We've all seen this cartoon a thousand times and I'm always struck by how relevant and accurate it is.
Lemme share my own Quartz moment.
My degrees are in organic chemistry. When I was doing my undergraduate research project, my mom asked me what it was about. My mother is a smart woman but has zero science education.
I thought, okay, start simple. So I drew this:
I opened my mouth to start talking about the project and she stopped me and said:
"What do those lines mean?"
I just sat there mute, utterly wrong-footed. This is a totally reasonable question, but to me, it was like I'd written a word and she'd asked me what the letters meant. This notation (standard molecular drawing notation) is so second nature to me that it's every bit as natural as writing English.
I had not fully appreciated how far I'd need to downshift to explain this. A friend of mine on the same project was asked to give a talk to a group of non-science folks about what we were doing and she made slides with overlays to let them know what the notation means.
The above notation is shorthand for this:
The lines are bonds. The single line is a single bond, the double line is a double bond (well...in benzene technically each bond is 1.5 bonds but this is the usual way it's drawn even though it's not really accurate). Each corner is a carbon atom. We don't draw the carbon atoms unless we're calling attention to them, and we leave off the hydrogens entirely unless they're significant for some reason, they're just understood to be there.
None of this would be obvious to someone who's never taken chemistry. But I had to remind myself of this, and my mom's question knocked me for a loop for a second.
We got it sorted out.
This really becomes an issue when there are news events having to do with science. Vaccines come to mind. People have HEARD of DNA, but they've barely heard of RNA, and even if they have, most don't understand it, or what it does or what it means. There was a lot of effort put into making analogies and cartoons and other tools to help explain how an mRNA vaccine works, but too many people still hear it and think SCARY.
And don't get me started on those "if you can't pronounce the ingredients, don't eat it" idiots with their naturalistic fallacies and woo-woo pseudoscientific snake oil bullshit YES I TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

I forget if I showed the beautiful Tyrian purple that they made in the synthesis chemistry lab that I collaborated with at the art museum. They’ve been synthesizing mostly blue pigments and dyes from throughout history. This was my first time seeing Tyrian purple in person and I was so excited!
Historically it was made from murex snails and was hugely expensive and used by royalty, but chemically it’s similar to indigo so the class was able to create it in the lab without snails.
universal rules ftw!

heh. didn't even stand a chance.
to everyone in the notes asking for a translation: panel 1: "weigh your heart" (the suffix pronoun for heart should be .k not .ti i think but i see what you are going for. also, my copy of faulkner doesn't have a copy of the word but it's pretty clear from context what it means) panel 4: "what"
anyway op good job this is really funny and better than 99.9% of hieroglyphs on the internet
@thatlittleegyptologist
xAa is 'to throw/dispatch/abandon' because fAj is the verb 'to weigh' (this can be checked on the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae), .tj should be =k as already pointed out.
Thus with xAa as the imperative 'dispact/throw', the scales determinative doesn't belong to that word and is thus a word in and of itself the 3-consonant jws.w (the .w is just a plural, it's still 3-consonants), and then .tj which should be =k.
It's more: xAa jws.w ib=k 'chuck your heart on the scales' *ma'at gets obliterated* ptr 'what'.
As an aside; it's not good practice with Middle Egyptian to go 'we can infer this from context' when you can't find that word in one dictionary. You should be consulting at least three. Also, because my ass has been doing this for nearly 20 years, just so you're all aware xAa is in Faulkner:
This is page 183 of my personal copy of Faulkner's Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian. xAa is right there! You'll see that the picture of the entry for the TLA also cites it as FCD 'Faulkner's Concise Dictionary' 183.
You know the art is good when the academics start getting spicy in the notes
This app is gonna be bad for me. Day 3, considering pivoting to Ravioli Facts Blog
A small wedding
Thinking of whoever made the "Nipple Fix for Titty Robes" mod for DA:O, to give exposed nipples to the daringly low-cut Tevinter male robes. Magisters do tits-out magic, full stop.
marathon is very fun but I think it’s very important that they made Durandal hot the game would not be as good if they didn’t make him a little sexy y’know
Durandal's shame on Mars was that Bernhard Strauss made his avatar an uggo.
But Durandal was a hot fuckboy over IRC chat terminals in 1994. He would never tolerate NOT being hot in 2026
I think that most Americans of a certain age had their first exposure to ravioli through Chef Boyardee.
How is it that *that experience* - the soggy little mystery meat lumps in tomato-flavored sauce - caused so many of us to decide that ravioli is the shit?

More about Nora!

I love it when a researcher from a marginalized group proves an important point.
fly! fly! there's a waiter in my soup!
This post has soup in it!! Very good.
.... did this get recommended to me because I tagged my first post #soup?
idk anything about this but I love it
If we're going to class foods by their shape, let's get fully topological. It's about the number and degree of inclusions, not relative position. Among foods with two distinct components, a piece of celery and a carrot is Group 1,1 : two things next to each other. This is also the group of a taco. A bologna sandwich is Group 2,1. An egg is Group 1(1): one thing with one other thing inside. Cereal, a chocolate chip cookie, and all other 2-component soups are Group 1(n). Except matzo ball soup, obviously.
