Chronically Ill & Need to Chill

Welcome to my mindscape (a mess of science, math, art mythology, Doctor Who, etc.) trying to chill and have fun after years of hiding my illness (while still learning and spreading awareness about important causes)

As the bombing grows devastatingly more intense, I can only think of my dear friend Sami and his parents, siblings, and beautiful children. It just breaks my heart that things continue to worsen. I hope they, and all Palestinians, soon get to have long, easy, happy lives.

Please, if you've ever wanted to help someone or have wished you could make more of a difference in the world, donate to Sami's fundraiser or share it, anything helps. They are so close to their goal, and I wish them all the love and safety in the world. Thank you so much for even reading.

FUNDRAISER HERE.

Have you ever undergone a surgical procedure?

😷 Yes, for multiple things!

🦷 Yes, for my teeth!

👃 Yes, for my head / face

🖐 Yes, on my hands /arms

❤️‍🩹 Yes, on my torso / organs!

🦴 Yes, on my back / spine!

🦵 Yes, on my hips / knees

🦶 Yes, on my ankles / feet

🩺 Yes, but something not mentioned / somewhere else on my body!

😁 Nope! Never had surgery done before!

👩‍👦 I haven't had surgery but a loved one has before!

Voting ended onSep 2, 2025

Anyone who's undergone surgery knows that it can be scary thing to prepare for, especially if you're only a kid when it's performed.

@aahedandfamily Aahed has reached out to me recently and let me know that his daughter Iman will need surgery on her feet -- and before that, they'll need to buy a special medical device for her... a costly one.

The only thing scarier than a loved one needing to undergo a medical procedure, is a love one needing to undergo a medical procedure that you can't afford to give them.

Help them cover her medical expenses!

And if you can't donate, share her story!

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

The hibiscus flower is one of the symbols the Sudanese people culturally identify with the most, for its widespread cultivation throughout Sudan and for Karkade, a beverage that is largely consumed in Sudan, made with the infusion of dried hibiscus petals.

If you didn't know, the war in Sudan, which started after the deposition of its last government in 2021, is gravely endangering the Sudanese civilians: millions were already displaced since 2023, entire villages and several millions still face displacement, while all the factions at play in the war continue fighting without any care for the civilian's safety and human rights. Right now, Sudan is largely considered to be facing the biggest and most dangerous humanitarian crisis in the world.

I don't know what Whovian from Ohio needs to hear this, but thanks to Cleveland FanExpo, our lord and savior David Tennant now knows what a buckeye is.

For anyone who isn't from Ohio (I'm not sure how well known these are), the buckeye is our state nut and a beloved delicacy. But the nut isn't the beloved delicacy. The nut is actually poisonous. So instead, we have a candy version made out of chocolate and peanut butter. It's also our state university's mascot. It's also one of the few things I actually like about living in Ohio.

Here's a clip (not mine, props to thee.river):

He did NOT need to start getting freaky bro. Also expect more clips from his panel soon 😝 #fyp #bbc #doctor #doctorwho #davidtennant #david #tennant #fanexpocleveland #fanexpocleveland2025 #foryoupage

Reblog today and you, too, can maliciously comply with facts of science.

yeah look, this is what happens when you start to curve geometric shapes off a flat plane. they stop having the parallel edges we expect of them when they're flat, but they're still the same shape.

see the blue outline? that's the square. you can curl the corners in and it's still a square. geometry is cool like that.

Weirdly Specific Question

Are there any other fans of both Doctor Who and the Kane Chronicles who thought that maybe-probably-not-but-maybe she was going to be Nephthys?

Just me? Cool.

I don't understand how I could devour at least three large books in one sitting when I was in fifth grade but now I struggle to read just one page of any of my favourite books

THIS. This was one of the most heartbreaking parts of going through high school with depression and chronic illness. Losing something so fulfilling (not to mention a genuinely healthy habit) was awful. While physical and mental health definitely contributed to my experience (migraines are a killer), part of it was how my attitude towards reading changed. At a certain point, my family saw getting lost in Percy Jackson or young adult fantasy as juvenile and regressive, so I turned to "the classics". It was about earning approval from them and my teachers, not actual learning or enjoyment. The canon of "the classics" is also deeply flawed (exclusion, racism, misogyny, etc.), but that is another can of worms. For me, learning to read for myself again, even if it's something "juvenile", brought some joy back into my life.

(Again, this is not to say that other factors like mental and physical health do not impact reading, because they absolutely do. I also found that e-books that adjust font size and audiobooks can help. And I obviously was still reading self-indulgent fanfiction in secret.)
