yesterday in my plant evolution lab we were talking about green algae (the hardcore beginning of all plant evolution) and we were like, looking at all these different kinds of important algae under microscopes and stuff and i had the pleasure of informing my professor about the existence of The Bubble. i only know about The Bubble bc whenever i bring algae up on this blog somebody sends me an ask asking if ive witnessed The Bubble, and if i know that The Bubble is one of the largest unicellular organisms on the planet and they kinda want to eat it/pop it/touch it, and the answer is that i have never seen it in person but i do indeed know about it and appreciate that it is huge and has unique siren-like capabilities in terms of making people want to eat it, pop it, or touch it just by looking at a picture of it. but anyway he was surprised by The Bubble and looked it up himself and was like ‘oh that’s in the sea lettuce class’ (Ulvophyceae). i was like, ‘wow thats some pretty weird lettuce lol’, and he was like, ‘more like a sea turnip’, and i was like, ‘more like the water balloon you break over your salad to make it kinda soggy’. i dont really have anywhere else to go with this post ive just been plagued with thoughts about The Bubble again

behold lads…..Valonia ventricosa, aka ‘sailor’s eyeballs’ or ‘bubble algae’ and also The Bubble that haunts and vexes me. found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide usually on their own but sometimes in groups. it gets used in testing sometimes because it’s a big ass cell with lots of stuff in it, and according to the wikipedia page (because i am no academic expert on The Bubble….yet) this includes it being like…x-rayed, which is ominous. last but not least, also according to wikipedia the skin is a thin cell wall that’s extremely smooth and shiny when clean but still feels hard as opposed to squishy (IMPORTANT INFO bc it looks very squishable and i see this as vital information to have knowing how many people want to eat it when they see it).

heres the specific photo that forms my sleep paralysis demon perception of it

when you're trying to do online school work at home but you can't because you're in a Home Environment and not a School Environment and the Vibes are off and you're crying and shaking because the due date is coming up and you're just sitting there with unfinished work even though the assignment is So Easy but it's So Hard because you were Born Wrong and Dark Inside

Fabiola by Francis Alÿs

Fabiola is an installation of over 300 painted copies and reproductions of fourth century Saint-Fabiola, collected by Francis Alÿs from flea markets and antique shops throughout Europe and America in the last 20 years. They are all based on a now lost original painting by french artist Jean-Jacques Henner made in the nineteenth century.

I saw this at the National Portrait Gallery several years ago and it was startling and unsettling. I’ve never seen anything else remotely like it in concept or execution. 

[sheldrakus]

I can imagine! It’s such a powerful idea, would love to see it in person.

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail

When guys have astrology signs. That’s a feminine trait

It's feminine to be born in spacetime

[selavy]

it literally is though

Europe is currently being burned alive and people still think climate change is a joke. It’s warmer in North Europe than in the middle eastern deserts.

Nearly all northern countries broke their decades old heat records this week.

[frogs-smoking-cigarettes]

Its only in the low hundreds in farenheit??? In America we get that for like a month or two straight every year??? Y'all need to deal is it really normally so cold over there that yall can live with a little heat???

[pillowprincesslexa]

If you’re gonna have an ignorant American attitude then please only stay on American posts. No one in North Europe has an AC in their houses. Stores, animal shelters, elderly houses, no one has AC. the houses are designed to keep the heat in. The people are not accustomed to the heat. A sudden climate shift like this is extremely dangerous to older people and babies specifically.

There are programs being run to inform elderly people what to do to not die in this heat. There was a heatwave in the Netherlands in 2010 in which approximately 500 more elderly people passed away than normally.

[adhoption]

One thing people don’t often appreciate is that the southern US states are along the same latitude as the Middle Eastern deserts, rather than northern Europe. We’re not competing with Texas, we’re competing with northern Canada. If Saskatoon can’t handle Mexican weather, London can’t handle Middle-Eastern weather. It’s not built for it at all.

You know what?

I’m no longer holding Star Trek or Star Wars “accountable” for their clunky-looking sixties-and-seventies future technology.

Why?

Because the Enterprise is off on a years-long voyage through space. There’s no Verizon store, no Radio Shack, no Geek Squad out there. If the Klingons fire photon torpedoes and the bridge shakes and Spock’s head bangs against the fancy iPad72 touchscreen and cracks the glass, the ship’s toast. If Han Solo’s fingerprints get all over the starchart and the touch-calibration is off by half a centimeter, the Falcon is going right into a star. But if Mister Worf accidentally twists the command knob too hard and pops it off, he can just screw that thing right back on and it will keep working. Dust gets in there? Take it apart and clean it out. All the plugs are big and universal, all the power cells are functional and have a decent battery life, and nothing is built to expire in the next six months so you have to buy a new one.

That tech isn’t anachronistic or suffering a bad case of Zeerust–it’s practical, effective, and it works. Apple tried launching its own space exploration craft, it had to come back for full repairs within three months, and then it had to be upgraded over the next two.

But this? This is just good, long-lasting, fully-functional, and reliable craftsmanship.

[alexkablob]

The actual real-life space shuttles’ electronics looked pretty much like that for their entire lifespan and this is exactly why.

[marithlizard]

Oh my god, it all makes sense now. The Enterprise is the spaceship equivalent of a Volkswagen.
