Hi, I'm Ada.

Name's Ada. 32. I'm weak and not a fairy. I want to be a jellyfish when I grow up.

This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.

Thank you, adorable scientist, for making people's lives better.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

so many mental health issues these days are due to the fact that we no longer put the gargoyles on buildings that used to scare away the evil spirits that cause mental illness

this job market is a fucking nightmare

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

love the camera guy even gets to bump into a mirror for us

[athelind]

Okay, I love everything about this hall of mirrors:

Traditional mirror mazes are dark and creepy. This one is brightly lit, and colorful.

The triangular grid makes it that much more disorienting.

The pillars help to obscure the difference between the mirrors and the openings -- so it doesn't NEED to be dark.

All of this combines to make it much more fun and entertaining and much less "I gotta get out of here before Mr. Dark drags me off to the soul-sucking carousel".

[mantis-lizbian]

btw, here's the trick for a mirror maze: look at the floor. even in this video, whenever you can see the floor, it's easy to see which way isn't mirrors

Fun fact. Nothing can stop you from finding the oldest art your friend has ever made on their blog and reblogging it.

#the reason that lab safety regulations are the way they are is because literally all chemists are like this #as in 100% of them #no exceptions (via @prokopetz)

[beyondthisdarkhouse]

My grade 7 science teacher told a dazzling tale of how his friend in university stole a chunk of one of those pyrophoric metals—potassium? Magnesium?—from the lab, wrapped it up in brown paper towels, and made out like a bandit.

And then went to gloat over his acquisition and opened up the towels. Which had absorbed enough of the oil the metal was stored in to prevent it from reacting with any spare oxygen in the air.

So it started to react and my teacher's friend freaked out and realized he was going to get caught and get in trouble. And in a panic, he ran to the bathroom and flushed it down a toilet. A brilliant strategy, is it not, for disposing of a chemical that reacts somewhat to air, but whose characteristic interaction with water is generally described as "violent"?

Anyway, if you don't want to get caught stealing lab supplies, go off-campus so you don't blow up one of your own university's toilets. Connecting the dots there is not an insurmountable challenge.

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Excuse me???

you are right and you should say it.

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?
