Scientists:”This rare moth was extinct for 50 years.”
Me, looking at the identical moths in my apartment every summer: ”You sure about that?”

Why is basic grammar on Facebook still a challenge?
No space before punctuation, one space after punctuation, it’s not rocket science.
Yet here we are… every. single. day.
Whoever started the trend of writing essays on facebook posts needs to stop. I’m not reading all that, and you’re ruining my smooth scrolling rhythm.
My thumb did not sign up for cardio.
Went to see the doctor today. He said I need meds for at least 6 weeks. Asked me where I’m going. I said: Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Croatia, Indonesia, and Mexico. In that order.
He just blinked.

Apparently everyone on LinkedIn is thrilled and excited all the time. New job? Thrilled. Left old job? Excited. Took a nap? Beyond proud.
I’ve never seen that much excitement in real life, except maybe from ChatGPT. Must be nice to live in a world of endless enthusiasm.
This work made me think for some time. And the question I have is: if violence leaves generational scars in our DNA, what are the markers of peace? And how do we reverse the scars? How do we measure that? So many questions. Your thoughts?

One day Bryan Johnson will die peacefully at a very average age,
like a completely average man, but with the glowing skin of a sentient ring light and a face that says:
“I’m still tracking my REM sleep, are you?” 😐 #longevity #lifegoals #oops
Move over, mitochondria, there’s a new organelle in town!
Scientists found a nitroplast (yes, that’s a real word now) in algae that fixes nitrogen like a tiny, overachieving farmhand. It’s only the fourth time evolution pulled this trick, I guess prokaryotes really love upgrading to organelles.
Communist China is better at capitalism than America. Prove me wrong.
Mel Robbins has her 'Let Them' theory... but l've got a 'Fuck Them' theory. And honestly?
'Fuck 'em' hits different.
Let them misunderstand you? Nah. *Fuck 'em.*
Let them talk shit? *Fuck 'em.*
Let them be mad you're living well? *Fuck 'em.*
Some just deserve a middle finger and a margarita.
We all thought no politician could tank a country’s finances like Liz Truss. Then Trump said “Hold my beer”…

I still find this funny for some reason
April Fools’ Day posts and American news headlines are basically the same.
The only difference? One of them might actually be a joke.
DNA-testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy, which means the future of the company’s vast trove of customer data is unknown.
Here's what that means for your genetic data.
By fostering peace and understanding today, we can break the chains of inherited trauma and pave the way for a healthier, more harmonious world.
Each act of violence doesn’t merely affect the immediate victim but imprints upon the genetic fabric of their descendants, perpetuating cycles of trauma. Embracing non-violence isn’t just a moral choice; it’s a commitment to safeguarding the well-being of future generations.
In light of recent research revealing that the scars of violence can embed themselves into our very DNA, persisting across generations, the imperative for peace becomes even more profound.
The image shows the Red Dwarf, a fictional spaceship from the British science fiction comedy series "Red Dwarf." It is a large, red-colored mining ship belonging to the Jupiter Mining Corporation (JMC). The ship is depicted against a backdrop of stars, emphasizing its presence in space. The name "RED DWARF" is prominently displayed on the side of the ship. The ship is equipped with a "scoop" at the front, used for collecting hydrogen from space to convert into fuel, powering its Bussard ramjet engine.
Love seeing travelers claim they go off the beaten path only to post the same Eiffel Tower, Santorini, and Bali swing pics as everyone else.
You’re not mysterious. You’re not adventurous. You’re just basic with extra steps.
Ah yes, the noble work of a fashion influencer getting dressed. A true act of courage. Just watched a guy put on pants, a shirt, and a jacket… and somehow, that’s content.
Revolutionary.
Eating overly spicy food isn’t a heroic feat, it’s just numbing your taste buds. If you can’t taste the fine nuances of a dish because it’s drowning in heat, that’s not a flex. Enjoy spice, but don’t brag like it’s a superpower.
At 47, I thought, why not get clear aligners? Two weeks in, I swapped to my second tray, and I’d rather:
Gauge my eyes out with a rusty spoon
Yank my teeth out with pliers-ironic, I know
Chew tinfoil for fun
Lick a frozen pole
Sit through a 3-hour crypto lecture
But hey, straight teeth if I survive.
WISDOM WEDNESDAY: Everything you resist, judge, or fear is pointing to your next level. Life isn’t punishing you, it’s stretching you. The things you keep avoiding are the very things holding your breakthrough. What if, instead of running from discomfort, you leaned into it. What is it teaching you?
Very proud moment - my husband published another album!
Time to put some headphones and enjoy Valentine Day vibes! 🥰
Hey @AppleMaps, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America because of a fascist order? Bold move. What’s next—rebranding the Atlantic as ‘Freedom Ocean’?
Fix it before we all start navigating with a paper map out of spite.
Americans, how much more do you need to see before taking action? How many warnings, how many repeats of history, how much more damage? At what point does ‘this is bad’ turn into ‘we won’t let this happen’?
Because the clock is ticking.
“Why do Americans eat like their healthcare is free?”
