not to come on too strong but I've been fantasizing about napping with you ever since we first met

look at the republican calendar and see which animal/plant/item is associated with your birthday ok. if you're born january 14 you get the day of the cat

solidarity for everyone who was born on the day of the cistern or the watering can or something like that

one of the most challenging skills i've had to learn as an adult is the art of figuring out whether i'm proportionally annoyed with someone or just tired and overstimulated and looking for reasons to be pissed off

congratulations to the only post i've ever had breach 100k notes without any real discourse or fighting, just a lot of people wearily going, oh, god, same

Yesterday I was training a student intern in my lab and ooooof I did not have the bandwidth for that! As far as things go, he was good. He didn't do anything particularly wrong or cluelessly, he was just learning a new test. One problem was that the sample tapes we were testing were incredibly thin and flimsy, so it was really easy to accidentally fold or wrinkle and then it would stick to itself and ruin the sample. I'm particularly deft and precise with my hands, so needing to just sit there and watch this guy fumble these delicate little tapes was very frustrating.

Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYINGGGG

Feeling physical exhaustion as a psychosomatic reaction to things that feel daunting or intimidating is such a ridiculously counterproductive thing to do. Like there's a situation that requires you to be alert and mentally present and paying attention, and your brain just goes "hey I don't wanna. I don't wanna be here. How about going unconscious instead. No fuck you we're warping out. Night night."

Like I would appreciate more information than just "hey there was something but no worry I already pulled the alarm. wdym you need to know what it was. no we don't. we don't have to deal with that, I already pulled a full emergency shutdown." Like bitch yes we fucking do. The fuck did you do that for.

I sure do love having a Task™ to perform that is important and time sensitive and my brain going OH, WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT ACTUALLY, WE'RE SUDDENLY VERY SLEEPY YOU SEE. YOU NEED A NAP VERY BADLY RIGHT NOW. I WON'T LET YOU FALL ASLEEP WHEN YOU GO TO BED LATER TONIGHT EVEN IF YOU TRY TO POWER THROUGH THIS BTW.

unrestrained summer fun

This is one of my favorite things and I am always excited to see a new one.
