I despise algorithm-driven speech so much.

i think they shouldve taken me on a polar expedition not because i would be useful or especially resilient but because my preexisting mental health conditions would have made me an interesting wildcard

One of Aristotle's students asked him why pitchers reach down, grab some dirt from the mound, and assiduously rub it on the baseball. Aristotle's reply is given in Book Twelve of the Metaphysics. The experienced pitcher is aware that the longer the baseball is kept from reaching the earth, the more frustrated it becomes. By rubbing dirt on the baseball, the pitcher attempts to temporarily placate the ball's desire to hit the ground.

Die Mimik der Tethys (The Expressions of Tethys) is a high sea buoy (last was in Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, 2024), that is suspended in space and moves synchronously to another buoy in the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. Continuously transmitting motion data via satellite to its relocated double, the information guides eight electric motors and cable winches, which precisely reproduce the buoy's movement in the ocean. The buoy functions as a hypnotising machine that inevitably leads to the idea of waves lapping around inside the exhibition space, creating an ocean in the minds of people.

Need Tumblr to understand that you are a marine biologist only if you study lads and urchins in the seas and oceans. If you study hooligans and whippersnappers in a lake or river you are in fact not a marine biologist, you are a limnologist.
