to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.

just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.

i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape

Sometimes I'm like "Ryland Grace is important #representation for those of us whose dissertations are kind of stupid and bad" and while I am mostly joking, I'm serious when I say it's actually really important to me that he was not proven right. His theories about non-water-based life did not pan out and were never vindicated. ("The Goldilocks Zone is for Idiots" is also clearly in support of this argument, it's not a standalone argument about life in extreme temperature ranges, it immediately registered to me as part of the "you are being limited by your reliance on imagining water-based life" argument, Eridians living at superheated ammonia temperatures does not really "prove him right".) Like obviously you can't prove a negative, of course - there's no way to know if there is or isn't some other non-water-based life out there - but he was not proven right. He was not vindicated in the Eyes of Science. And he keeps discovering cool new things anyway. You live and you learn and you're not always right and That's Fine. Your life is what you make it. You don't have to be married to the One Big Idea you had in grad school. And sometimes you're not right the first time but that doesn't have to be the end of it all for you. Sulking about it does not make you happy or fulfilled, exploring new things makes you happy and fulfilled. And there are always new things to learn. Moving on, exploring new things and being open to new experiences, that's the way to live.

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2025.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

United Front: Breasts Without the Airbrush

The shocking thing about Laura Dodsworth’s pictures of 100 women’s breasts isn’t the flesh on show, or the many shapes and sizes, but the realisation that images of unairbrushed, non-uniform breasts seem to be so rare. “We see images of breasts everywhere,” says the 41-year-old photographer, “but they’re unreal. They create an unflattering comparison but also an unobtainable ideal. I wanted to rehumanise women through honest photography.”

Astrophathers Oneshot/Longfic Ideas

feel free to use them! I’m just spewing stuff outta my brain that I might write :)

Astrophage baby shower. The balloons say “it’s a cell!” on them

slow dancing together on the vatt <3

strangers to qpr roommates AU (Carl works for the local government & ofc Grace is a teacher)

Locally famous boxer!Grace x gym owner!Carl………or boxing fan!Carl…..idk I just want Carl looking at Grace with stars in his eyes lmao

OR they’re both boxers…………..sparing partners

5 times Grace fell asleep at his desk and 1 time Carl made sure he didn’t (can be freaky or cute lmao)

A classic high school AU. Stratt is there too

for a taste of bloodymary (if u want) we could do “because Simon traveled thru a wormhole we figured out faster space travel and now Grace can see Carl again”

something transformers. Transformers show up to earth and use the space bridges to bring Carl to Erid to reunite with Grace. If we go sorta bayverse we can get Simmons and sector 7 in there uwu

childhood friends AU :3

a meet-the-family fic (coltland twins, & my hc for Carl having just a fuckoff huge family)

ummmm sad stuff, Carl grieving Grace after he got yeeted into space

grace yearning for Carl in space and missing him so so bad

what if....... single father!Carl (or uncle who drops the kid(s) off at school!Carl) x the kids' teacher!Grace!!!!!! i think uncle works better for this one tbh

EDIT: I had another idea. Carl gets sick and Ryland “immune system forged in the fires of teaching middle school” Grace takes care of himmmmmm!!!!!! Snuggles ensue (Carl is like “Ry ur gonna get sick :(((“ n Grace is like “baby I’ve survived SIX flu seasons without getting sick I will be okay and I WILL be taking care of you. And taking samples to examine. For microbiology reasons. ILY it’s chicken soup time”)

share ur own ideas in the notes if u want and also tag me if u make art/fic i wanna SEE!!!!!!!!!

I’ve got a bit of a tummy ache rn so one could say I know exactly what Simon’s been through

[wyn-sketch-o-vyn]

Yes, I'd like another bloodymary please.

The DUALITY

[nanadrawsthings]

Another attack I made for @yourredscars!! I love her design of #Simon from #IronLung 🫶🫶🥺

[wazzappp]

Sometimes I wonder if I over exaggerate Simon's Tig ole Biddies too much and then Mr Market Pliers drops this shit. A single valiant soldier of a button, holding the line. Good god.

[alexcaninnit]

i am not at all interested in romantic bloodymary. however. i do believe that that blood freak desserves to be part of whatever the fuck is wrong with adrian, grace, and rocky. platonically. he gets to play straightman to their bullshit
