It began in a star. No, before that. A singularity. Time was not time then. There was no I nor U. Nothing so unstable can stay. In a fraction of a fraction of a second, An infinite point became finite space. We gazed, then reached, across it, And became incandescent. In the interstellar dust of that death, at last We coalesced – atom within void, void within atom – The fusion in which all things merge and emerge. The echoes are still there, White noise belying black space Between the notes of every love song on the radio.
The prompt was "elemental"
Ellie asked me what my favorite noun is, and I chose “susurrus.” What’s yours?
I’m just a broken little girl forced to be an adult
I’d make the same face honestly
Hooray autistic pattern recognition saying “see this is just more proof that the only person you can count on is you, sugar buns,” thanks I hate being like this
I realize I have abandonment issues aggravated by ADHD-powered rejection sensitivity but it would be nice if I could take “sorry I can’t be there” like a fucking grownup instead of elaborately falling to pieces, like come on
"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and capitalists will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'only if you contribute to the Trump Kennedy Center Renovation Fund'".
“Mother, feed us, for we are starving!”
“Mother cares not for us.”
Imagine going through the process of getting a whole ass PhD and coming out thinking “well that was pointless”
Diagram representing the impacts of viruses on aqueous sediment geochemistry. Organic matter (OM) sinks to the sediments, which is cycled in the microbial community, as well as increasing abundance, diversity, activity, and degradation of OM. From this “microbial loop” recalcitrant dissolved organic matter (RDOM) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) are stored in sediments. Carbon is also released into the atmosphere from the sediment, and viral infection transfers genes between hosts or releases exogenous DNA to be used by bacteria, potentially aiding in metabolic activity.

#MicrobiologyMonday: Marine sediments store vast amounts of carbon. By infecting and lysing microbes, viruses shape biogeochemical cycling from coastal zones to the deep sea and influence long-term carbon storage. Get the story in #AppEnvMicro: asm.social/2Qv
Believe it or not I’m actually quite pretty in person, it’s not just the iPhone filter
Tag yourself I’m the woke dog
YOU’RE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF YOU MOLDY ONION
Me: *driving Ellie to jazz dance class, notices she's singing softly to herself in the backseat*
Her: "Point me to the sky above, I can't get there on my own..."
Me: "...wait, are you singing the Misfits?!"
Science and Art stop fighting, we’re both beautiful and undervalued
The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs
Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL! PLZ READ MY 67-PAGE PAPER ABOUT IT
Yes indeed!

When you’re literally a walking work of art
A photo of me seated in the monastery at the Cloisters in my Unicorn Defends Himself dress
A long shot of me in the same location/dress
Very demure, etc
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
“If you got on this train thinking you were going to North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden, or Rahway, please get off at the next station and wait for a local train. Otherwise… you’ll be trapped here… with me.”
It’s hard to explain how smooth this guy sounds, like he should be on late night call-in radio playing love song requests. Smoooooth.

What happens when two nerds go to the Cloisters
Our conductor on tonight’s train from NYC to Trenton is really having fun with it. “This is a semi-express train. If you’re going to North Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Linden, or Rahway, you have gotten on the wrong train. Time to abandon all hope.”
Turns out, the Haber Bosch process working best with piles of cheap natural gas means that all the fertilizer is now made in like three places
I swear Bluesky buries every post I make about our podcast. Please listen to it. For PJ’s sake- he’s a fragile guy.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
