i CANNOT express how much more lovable my friends are to me at their most annoying. i'd rather hear the same story 3 times than not at all. i'd rather read a 22 message text rant about something totally inconsequential than not hear from you all day. i'd rather you tag me in the stupidest post i've ever seen than not know that it made you think of a conversation we had a month ago. BE ANNOYING AT ME. I LOVE YOU

the grinch is fucked up right. he was created specifically as a critique of the commercialization of christmas, but now all his edge has been sanded off. now he's a generic mascot for "hates christmas," which is great to have because the commercialization of christmas has become so overbearing that that's a demographic you can market to! and now he's just part of the Christmas Fold. he's santa's edgier joker counterpart. he has become the very thing he sought to destroy. back in november i checked out a customer with a $1100 order and most of it was grinch merchandise
playing bewitching sinners. and it's a very decent game. i like how who is the villain and the saviour is left gray and nuanced. witches have a complex role as both antagonists and victims at once, and the priest lands that people train in are full of corrupt stories regarding nobles, inter species discrimination/ unfair hunting of other species, and the way in which the priests use the same magic as witches is definitely food for thought.
i just started playing, but it's got a very rich and interesting lore and storyline. the mc can also change appearance and pronouns which is cool.
Absolutely living for the library books too, that information is hella juicy

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas
People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively
“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.
So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It's like "I'm just a girl" but for animals.
We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.
Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English
VERY important addition oh my gosh,,,

The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think
It’s a 24yo Tomy SS-325 if it helps, it beeps once when it finishes counting down and beeps again when it finishes depressurizing, the steam is about 90-100c by then iirc
#top loading autoclave??? how do you get your trays out without toughing the sides?
With its basket! It comes with two of them
What's an autoclave?
Are those ink markers?
It's essentially a superpowered pressure cooker designed to get hot and high pressure enough to kill EVERYTHING. Including mold spores. They're used to sterilise equipment.
Those aren't markers, they're tubes of fluid that OP wants to be sterile. It's common practice to autoclave things like nutrient broth before inoculating them with bacteria, to kill off any contamination and make sure that you only grow whatever you put in there to grow.
Fun fact: you can totally sterilize equipment with an instant pot in a pinch. I know this because my lab lives in a psych department so there's no goddamn autoclave in our building, so we were using an instant pot for some time until EHS decided they were not comfortable with it and were willing to cough up for an actual autoclave.
You want to use a biomarker to verify obviously but that's good practice anyway.
Instant Pot doesn't let you open it until it's depressurized why does Elderly Tommy the Murder Autoclave omit this feature.
New candidate for favorite uses of the English Language: ^
Now that I open the notification, I think it's safe to assume prev is talking about the autoclave itself, but this was a delightfully whimsical thing to get in my activity feed
it reads like a little old lady going "oh my stars, new uses of the English language! Well, times do change."

Multiclavula mucida monday (its tuesday). Please enjoy.
Happy Multiclavula mucida monday (it's tuesday) to those who celebrate!
@lichenaday I know I submitted this but I have also heard lichen people say this isn’t a lichen, and mushroom people tend to say it is. Whats the deal?
SO it depends on how you define a lichen: as a discrete lineage of ascomycete fungi that have evolved to form a composite organism with a photobiont (sensu stricto), OR a lifestyle that fungi have evolved to adopt where they form a composite organism with a photobiont (sensu lato). M. mucida is a lichen in the sensu lato since it is a symbiotic relationship between a basidiomycete fungi and a photobiont, but not in the in the sensu stricto where "lichens" refers only to the specific lichen-line in the ascomycete fungi. So you could say that M. mucida is a lichenized basidiomycete fungi to be the most correct (or a pedant), but say its a basidiolichen or lichen and still be mostly correct. We keep trying to define shit and fungi just keep fucking with us so like everyone is right and maybe no one is and we're all just doing our best, man. If someone wants to "um actually" me about what is and isn't a lichen in the sensu stricto vs sensu lato I am likely to shrug my shoulders and say "OK."
uh oh
