i’m starting to hate the frequency of pinterest as a google result more than i hate pinterest itself. listen, google, googly-mate, pinterest isn’t a fuckign source. I want the sites those pictures came from because those are the ones with information such as dates, which is the entire point of the thing I am googling.

last night in lichen class we were doing review and one of the students came up to me with a lichen and was like ‘so this is x growth form?’. i looked at it. ‘nah this is y growth form, like it’s really going hog wild there like look at that thallus’. ‘no but look *gesturing down lichen* you can see it grew down the rock like this hugging the substrate so it would be x growth form??’. 

i looked closer. sure enough, the Lad was growing down the rock hugging the substrate. ‘no but wait,’ i said, ‘ive seen ones with y growth form growing like that in the wild, it’s just when they’re chilling on a downwards slope. like maybe this ones just kinda big’. she took out her review sheet where she had the answers that my professor had read aloud, and showed me that he had told the class that it was x growth form. i checked my teaching assistant answer sheet and saw that on there, the same professor had marked that it was y growth form. 

confused, with the lichen between us, we called my professor over and explained the situation. ‘huh. well, lets see what The Big Official Lichen Textbook has to say about it’, he said. we stood with baited breath as he heaved the 5 pound tome down on the lab table and flipped to the page regarding the Lad in question. 

‘its both probably idk’ said the Big Official Lichen Textbook

“my battery is low and it’s getting dark” is so hauntingly human, so crushingly lonely. I can’t articulate the deep, profound ache that sentence evokes. It’s acceptance and defeat and terror and sadness all at once, all from one tiny machine we asked to explore the stars for us.

“My battery is low and it is getting dark” weren’t Oppy’s literal last words, her last message to earth was a readout of her battery power and light sensor readings, something that I think is nonetheless sad. But what I find astounding is we’ve translated that last message into language that is so poetic and humane, and IMO that speaks powerfully of the lengths that human empathy can reach. I really think that says something beautiful, and I need to go hug my Roomba.

The fact that John Mulaney is older than Bo Burnham but younger than Andy Samberg really fucks with my concept of time not gonna lie
