If you start reading books again, you’ll feel at least a little better. I promise.

being a dinosaur guy is so funny, you know all these names but typically don't hear them said out loud, so when you hear someone say Pachycephalosaurus you're immediately like "that's not how it's done"

if you read about any biology you can quickly lose touch with what is astonishing and miraculous vs what is mundane, from animals that steal chloroplasts to become photosynthetic, to cloning technology being old hat, to trees that didn’t biodegrade for tens of millions of years, to naturally occurring lateral gene transfer between vastly different species, to the creation of gametes from adult cells, to the ability of some cancers to induce blood vessel growth, to desert shrimp that lie dormant for years, to the sensitivity of human touch receptors, to the fact that human hardware has a latent ability to see UV but their corneas block those wavelengths, to birds that echolocate and live in caves, to human skin being covered in enzymes that destroy RNA, to individual trees becoming genetic tapestries branch by branch, to life forms that gain energy from the electron potential of metals in their environments, to plants that recognize their siblings and adjust their behavior accordingly when growing next to them, to metamorphosis

which is to say. All of it is miraculous. and all of it is mundane. biology is Chaos vs. Order locking horns forever

How to i explain to my prejuice mother (who claims she isnt) that blaming people "moving in from the city" or "the areas gone to crap bc the inter city folk moved here" is inherently prejudice lmao

"autistic people need instructions for every simple task" okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn't work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn't follow them? you didn't see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you're shocked it didn't turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I'm 19 and go rogue? you're surprised the road less travelled isn't fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this

Just gave my friend some relationship advice how i handle my highly suspected relationship OCD in a tangible way when im heart broken..

I compartmentalize my hurt feelings by making compatibility a tangible object like a two ingredient potion bottle. If you're yellow and they're purple, the bottle will still turn brown. Even if you add more effort/ pour more of yourself into this and they adds less.

Belly being terrified that her relationship with Conrad doesn't exist in the same way without the loss of Susannah (which was true of her relationship with Jeremiah) is such an amazing character addition.

She's so, so nervous because she's reflected and identified that the foundation of her doomed relationship with Jere was bonding over the loss of Susannah, and she's afraid the same could be said for Conrad's feelings for her.

Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try And if I get burned, at least we were electrified I'm spilling wine in the bathtub You kiss my face and we're both drunk Everyone thinks that they know us But they know nothing about All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ah, ah, ah) All of this silence and patience, pining and desperately waiting My hands are shaking from all this (ah, ha, ha, ha)
