I just suddenly remembered this song by The Antlers, connected it with THEM, and I’ve been on the verge of tears since.❤️‍🩹

Rocky's body is a machine that turns one (1) praise into 10,000,000,000 praises 💕💕💕

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)

Also it's only fair to match the Earth kids love of pet rocks baby Eridian dolls ;)

she needed the junior high school teacher around. not a tertiary science officer.

+ some early years of the astrophage crises

The new humans think this is hilarious and insist on joining the experiment as Grace excitedly yaps about all the cool stuff he’s learned about aliens but he’s still got that high pitched helium voice.

only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isn’t which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like “got youuu” and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life

so when Rocky returns home with an alien who's a persistence predator (more than that, a persistence predator that conquered their planet this way) it's like he revived some eldritch monster believed to have been vanquished

More art of Rocky Stressing™️ about human biology

Rocky, once again, being baffled and STRESSED about human biology and the things his human does to keep healthy i dont think mr "my whole crew died of radiation sickness" likes the fact that his alien and most things on his planet needs it for survival very much xD previous

i've always wondered what human speech would look like visually in the POV of eridians in the same way eridian speech is written as music notes in the book and my favorite version of it i've seen in fics is when words are written as phonetics in rocky's POV :-) oh and also that one post about rocky and grace figuring out random words they can say in the other's language

i know we just met but i’ve been thinking about you my whole life

Julia Angwin, an award-winning investigative journalist who founded The Markup, a nonprofit news organization that covers the impact of technology on society, is the only named plaintiff in the suit, which does not call for a specific amount in damages but argues that damages across the plaintiff class are in excess of $5 million. She was among the many individuals, alongside Stephen King and Neil deGrasse Tyson, offered up via Grammarly’s “Expert Review” tool as a kind of virtual editor for users.

Holy fuck.

One thing about these AI tech bro ceos, they have no concept of shutting the fuck up. It is almost impressive.

This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kids’ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.
