I want one

Come for the radon; stay for the arsenic, lead, vanadium and uranium. A jug from the Radium Ore Revigator Company.

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

What if I start biting the normal people though?

I"m pretty sure that being normal works the same way that zombies do. If a normal person bites you, then you instantly become normal too. We cannot test this theory since normal people don't bite people.

Learning to needle felt while watching this is an important part of the experience-gives me something to stab while trying to process the stupidity

We moved in enough to have a working TV and stolen WiFi. It's time for the summer binge

"I wasn't *that* much of a fangirl, this show had no real impact on me" i say, shoving aside an entire closet full of leather jackets and flannels

The amount of this I can still quote is scary

I just had a dream that gave me one of the best phrases. You know how when queer people spot another queer person it's called "gaydar"? Well in my dream, when a neurodivergent person clocks another neurodivergent person it's called "spectrometer".

something that isn’t talked about enough with chronic illness is knowing that going to your appointments and doing your exercises and all that will help but being in too much pain or too fatigued to go, so your just stuck in this constant cycle of knowing what you need to do to get better but not being able to do it because your sick

Never thought I'd end up being the kind of college student who sits alone in the cemetery at night, listening to music and watching the city skyline from afar

I have resumed my superwholock binge watch.

Apparently, I left off right before the army of ghosts/doomsday. The first two episodes I ever watched, just randomly on TV one day when I was sick. I sobbed. I practically never cry at TV or movies, but I sobbed watching 10 and Rose at Bad Wolf Bay.

Everytime I've rewatched, I end up pausing for a while before those episodes. This time, I did it totally by accident. Didn't even realize they were up next, just got distracted by other things. Amusing that I accidentally continued the tradition.

This is well trod territory for the sdv fandom but,,, farmer is just NOT human, farmer “spends 10 hours fishing, scarfs down 15 pieces of seaweed and gifts you a raw egg out of their pocket” is NOT FUCKING HUMAN!!! That is a little FREAK. Pretending to be human.

And that freak is me and I love this little fictional me
