And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

This watch hinge laptop I got from work in 2017, that travelled to Germany and England with me, just finally this year gave up on its battery.

Thanks for the tag @hawkeykirsah <3 I was on a stretch of shifts and time got away from me.

My assigned word was ANGER. Taken from my newest WIP Mass Effect BAaT story.

A - All he wants is to peel off his soggy fucking clothes and hide under his covers for at least a week.

N - Now he can't wait to get back.

G - "Gagarin Station."

E - Even if he does find a way to contact his parents, what the hell are they going to be able to do about it?

R - Rahna's voice is breathy, like she's almost scared to put her realization into words for fear of making it true.

Tagging @shadoedseptmbr @masweird and anyone else that wants to. Zero pressure

V- Vasar exhaled. “It’s been nothing but a brimmed glass of stercore, as soon as the Spe made it through the wormhole."

A- "Asher, can you grab me the tongs?" Ciel asked, interrupting his rambling thoughts.

N- "Now I need you to shower, I only want to taste you and me."

I- IA on the hunt, Miller. Keep tabs on Alcoa, may try to win points with Quaker. Grumman.

S- Shoot fast, leave a sexy corpse.

H- “Help me search through these, I’ll send you the barcodes I’m looking for,” she ordered, sending him a long set of numbers.

owning or god forbid using tote bags is performative, apparently, so that's another strike against me. enjoying matcha is bad for reasons that are lost on me since I'm not a coffee or tea guy, but I assume that if you are then the nature of matcha sins is probably totally rational. making playlists is bad, taking photos is bad, somehow even decorating your house with the photos you've taken is apparently bad. having a labubu also is suspect, and while I do agree broadly with criticism of overproduced and overpriced fad items that are inevitable landfill fodder and operate as a shadowy gambling system that's a solidly gender neutral criticism, whereas the issue here seems to be that a man engaging in an act of silliness is innately suspect.

it's really giving this tweet if I'm being honest

Like reading. Having a good collection of books (it was bigger, but I had to sell some to make rent, it hurt). Enjoying tea regularly. I'd probably enjoy some matcha but I tend to stick with what I know because I already enjoy it (raspberry-pomegranate non-caffeinated with lemon zinger). Playing with my small child while also not forcing her to be interested in the same things I am (though that would make logistics less challenging perhaps). Being a goofball. Not spewing blood and testosterone because someone took my parking spot. I wear glasses. I get squeamish about things in my eye (or other peoples eyes), and that's a fairly public fact.

It's made a lot of people who have strong opinions on what men are supposed to be seen doing (or not seen doing, how dare we be literate in public?) and how men are supposed to react, especially since I work in a testosterone factory a.k.a. a gym. But few people have tried to make me change to fit their views. And I kind of blame the ears, or thank the ears (even though it actually affects my hearing). I tell people all the time I don't watch hockey (which is the preferred sport for the area I live in), and the line of questioning ends there most of the time, instead of the typical barrage that other people get.
