HOW OLD ARE YOU? 24 WHAT ARE YOU TALENTED AT? pretending to understand pop culture references, picking out lipstick colors that would look good on people I know, remembering strangely long reams of dialogue, and occasionally convincing reviewers to accept conference papers WHAT’S A BIG GOAL YOU’RE WORKING TOWARDS (OR HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED)? finishing my M.Sc.! T-minus 6 weeks on that one, with any luck WHAT’S YOUR AESTHETIC? I don’t know how the youths usually describe these things, so my attempt will be in the form of a list: cowgirl boots, glass bottles, plants in teacups, a truly unnecessary number of extra computer monitors, dark-wash jeans, Islay scotch, antler/bone jewelry, fossils, dark lipstick, enough blush it looks like I applied it with a cannon DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? succulents! (see: plants in teacups) WHAT’S A TOPIC YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT? how sick I am of people asking me about the singularity, how my plants are doing, gender/ethnicity representation problems in STEM, development economics, and my all-time favorite question to ask people in bars: “if you had one classic literary author on your side in a bar fight, who would you want it to be?” WHAT’S A PET PEEVE OF YOURS? when people assume “I work in machine learning” = “I’m trying to make robots think like people”. (see: previous statements regarding the singularity) GOOD ADVICE TO GIVE? “I mean, if you're going to sleep with the mobster then fine, sleep with the mobster. But don't pretend that's a Stradivarius he's carrying around inside that violin case.” -Augusten Burroughs WHAT ARE THREE SONGS YOU’D RECOMMEND? Van Leaving Blue - St. Cinder, Give Me a Try - The Wombats, Black Betty & the Moon - The Horrible Crowes

🌵 Water propagation experiment after approximately 10 days in water (and 3 days to callus). Pretty impressed with the root growth, much faster than any other propagation method I’ve tried! 🌵

It’s fun to say “I have a pet dinosaur.” Technically it’s not a lie, what with birds being avian dinosaurs and all, but I thought it’d be fun to draw a “proper” dinosaur with cockatiel coloration :3

How to make succulent babies!

Step 1: Pick leaves Gently twist the leaf near the base, it should snap off the plant cleanly. Good cuttings will be slightly rounded at the ends, and have no ‘open’ wound:

Bad cuttings will not grow, you need to make sure the whole leaf comes off in one go. Bad leaves are jagged, torn, or cut:

Step 2: Lay all cuttings inside on a piece of cloth. I usually put a piece of old scrap material down on my desk and lie all the leaves out in rows. I try not to pile up the leaves, as this tends to promote rot. Do not water at all. AKA no misting the leaves, no watering the leaves, nothing. Everything the baby succulent needs to grow is stored in the mother leaf, watering may rot the leaf before the new plant is big enough to survive on its own! Make sure the leaves aren’t in direct sun, as they will wither before they form new plants. Filtered light from a window is strong enough!

Step 3: Waiting After about 4 weeks you will start to see the first signs of life. The leaf may send out roots first, it may start to grow with no roots. Both are okay!

Step 4: Planting (Start watering once a week at this stage) After 6-8 weeks the baby succulents will be big enough to plant outside! I do this by placing the leaves on top of loose, sandy soil that has not been compacted. I do not bother burying the leaves, as it tends to do more harm than good (you may snap roots/damage new shoots in the process):
