Hello

when i die i hope i come back as a beautiful microscopic granule of sand

#these are mostly Foraminifera and I once spent a month sorting through thousands of these on a microscope slide#I did resent them terribly for a while but I respect them too much for any of it to stick#they were 40 million years old#their shells hold chemical memories of the water temperature and salinity#so we can use them to reconstruct past sea levels#we can read the shapes of dead continents through the bodies of these creatures#we can track cycles of earth’s orbital precession in space#so I guess even if you don’t get to come back as a beautiful microscopic grain of sand something will (@catadromously )

I will reblog this every time I see it because these are some of my favorite sentences in the English language.

denying yourself enjoyment of things because you don't want to be 'cringe' is the most cringe thing you can do actually. like what are you, catholic?

thrrowing away batteries feels so bad i feel like i should eat them

my sense of humor: getting birthday cards with the wildly incorrect age on it for people
