i see you

Pssst

Hey, are you an artist or writer with WIPs?

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

waiting in deep suspense

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

I am also very curious about this secret

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

hi everyone. the batter will thicken as the flour hydrates. so start it a tiny bit runny and let it sit ten minutes to idk half an hour and it will be perfect. hydrated flour from rested batter also yields a significantly more tender pancake. peace and love

there is still time. there is still time. until your bones are in the fucking ground there is still time.

and then after that is THE SKELETON WAR

IT'S TIME TO FLOP IN THE SLOP

Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳

High level physics is so fucked up it's indistinguishable from epic level magic

My next question would be if storytelling is a part of being a physicist. It does seem like it on the internet.

To some degree, all science is storytelling, because all science is learning and telling the story of the universe to each other.

It's a bit more apparent in physics where storytelling is the most accessible way to share the knowledge, but hearing an ecologist tell you the tale of salmon will move you both to tears. A Botanist will tell you about the friendships between plant s that last generations- and the hot gossip that comes with it. Every meticulous detail on any object in your home is the work of hundreds if not thousands of engineers saying "I love you, let me tell you something that will make life easier-".

– on the storytelling ape | Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, and Jack Cohen, The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

It's stories all the way down.

How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

this seems like a good thing to bring around as people holiday shop

My genius remains unrealised

Every so often this gets another wave of notes, and I will mention “Ah, my snost is getting snotes.”

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.

Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight. 

There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip. 

And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper." 

First day of Master Dooku’s lightsaber class, probably:

かわいい❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

How can he be this cute? 💕

Shoutout to the guy with the white cane at the emergency access door who heard me say "hello sir" and just dropped his head, sighed, and went "this isn't the entrance, is it." Either you're going thru some shit or you're a very funny criminal doing his best and I appreciate that

for the record I am aware that the white guide cane typically denotes low vision, it was just the absolute and immediate total certainty with which this man clocked "polite customer service voice correcting an error" and skipped every stage of grief on his way to acceptance

*showing visible symptoms* oh my god i need help desperately

*symptoms go away for one day* what if im just faking it
