I realize with how old this blog is and if I am planning to use this as my main social media I should have a pinned post.
Hi! I am Gwyn and this blog is mostly for my general collection and use.
This blog is over 13 years old, and I have been a mobile user only for most of that so the older posts are going to show their age.
Anyway I will update this as I need. Thank you and enjoy the museum tour.
Big fan of college party animal Ryland “it’s been a long time since I took a pill from a stranger without knowing what it was” Grace who is a notorious menace.
Big fan of high academia Dr Ryland “will call you a staggering waste of carbon” Grace who is a short tempered, egotistical, and kind of a jerk.
Big fan of how Ryland Grace can be both these things but while still having his same fundamental personality as a good person and wet cat.
Big fan of how it’s generally agreed that teaching burned the evil out of him and let his whimsy shine.
Big fan of how it took arguably the most difficult and deranged demographic of the human population (thirteen year olds) to turn that man into the best version of himself.

What I seriously love about the PHM fandom is that I have seen very little stuff considering Stratt the villain. "We want more complex female characters" AND WE ACTUALLY WERE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS ONE. Well done everyone. 10/10.
I think the reason why our generation feels so connected to project Hail Mary is because it’s about someone who doesn’t want to be sacrificed, but they have been, and all they want is to live.
That’s very much how I feel about the state of everything. Generations before mine made choices and I’m the sacrifice with the environment, the economy, and social movements.
When I was in high school my uncle told me it’s “up to your generation to solve these issues.” All I could think was ‘excuse me?? I’m not even old enough to vote? Why don’t you do something about it??’
You have money, you have voting power, you have time to be socially aware of these issues - why it is up to me, a high schooler, to solve.
Why do I have to be the consequence to your actions?
Project Hail Mary is a movie about hope. It’s a movie about how fucked someone is by another person’s choice and how even though it’s awful YOU have to do something about it. It’s about how you can’t just lay down and die.
It really resonates with me- with how fucked everything feels I want desperately to give up, but unfortunately I’m a good person and I will try to make things better.
I think the other message to take away from this movie is that change takes time. Since the Hail Mary was launched to the time the beetles returned is over a decade. Yes everything feels like it’s going to shit right now, but our actions will have an impact. Change takes time and the sooner we recognize the problems and start working on the solutions the sooner the problem will be resolved. And we are making changes! I really believe we are. We will create a world we want to live in again.
… anyway I’ll get off my soap box now.
i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are
and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy
and okay like. everyone hold my hand. can- WITH LOVE. can I, with love, talk about how I hate the fan-perception that grace cries too much. you guys. he cries a NORMAL AMMOUNT for a MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER who was KIDNAPPED and sent to SPACE!!! WITHOUT HIS CONSENT!!! yes yes leaky alien blob leaky leaky leaky I GET IT okay but like. the first time I watched phm every time ryland cried I was right there CRYING WITH HIM. this is just what happens when we've stopped normalizing the "male main charcter doesn't cry" thing, okay??? there is not a SINGLE time in this movie where we spend time on the ryland tear ducts that doesn't make sense / deserve it!!! I will always fight and say that Dr. Ryland Grace cries A Normal Ammount considering the circumstances he's under!!!

shout out to book!grace, who blasted himself with 29 atmospheres worth of 210c (410f) degrees hot straight ammonia, in the hopes that rocky would survive. who carried rockys whole 168kg (370lbg) down ladders in a make-shift carrier. who turned around for rocky, fully expecting to die of starvation. sigh. who was just a little bit more of a bitch than movie!grace (whats that one quote where hes like "if i had a nickel for every parent i wanted to slap during my career, id have enough to fill a sock and hit them with that instead"). who was purposefully given memory loss, so he wouldnt sabotage the mission (something he threatned many times). who wasnt "friendless", like he was depicted in the movie. i miss you so bad. you were everything.
"Using an Oxford comma is a sign of AI"
bestie boo, let me fill you in on something: if you're going to take any part of 'good grammar' and randomly assign it to She's A Witch! AI, you might as well give up. It's over. You're cooked. Anyone who has spent the last decade or more learning to type properly, anyone who has spent any time writing articles/papers/essays that require you to use 'good grammar' is going to fall into that 'oh no it might be AI' trap.
Stop hunting like it's 1692. You're not going to find Goody Proctor at the ChatGPT sacrament. What you're going to do is exactly what happened back then: harming people who've done nothing wrong.
can I reblog this a million times
having an otp means you're just chilling, minding your own business, doing your hobby, then boom, you get hit with very vivid scene for a fanfic, as if you're inside that scene.
The art for my Patron Saints set is finally complete! Foil print versions are on their way to me and will be available for sale on my Etsy soon for anyone interested, so keep an eye on this post for updates if you want prints! I’m so happy with how both of these came out. I wanted them to be drastically different in tone while being very similar in all the ways that matter. They’re both holding the hope of their respective universes in their hands <3. Details below the cut!
So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
can ppl pls reblog this version
Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!
This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
Finally, an open hardware printer you can actually understand, repair, and upgrade
