
But what about blue hair and blond eyes?
blue / yellow hair that mixes to green in the center, preferred by birds or tropical fish mostly
Very problematic
o nooo
(as a side note -- love this emoji lol)
Fuck LLMs, you should never listen to what they say, but I still get the people who say they trust them more than doctors or psychologists
An LLM cant get u committed, and doctors are somehow still better at gaslighting
At least if you engage with a llm with caution you know itโs an algorithm that runs off the scraped data of the aggregated internet and thus can take everything it shows you with a massive grain of salt and sift through the pile of bs like when googling a question and sorting through Reddit threads to find scaps of ideas you find valuable. With so called professionals they have the appearance of authority which inclines you to trust them even though a good chunk of them have no idea what they are talking about half the time and just got through med school with daddyโs money and good test taking skills. This is more about my dislike of medical professionals than me liking llms though
Would love to take a break from being g trans but then I see women and I lose my mind cause I wanna be her. When I see men I lose my mind cause I want to be held like a girl.
I would love to take a break from living in this hellish world, it's more about not suffering needlessly in cishet society than not being trans
What would taking a break from being trans mean?
It means I'd like to become a cis girl for a week.
Lol OK the spoiler contains what it actually means
cw:spiraling + suicide
I just came back from downtown. Whole time I was out, I was feeling "fuck fuck fuck", avoiding people cause I was scared, looking at women's fashion and cursing myself for not having the courage to buy anything while also feeling like I didn't deserve to wear such clothes. Then I though about being betrayed by everyone and how I could never trust people again.
And that's more of less how most of my waking time goes. I cannot stand being conscious and try my best to drown out my thoughts with cheap dopamine.
Then I bought some food from the supermarket, and I could only think that I didn't deserve to eat. Now I'm stress eating what I bought as I type this.
In the morning I woke up lamenting that I wasn't dead yet, in the night I will cry myself to sleep.
If that sounds like a lot, it is! I can deal with a lot of bullshit (engineering student, linux user), but like, there is a limit, which has clearly been crossed. If I can't go out on a relaxing stroll on a nice sunny day without feeling like killing myself, then yeah ...
When I say I'd like to take a break from being trans, I really just want a break from all that. I can handle normal life problems just fine.
wishing the best for you, comrade 
That's all very heavy, wow
Thanks. You always take the time to read my nwgative comments even though you're loaded with work. I appreciate it.
I can deal with a lot of bullshit (engineering student, linux user)
๐ญ
I am sorry though, it is a lot and I deal with it like that too.
(ใฃหฬฉโญโฎหฬฉ)ใฃ
Not having to think or deal with it and the host of things it comes with for like, a week
Although after that week I definitely couldn't go back
Sodium was talking like being a cis girl instead, personally Id rather be a trans woman over a cis woman but I can appreciate that pov - but Id definitely opt for trans woman over cis man!! In fact, I did irl~
I get what you mean about rather being trans girl than cis girl. The only real way to somehow become a cis person is to alter your history, but then that's just a different person.
Now a magically induced perfect sex change? Now that's the shit. Or maybe you would refuse that too?
Oh Id take a magic uterus, lol. But I actually kinda like trans bodies. There's stuff Id do with my face and I work out for a bigger booty but I like my arms and shoulders and I really like being as tall as I am. If the price of what I want is to give that up, ah I suppose if I must lol
Ah I see, I wasn't necessarily trying to speak about her desire but I also want a break and that's what it'd be for me. I definitely could not go back to this after a week as a cis girl. Glad it's better for you though. Wish that was my feelings
When she starts acting like 
in your dreams
i, segfault11, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with big goofy smiles 
An extremely goofy movie is just a movie to me
