When Kim Stanley Robinson wrote about different periods of your life being rooms that you wander through, and that some you can revisit, but others you are locked out of forever once you leave them, it kind of kicked my heart in the ass a little bit.

no offense but reading is literally the cure to brain rot and there’s no work around to reading books

it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

I'm a simple bitch. i believe the purpose of government should be to improve the lives of its citizens and protect its most vulnerable members. unfortunately i live in a day and age where this gets me labeled an enemy of the state

Hey so did you know that the Mars rover Perseverance has an instrument called SHERLOC which is studying the composition of the soil, and an accompanying camera called WATSON that is documenting everything?
In 2024 they've been exploring somewhere called the "Beehive Geyser", except SHERLOC's cover got stuck (presumably resulting in grit affecting a sensitive instrument?)
I feel very normal about this.
Explore the universe together, guys.
#i have a completely unreasonable amount of love for all these little space rovers#i cried when opportunity died and that is not normal :)#perseverance#sherlock holmes

18th century famous people be like: George was born the oldest of 36 children. His father was a shoe farmer and Grand Piano. At just 2 days old, he began his study of medicine and human biology at Oxford fortunately studying under Shakespeare in Berlin, Austria. Shortly after, he conducted his first successful heart transplant at 1.3 years old. He soon became an ordained priest. By the age of 4, he had married his cousin and had 5 children named Emma, all of whom became minstrels except for one who actually turned out to be Charles Dickens. By the end of his career at 28 years old he had written 11,000 books about Julius Caesar which he made into comedic plays and became a world class harmonica, guitar, and spoon player. He died of tripping on his own foot or lead poisoning at 30

I have a friend who has one biological and one adopted son and I found out he likes to tell people “my firstborn is six and my other child is eleven” which is hilarious.
