my cat just puked and then started eating his own puke so we put him in the timeout room for being gross
I’ve always kinda wondered about the places I visit on a daily basis that aren’t really special, my dorm, the theory workroom in the physics building, the observatory control room. Like, because of the stuff I work with and the research projects I work on, what if that room becomes this place like “this was the place where ___ was discovered at 3am by a team of teenagers with radio telescopes” or “this is where some of the greatest scientists of the early 2000s set up their office” like what if we find something cool and then 30 years from now there’s gonna be pictures of us as kids with wild colored hair and bags under our eyes and empty pizza boxes in the background on the internet and people are gonna be like “those were the days where great things happened in that place” like, I think about that a lot.

If you took advantage of the second Amendment then you’d be safe in all of those places.
Actually you wouldn’t. Bringing more guns for self-protection doesn’t guarantee you’ll be safe, it only guarantees there’ll be more bullets whizzing through the air that you could get hit by. And would you really trust inebriated club-goers with weapons that could kill? Or children, for that matter? Let’s say you’re kneeling down in a pew to pray and notice that the guy to the left has a semi-automatic laying on the bench, pointed at you. Is your first reaction going to be, “oh, I’m so glad he can protect me in case someone decides to do a mass shooting here,” or is it more like “why did he bring this massive gun into a place of worship oh god is he going to kill us?” Guns make people uneasy, which makes them more likely to use violence. It’s always better to take away the gun from a shooter than to arm a civilian and hope they have the guts and the speed to take the shooter out.
Portland has a Doctor Who themed bar/restaurant called The Tardis Room where they do all the stuff superwholock kids talk about like serve themed food and have trivia nights and according to almost every review its one of the worst places on earth
my favorite review started cold with “it’s sadder on the inside”
This is America, this is the ideal. All different kinds of people from many different places with different religions and cultures and identities all in close proximity. Look how relaxed they are with each other, all these strangers. This is what is great about America. This is NYC where Donald Trump is from, they are all at ease, they could be in a living room together. We are sharing our public transportation. 4 blocks from Trump Tower. This works. We live peaceably together and our lives are richer because of each other. Don’t buy the lie that somehow these differences mean we don’t love the same nor want the same things for our children and friends. Incidentally the most diverse states also happen to be the strongest economically and socially. This is the great American experience. This is what makes America great. Not our divisions exclusion and hate. Don’t buy into the lie. #standingForLove #RejectHate
My aesthetic is white walls and dark oak trim and maps of everything and lots and lots of plants
my favorte thing about college is that I’m with a group of people now that just go places just to explore and we end up at these strange ass places like these super eccentric coffee shops or weird little antique shops that are ran by equally weird people and these other really homey places where its like time doesn’t exist and ugh i love it this is my fucking aesthetic
Why buy expensive plants when you can work at your unis botany lab and “accidentally” bring home 23 individual succulents/rare plants over the course of 2 years
I’m literally so pissed one the lab’s machines stopped taking data and I’m the only one on my team in town right now so at fucking midnight guess who gets to get out of bed and drive to the lab in sub zero temperatures to go to a cold ass lab because we have to keep the machines at 4K and make sure this 3 million dollar piece of fucking ice garbage idiot machine hasn’t killed itself I’m so pissed I’m livid
