Science (chemistry laboratory) by day, crochet by night, easily distracted all the time. Love my dog, my books, my peace and quiet, and my craft projects. "Set your course by the stars, not by the lights of every passing ship." ~Omar Bradley~ she/her
Considering it has held up to an extremely active 10 year old so well, I'd recommend this seller to anyone who wants to get a fun wallet for a kid (or themselves, a comic book print would be easy to find in a purse or backpack for an adult too!).
2 years ago I got my youngest niece a wallet that she loves, even though it's gotten faded over time. So for her birthday this year I ordered her a new one. Such a great variety of prints and so well made. 🙂

This is way too on the nose considering world events.
I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth
Oh jeez that's giving me anxiety and I haven't played in decades.
This is incredibly on point.
Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.
It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.
Went to the local symphony orchestra last night and they performed Cosmic Cycles: A Space Symphony composed by Henry Dehlinger. It made me think of how many composers have been inspired by the universe (especially since one of my favorite things is Holst Planets). A great night and so glad I went.
Three tiny Lego tropical plants in little pots, including a bright red lily-like flower, jade plants, and tiny purple plant.
Three tiny Lego insectivorous plants in little pots, including a group of pitcher plants, a variety of sundew, and Venus flytrap.
Three tiny Lego desert plants in little pots, including a large round cactus with pink flowers, a prickly pear, and a small succulent.
Surprisingly I did not fall asleep on Lego bricks and these tiny plants are indeed as adorable as I thought they would be. A small creative break from the ever-increasing horrors.
I look forward to the day I never have to think about that demented human skidmark ever again.
There's a reason so many names of stars go back to the Arabic language, after all.
Box of Lego Botanicals Tiny Plants set, showing 9 tiny Lego plants in little brick terrace cotta pots. Some of the plant models constructed are sundew, pitcher plants, Venus flytrap, a couple varieties of cacti, and a jade plant.
Probably not the best insomnia activity as I'll likely doze off before I finish and have bricks impaled somewhere in my body, but these guys are so cute.
That 4th set is calling to me.
WHAT WHAT IS THIS NEWS REAL???

This is horrifying. That poor family.
So frustrating to see that a local store has something i want to buy in stock so I won't need to order it from a website - only to find an empty spot on the shelf and I wasted my time. 😠
Congratulations! I had no idea Pokémon was still such a big thing.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Maybe their Jesus has a snooze button he keeps hitting on the Armageddon clock.

He looks so curious! I love him. ❤️

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)
It's so dumb. Dubai is literally just across the straits of Hormuz from Iran. Sarah Palin could see it from her house!
Did they not check a map to see where Dubai ACTUALLY IS LOCATED? FFS.
The Children Speaking from the Rubble Tell us, what do the living do? Do you dance? Do you make bread with each other? Do you walk in the parks in autumn, smelling the late summer flowers? Is it true that some things get to grow old? What is the world doing now? Are you fighting with sticks and stones? Do you remember us? Do you lie down under the stars and listen to the birds passing overhead, and do you get to feel the little wings of your own wild heart be opened? You have somewhere to go then, don't you? Go. Don't let us keep you. We have names. We are safe. We're at school. We are hiding in our favorite little places, waiting for you to tap us on the shoulders, to tell us it was just a joke, come home now, and the bombs and boots are just a game we're playing, and the bread and milk are waiting on the table, and the moon is new, and the gardens are in blossom. This sentence is the length of one of our shoes. —Joseph Fasano
When will we ever learn?
I wonder if it wasn't that war correspondents at that time kind of wandered on their own unaccompanied and could search out their own stories. By the time of "Stormin' Norman" Swartzkoff(sp) they were chaperoned around which, while safer, meant they only got positive stories + were less independent?
Stanley Plotkin had a major hand in the development of a number of vaccines in use today; he designed the rubella vaccine. He remembers the world before widespread use of vaccines & knows what's coming as vaccine policy is rewritten & vaccine confidence is eroded. www.statnews.com/2026/03/02/s...

I just made an account and voted for this biology laboratory made of LEGO to "promote biological research and inspire more people into the world of biology". They need 10K votes. Reposting and/or voting below would be helpful. 🤗

They couldn't even wait until the end of the Olympic truce. I wish it was possible to move both the World Cup and the summer Olympics.
