platforms punishing users (eg removing icons on Tumblr) for not safe for work content or hiding posts behind id or facial rec walls (bluesky and discord now ig) makes for an interesting incentive to just never tag or provide warnings on any media you post with adult themes

in my freshman year of college in 2016 they roomed me with an ex-rationalist and I almost immediately started sleeping with her because I was 18 and she was very attractive, but occasionally she would talk about how we should terraform titan or how machine immortality would could about in our lifetime, and would get really sad if I explained how implausible these ideas seemed so I had to go along with it. she was also really into long-term orgasm denial so it was not a very good year for me

the constable trifled in my affairs so I ambushed him and his associates with a pneumatic cannon packed with fentanyl. it was a flyby affair, facilitated by my marvelous clockwork flying machine

Cannot enthuse enough about looking at the flyers on corkboards. As soon as you start noticing them, a whole world of unique events opens itself up to you. There are always people offering guitar and piano lessons, but I’ve also seen flyers for queer game nights, town hall protests, hiking clubs, live music festivals, student film showcases, indie film screenings, stone carving sculpture classes, Pride events, jazz in the park, genderswapped Star Trek stage plays, bike-a-thons, cyberpunk drag shows, an online asexuality archive… tons of the events being promoted are even free and they’re things I never would have known about if not for a flyer in a café or ice cream shop or park kiosk

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have identified the remains of four more crew members of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated expedition

HELLO

i-am-countess-olivia

I’m so psyched for @alongblank being credited in this research 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats pal!

alongblank

Thanks!

Looks like the cat's finally out of the bag! Last year I was able to assist in identifying 4 (FOUR?!?) members of the Franklin expedition! I researched Bridgens, Young, Orren, and Peglar, and was able to find and contact living descendants of their families who agreed to do DNA tests!

The paper about the three from Erebus is live online in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. The second about Peglar is with the Polar Record and should hopefully be coming soon today! And I'll have something up on my blog about it soon, too!

I’m going to fistfight the sims 4

*my computer crashes with the sound of sims 4 after I downloaded too many halos and dressed my sims up as digital angels and crashed my computer*

nitrosplicer

My fault for making my sims too swagful and eyeless I suppose

nitrosplicer

It would be really funny if that’s actually how my computer crashed for the last time… just because I needed to use the sims to make my silly little characters instead of grading my IRL students’ papers
