I failed stats 3 times, never took a chemistry class, and got the ADHD real bad. But I am passionate about science and curious and hardworking, and that has served me better than my mediocre grades ever did. We need more neuro-diversity in science!

northern hemisphere babes we made it to the longest night of the year. we made it. for the next 6 months, every day will give us a little more daylight than the last. let's go. take my hand. climb out of the darkness with me
I wondered why green is so associated with hope and then I remembered being 8 and seeing a little plant sprout after a few days of waiting and. Yeah. I get it now.
As someone who's lived through devastating wildfires, I can say that seeing blades of grass sprout from ashy, barren land can bring you to tears.
Green is absolutely the color of hope.
i'm entering the next phase of my life: tuesday afternoon
Just found out there's a group on inaturalist dedicated to showcasing the silliest observations
pssst - hey field work/ecology work/rugged folks of all types
carhartt has a 25% off code right now (CREW25Q1).
ya girl just got herself some excellent new plus size work pants in multiple colors, I'm hype.
also if you're looking for an excuse to pick up some overalls, I can vouch for them. I've used my carhartt duck overalls for 6+ sweaty nasty muddy field seasons, and they're great. The secret is to buy them in whatever men's size fits close enough, then get them professionally tailored. Mine had to have the straps and pantlegs shortened, but it was the best money I ever spent. They also hold embroidery well, even with machine wash!

imo the only person using tumblr correctly is my friend who got the login to her roommate's old account so she can vote in the hot vintage actor polls
Seasonal Affective Disorder is just emotional scurvy, all my core wounds are reopening and they won't be fixed until the big lemon in the sky comes back
the idea that dressed boring/plain means a person is boring is well... uh. ok. i'm going to be nice. some of us don't live in outfit world.

every time i ask people if they do any new years resolutions its all ooooo i dont like making them bc i fail or ohhhhh no i couldnt keep up wiht that and then when they ask me and i tell them about Pasta Quest (i am eating as many different pasta shapes as possible in the space of a year) or when i did Fruit Adventures (every time i saw a fruit i had never eaten before id get one and eat it and read the wikipedia article about it) theyre like hang on i forgot you can make Fun Ones i want a fun one
while i actually made this post back in May, since New Year’s is approaching here’s some of my fave suggestions from the tags if you’re looking for inspiration!
other favorites from the notes I didn’t get screenshots of at the time:
learn the names/species of local plants, bugs, and birds where you live (iNaturalist or Merlin the bird app help with this)
learn the rules to 10 new card games
steal the colored paint cards from hardware store paint aisles and use them to make art
try out every different apple variety you can find and rank them
similarly LOTS of people in the notes doing soup quests, and a few cheese quests also
similarly lots of people reading/watching certain amounts of media over the year, and tracking/rating it
track the number of cats/dogs/etc you see over the year
there’s plenty more in there too :)
this year I’m gonna grow things from SEED
Specifically tomatoes and maybe melons
