Bruh I found your min yoonji artwork on rb and lemme tell you I hit add to cart so fast ❤️❤️❤️ I got the spiral notebook version and lemme tell you bruh I look at it every time with awe. Yoonji said gay rights

In this household we are all gay for Yoonji sorry I don’t make the rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reading Ur tags is a wild ride... Thirsty hoe.. lov u 👌

thank you but i am genuinely trying to find when ive been thirsty in the tags on main recently and im struggling here,,, but i’ll take it thank you 👌

EDIT: ok so i have talked abt three diff idols tiddies recently so thats valid

EDIT PT 2: ok so four diff idols tiddies

Hooooo booooiiii I know u said u don't like twice but they realised a cover of Jackson 5's I want u back and I just love it so much I want to screeeam!!! It's in English AND they didn't change the pronouns!!! (Sorry, but I wanted to tell someone about this and you're the first person who popped into my head)

aaw your enthusiasm is adorable. well that’s cool they covered an english song!

[bang-tan]

I feel like the us should have an interviewee who actually knows who bts is and are a fan of them and ask some güd questions for once! 😣

yeah fucking seriously like LOL MARIO LOPEZ KNEW FUCKING NOTHING ABOUT BTS EXCEPT THAT

 1. THEY HAVE LOTS OF FANS 

2. THEY’RE A KPOP GROUP

3. DO THEY DANCE???? HE ASKED. IF. THEY. DANCE. AT. THEIR. PERFORMANCES.

BITCH DIDNT EVEN WATCH A YOUTUBE VID BEFORE INTERVIEWING THEM

Hello! I haven't seen you around for a while! Is everything alright? 😮

Hello! I see you changed your URL while I was away, congrats!

I’m much better now. I was feeling rather down for a while, but I’m back and so happy to see a bunch of my friends are still here!

I hope you’re having a bee-utiful day 🌺

I found your analysis of the ambassadors really interesting and funny - do you have any other posts like it? Thank you!!!

Hey, thanks! The only one I can find quickly (I tag aggressively but I’m not always consistent, haha) was this short one on the rise of #WhiteJesus in Western art. There’s probably more floating around in my art history tag, and there will doubtless be more knowing me.

I’ll try to tag with #MemRants in the future :)

Hey I'm moving to Twitter do u have an account there? You're too precious to forget :(

i do!! it's starrymelkra and i rlly just rt stuff there bit feel free to follow/dm me 💕💕💕

Hi hihihihihi I've been talking about solar panels with my parents and they said that u cant slap them on any surface bc if they get too hot (from being in the sun too long) then they cease to function until cooled off . I'm just wondering if this is true? Also I live in a very hot place little to no rain and a very harsh sun. It would make sense to build solar farms around here but by my parents info it isnt??? Lov ur blog btw 💕

There is some truth in this, unfortunately, as solar panel efficiency does start to fall if temperatures get too high. But it’s not quite as bad as your parents think. After all, the world’s largest solar farm is in Egypt.

So the thing about solar cells is that they work because they’re made from semiconductors – traditionally based on silicon – and the thing about semiconductors is that they’re affected by temperature. The oversimplified explanation is that at higher temperatures, those semiconductors become more conductive, which interferes with the way they work.

(The more technical and physicsy explanation involves photons being absorbed by the semiconductor, which excites electrons from the valence band into the conduction band – you can read more about that here, if you like.)

Anyway. Modern solar panels don’t cease to function, but when they’re too hot, they won’t work as well. Their ideal temperature is somewhere around 25°C (77°F), but because they’re dark in colour they can reach temperatures of around 65°C (149°F) when in sunlight. From what you say, I suspect this may affect solar panels where you live. There are ways to counteract that effect though. The simplest is to install the panels mounted slightly above a surface to allow airflow. That would help. I’m sure there must be other tricks which can be used too.

Wind farms are another option, of course.

One thing which I don’t see very much of is the idea of using heat engines. Stirling engines, for instance, convert heat into mechanical energy and are more efficient than internal combustion engines. There are also thermoelectric generators which can convert heat directly into electric current (they even work in roughly the same way as solar cells).

Anyway, I’m rambling now. Hope this gives you some things to think about. And thanks! 😊☀️
