The Power of Shared Negative Experiences

How Collective Grievances Can Sour Memories and Harm Communities Negative experiences, whether personal or communal, have a profound impact on our emotional well-being. The process of sharing these experiences can be therapeutic, but when it evolves into a collective movement driven by negativity, it can lead to unintended consequences. Specifically, when one individual’s negative experience…

i mean I guess I get it I didn't care about this stuff till I interned under a brilliant polymer scientist with a genuinely infectious passion for the work but like it's all so interesting to me now. silk is soft because of a protein coating its strands that will break down under heat, stress and tension, so hand wash it.. polyacrylic is usually very durable and mimics the properties of wool well but the higher end of washing machine temperatures can start to edge up on its transition temperatures so wash it warm-at-most. polyester is tough and tumble but it's also hydrophobic (thank you benzene ring!) (it's also thus lipophilic meaning oils and bacteria can get "sucked into it") so use an enzyme wash to get out the "trapped smells" and actually clean it.. wool usually comes with a layer of oils from its growth that makes it partially hydrophobic while also being hydrophilic on the inside, making it possible that it will trap bacteria like polyester, use an enzyme wash but be careful it doesn't have cellulase if cotton thread was also used in the product

An interesting discovery was that these Inuit had implements made of iron, which, they said, came from a mountain about twentyfive miles from Ross's ships. A sample taken home proved to be of meteoric origin. Nearly eighty years later, the American explorer Robert Peary found the "mountain," which was in fact three meteorites, the largest of which weighed nearly forty tons. He took them back to the United States, justifying this theft of legendary relics on the grounds that the Inuit could now get iron from traders, and the meteorites were later sold to the American Museum of Natural History.

Man, c'mon.

Just want to share this here because that narrator is fire (and also because my adhd brain could never undertake Worst Journey and maybe I should stop blaming ADHD for the fact that I can't read anymore...)

Audiobook!

making a mental note if I ever make it up to Dundee to scope out possible places on Discovery to put a square set for the lancers. I have, in my life, been On Boats and they're not generally known for large areas of open decking. maybe the wardroom table folded away? this is going to be my niche and specific bugbear I think

I'm in general very interested in dancing in single-gender spaces, especially all-male spaces - even in modern social dance circles, there's this assumption that the ideal partnership is m/f, and of course women won't mind dancing together if the numbers don't work out but it's Too Much for men to do the same if that's how the numbers go (obviously this has changed over time, but even in ~2018 when I first started dancing with my current group, people would kindly offer to break up their f/f partnership so I (male(ish)-presenting) wouldn't 'have to' dance with a man), so there's an element of petty vindication in pointing at historical dancing and going 'well it didn't seem to bother them in 1903'. Especially when, as here, the fact of dancing in m/m pairs isn't even remarked upon, just 'we had a song or two, then a set of lancers and then more songs' (p.266).

Polarization of the Carbonyl Group

-- Carbonyl group:

-- The oxygen has two lone pairs

-- The oxygen is more electronegative than the carbon

-- The polarization arrow will show electrons being pulled toward the oxygen

-- The carbon is partially positive

-- Partially positive = δ+

-- The oxygen is partially negative

-- Partially negative = δ-

-- These symbols go by the arrow

-- The polarization makes the boiling points of aldehydes and ketones higher than hydrocarbons

-- The larger the carbonyl group, the less soluble it is in water

-- If it has more than six carbons, it is insoluble

Leaping from perhaps the hottest continent to the coldest, with the prompt “POLAR”. I have a soft spot for polar bears, so I knew they’d be the focus. Plus I was determined to include those beautiful ice caves.

Its so wild to me that a lot of people don't know much about animals. It's interesting, too. Especially because of course everyone thinks they know a lot more about stuff than they do. (The curve. I forget what its called. You know, the curve.)

Like I remember a while ago seeing a video that wasnt good, it was a cougar or something in someone's house just hanging out. And people in the notes were like:

Actually 🤓☝️ this is fine! The op said they rescued it. It's not like they just bought one. It's fine this grizzly bear is eating French fries in someone's living room.

Like... honey nooo. No. A good wildlife rescuers does not keep bears or lions or whatever in their house casually roaming around. Even if by chance they DID take that animal from a worse situation, it's still not rescued yet. There's so much there to get into.

That sort of thing peeves me a little more than general unawareness. Cause its like, they were concerned, but then blindly listened to what they heard the op had said. You need to critically think when you see videos like that.

So that annoys me more than those people who don't know anything at all about animals going "aww look at this cute video of a fox and a cat playing together"
