I am unable to post on my primary so I'm posting here until I am able to post on @reality-detective again.

Medically relevant issues are explored [in Frankenstein]: the gendered nature of birth, the questions of practitioner responsibility and patient consent, and the ethics of experimentation in an uncontrolled and unregulated environment.

Therapy is great because sometimes I get to perform little science experiments on myself as homework from my session.

Attempt number 2.5 of my incredibly scuffed indoor gardening experiments:

This new seed sprouting method seems to be yielding results way faster than the last 2. (Attempt #1 just killed the seeds instantly)

The last surviving plants from attempt 2 seem to not be dying. Sadly one of our cats is now officially a plant murderer.

Do not tempt me. Maybe this would be a nice evening activity to stave off the boredom.

LIQUID MAGNETS

This is ferrofluid- a liquid substance that responds to the presence of magnets with these really cool reactions!

Ferrofluid is actually made of tons of tiny tiny particles of iron or another magnetic metal suspended in water. Each of the particles are coated in a surfactant to keep them from all bunching together, and that's why it looks like a cohesive liquid.

This compound is paramagnetic. That means that it won't automatically stick to iron or other magnetic materials, but when a magnetic field is applied, each of the tiny iron particle becomes a magnet and moves and reacts to the field. Depending on how you apply the magnetic field, this can create some pretty cool effects!

Ferrofluid was actually created in the early 1960s by Steve Papell, a NASA engineer that was trying to come up with a type of rocket fuel that can be easily moved around in zero gravity.

Today, ferrofluid is used in products like loudspeakers and hard drives, but they could potentially be used in the biomedical field as a way to help deliver drugs to certain areas of the body. The drugs would be attached to small amounts of ferrofluid, and then selectively released magnetic fields could help guide them to where they need to go.

You can also just... buy a bottle of it to play with like in the gif at the top. They sell it on Amazon (just be cautious and take appropriate precautions handling it if you have an unsealed container).

april 29 | tuesday

spend almost the whole day programming

first, I worked on color diagrams for my thesis. then, in our programming class, we made this cute picture of a cat

in the physics in nature class, we talked about light and teacher showed us some cool experiments

and after that, I went to the square where they were showing the hockey playoff final and our city’s team won! 🥳

I'M STARTING A MAD SCIENCE DISCORD SERVER.🧪🥼🥽⚗️🧫🧬💉🔬🩻🫧⚡️🔥💥💣🦴🦷👁🫁🫀🧠📋🩸🔩☠️⚠️☢️☣️

are you a lover of mad science? a mad scientist yourself? a normal scientist slowly loosing it and realising their fate? a fan of mad scientists, fictional or physical? then welcome to my new Discord server, The Unethics Committee! on tumblr there are wizards, gremlins, fairies, cryptids, vampires, ghosts and more, but i've noticed there is actually quite a few mad scientist friends on here to, so i'm doing this in an effort to bring our little community together a bit more.

in this server, we will do all things related to science, mad or not, as well as just hang out and have a great time: talking about science stuff, share media and music, own experiments and discuss unhinged theories and plans, be silly, cause chaos, whatever, you name it.

Server link:

looking forward to hanging out with my fellow lab coat-wearing, chemical loving, hysterically laughing, lab safety violating bastards. :)

The original draft for this post Tumblr decided to just up and delete, so here's take 2. A lot more clinical and scientific, since I want this to double as a research reference.

For those who saw my original post regarding this topic (linked below for convenience of those who did not), I am a former traumagenic system trying to bring back my alters using the painless methods developed by endogenic systems. I am also using myself as an experiment specimen to further research for endogenic systems.

My experiment will start with 2 alters. The first, an alter from my original system. A former little named Sky who aged up and became a caregiver for the other littles, and retained their original purpose as a fragment of childlike joy by developing age regressions.

(Keep in mind most of my alters were formed in 2019 when I was a small gacha creator, even though my system originally formed much earlier. This is my attempt to revamp her design while also making her accurate to my memory. Ages of my alters will all be omitted like my own to avoid creeps, as some of them are minors.)

The second is an entirely new alter I am going to try and develop at the same time, to record the differences in speed and experiences with both. They are currently unnamed, but if you have name suggestions for it, please leave them in the comments. (Think storybook animals or characters from old movies taking place in a small town in the middle of south-nowhere)

As of right now (Wednesday, May 28, 2025) I have experienced a buzz in the back of my mind, like I used to when I had alters, and the sensation of someone else in the front observing me. If I had to guess who it was, I would guess the unnamed rabbit. It didn't feel like Sky's presence used to, according to my memory.

Be My Wings and My Eyes

Dear Dr. Caldwell:

We are writing in response to your inquiry of October 15th regarding our efforts to acquire a new subject for Ex13A; as you know, our current subjects are unintentionally conditioned to become extremely anxious once personnel interact with them.

The acquisition of a new locomotive through outright purchase or a bespoke build is no longer a viable option due to the current funding constraints. For the purpose of this expiriment, I suggest we turn to a local source- the NWR. Sir Topham Hatt currently has a surplus of living locomotives, and he is willing to loan to one of his engines to us.

We eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,

Dr. Leland Wood, Spokesperson

Summary of a fanfic I'm writing with a dark premise (warning: it may get gory) but a hopeful ending. For a while, I'll be mostly posting artwork for the story. The picture here is Eleanor and Andrew.
