Really unfair that I can't write my edit my current WIP and write my new WIP and also outline my abandoned WIP and also brainstorm all my potential WIPs and also catch up on other people's WIPs and also just read fic in general all at the same time.

it’s a cruel summer with you by stclenlullabies

She can’t remember the last time she wasn’t drowned in work, when she was truly happy and felt like herself.

Actually, scratch that. She can remember.

Three summers ago, in Dubai, with Fezco O’Neill.

But that’s a phase of her life that she can’t find her way back to, because they haven’t spoken since, so she shakes the thought away and sips her coffee with a frown on her face.

The "Squid Game" critique is also a love letter to a unified Korea

What the west doesn't understand about Netflix's hit show is that much of it is a critique of the US influence

Nearly all animals use mucus to cover tissues that are exposed to the outside world...a Great Wall of Mucus that stops wayward microbes from penetrating deeper into the body. And if that wasn't deterrent enough, the wall is manned by viruses. When you think of viruses, you probably think of Ebola, HIV, or influenza; well-known villains that make us sick. But most viruses infect and kill microbes instead...bacteriophages- literally, "eaters of bacteria"- or phages for short...have a mutually beneficial relationship with animals, including us. They keep our microbes in check and we, in return, help them to reproduce by offering them a world full of bacterial hosts: Phages are 15 times more likely to find a victim if they stick to mucus. And since mucus is universal in animals, and phages are universal in mucus, this partnership probably started at the dawn of the animal kingdom.

I think nothing makes you feel dumber than being a decent bit on the outside of being intellectual where you recognize you aren't smart enough to add anything meaningful to something and have the sense not to voice something anyway, but like ough I wish I have the beginnings of an idea rattling around in my chest

how did NBC go from being cool with showing ass and sideboob on ER to making Hannibal blur out buttcracks with blood
