What keeps me going is knowing that the fear of having their wealth taken absolutely destroys their happiness. There are so many invisible prosperous and successful people WHO KNEW WHEN TO QUIT and go fishing.

The sad monsters who won’t have the epiphany they can easily afford to indulge need intervention for their sake and ours.

It’s a participation trophy

There is a cadre of rich fucks that hate wind for some reason. Idaho’s weird-toothpaste billionaire Frank VanDerSloot has a vendetta against them too and uses some of the same rhetoric. Frank is more coherent but nonetheless still uses vitriolic ridiculousness when talking about them.

I know that my engagement in this exercise will not change their opinion. I am engaged because this shit is exhausting and it is exactly the thing to challenge at this moment.

I think it’s time to start wearing these, before they become mandatory again.

A couple days. And not technically, but the box needs to be quite strong. Plus there’s some extra prep work.

kinda gruesome for a joke but you did ask

Ok, you are a sealion, cool, good to know.

Did you know you can mention multiple facts about a person in a biography and they are all valid and mentionable?

I no longer use greasy moisturizers at all and I have very sensitive dry skin that needs help.

Hyaluronic acid is dirt cheap and works by attracting moisture from the air, rather than a coating of something greasy.

I mix a half gram into 300ml distilled water, some lavender oil just for a pleasant scent, and a few drops of a leucacidal preservative made for cosmetics (i make big batches cuz lazy and it prevents bacterial growth). A half kilo bag is maybe $25 USD so I have a lifetime supply.

Even in our insanely dry climate I no longer get itchy inflamed skin in the winter. And it’s super easy to just spray it all over after a shower.

I helped maintain a dermestid beetle colony that was used by a natural history museum to prep specimens for display.

They are surprisingly easy to care for. It was just a large wooden box full of ripped up paper egg cartons. Drop a nice head in there and mist the cardboard with some water. Soon you have a nice clean skull. When not using it, just mist the cardboard once a week. The beetles just hang out between feedings.

For science purposes only, folks

We usually use the word “disappointing” but a competent writer can put a positive spin on anything.

Yes.

Would one question the relevance of a biography that mentioned that an accomplished straight male scientist was a ‘family man’ or that a scientist was also a married woman with children?

Questioning the validity of mentioning that a scientist is queer is identical to the attitude that queer people are fine as long as they are invisible.

It was a biography, biographies mention biographical details. Yet when that detail is ‘queer’, people feel empowered to complain it was even mentioned.

I’m not on the defensive here. I intend to come across as offensive. You tell US exactly why mentioning that a person is queer is not relevant in a biographical sketch.

This is not objectively true.

Did you know that your post, if copied exactly as written into a search engine, would yield a factual answer to your question?

A queer person did some excellent climate science, that’s how the two subjects relate. If you ignore either aspect of the story, well, it isn’t the full story.

Did you know that queer people have a right to exist and that questioning the relevance of their queerness to their work is essentially denying their humanity?

That mark would be more in the area of Rexburg. IYKYK

I’ve been collecting recipes and I keep that lobster pot handy even though I never eat lobster.

So don’t stop talking about them!

Both parent comments can be true at the same time. Fact.

Heretic! Unsanctioned noodles!

My agenda today is a hike with a friend, a quick dinner and to bed early since I didn’t sleep super well last night.

Insidious, right?

I live that movie every damn day
