ambivalent idiosyncrasies

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!

thinking about diatoms again

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

They are so cool, and ubiquitous. Their silica forms deep sea silaceous oozes, which become cherts and they also supply the silica for the flints found in limestones, and diatomaceous earths and diatomites.

yes!!!! I love a good deep sea siliceous ooze..... I have some facial mud mask stuff containing cosmetic grade diatomaceous earth, which is why I remembered them. diatoms really are everywhere. they're on my face.
