do you ever think about how if you dive into the ocean and go deeper and deeper you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light, and if you go up into the sky and go higher and higher you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light

i picked up this book on impulse today at the book store and i really love it, it feels like such a treasure to me already. there is so much love and effort put into every single page of this thing, so much information, and you can tell the illustrator really adores insects, each panel has so much personality. and the comic writer definitely understands comic theory, the reading direction is always incredibly clear, good speech bubble placement and excellent color usage when further clarification is required, like in the permian extinction spread (2nd image in photoset).

enjoy this selection of photos i took while liveblogging my reading experience to my partner!! also some more informative photos taken for this post 👇

the book is insectopolis: a natural history, by peter kuper

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

sci fi is all about getting so scared and ripping tubes out of yourself. people miss this

[grocki]

sci fi is all about desperately trying to reclaim your violated bodily autonomy. it’s all about asserting that you are a being with agency, and you can choose what happens to your own person, even if that’s ripping tubes out of yourself. and also sometimes an alien is there

yknow you can really tell a lot about how someone is doing by how their meal rotation is faring, particularly what they are currently considering high effort, but still valuable enough to do on occasion.

for instance, it would appear that basic frozen pizza is now currently a high effort food for me, based on how tired i got just from setting up the pan and getting the food out and putting it in the oven.

and, as for me? heh, well. 😏 im doing maybe not so good myself

one of the things I love about modern physics and astronomy, compare to a few decades ago, is that is rapidly becoming apparent that we do not actually understand the universe as much as we thought we did.

from a red dwarf that appears to be older than the universe, to supermassive black holes forming way too early in the universe, to a supermassive black hole speeding across the universe (what kind of energy could have possibly been used to fling something of that mass at that speed?), to dark matter and dark energy apparently existing but refusing to show themselves, to quantum mechanics and general relativity not getting along despite being our two most reliable theories of physics experimentally, to the weird coincidence that any detector capable of detecting a graviton would have to be so massive it would collapse into a black hole (in fact, exactly massive enough to do so).

a number of these were known facts in the 20th century, but so many of them have built up since then that is throwing our neat little models of everything into chaos. WHICH IS AMAZING, BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT SCIENTISTS CAN NOW MAKE NEW THEORIES ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK BASED ON THE RAPIDLY EMERGING DATA!

also, on a different note, I think it is the coolest thing ever that we figured out a way to DETECT GRAVITY WAVES! just the craziest breakthrough in cosmology since the creation of the telescope, no biggie.
