This works so well. I use it when I get neuroma twinges or insect bites.

Definitely saved my sleep/sanity a few times.

aeiou

Is that Aphex Twin

That’s fascinating and terrifying. There’s a creepypasta in there for sure.

Yeah, I thought that’s what you were insinuating with the /s

Yeah, they’ll be in wild animals and nonhuman fetuses too FFS

I think about this a lot. I think a lot of people simply don’t care. It’s just not something they think about. This ties in with feeling entitled to taking everything the planet makes for humans. Unfortunately it seems to be how a lot of politicians think. Which I suppose makes sense, as what could be more anthropocentric than fucking politics?

I can’t comprehend it, but then I remember that there are people who feel the exact same way about the view that the planet doesn’t just belong to humans. We were supposed to share :(

Hear, hear. Something that comes close to to how I feel about us killing our biosphere is a quote from Paul Ehrlich: “What we’re losing are our only known companions in the entire universe”.

I am so enchanted by all of the weird little lifeforms we are supposed to be sharing our world with. All their amazing intricacies, beauty, and evolutionary history. All of it (but especially birds! Birds are my favourite). It’s so alien to me that people don’t give a shit and, to the detriment of everything else, only care about looking inwards to other humans.

That was a ramble! Quite sleep deprived and loopy over here.

Oh, quite a big change for sure. And you’d be having the exact same thoughts on the other side if you’d taken that language job. That’d definitely be sitting in my thoughts.

That is so interesting. If you’re willing to say, I’m curious about which fields they were?

I had a similar experience with radically switching majors (zoology to engineering). I just needed to know. However, in my case I sensed the door closing and dashed back in. Would’ve liked that engineering money though…

I like the 90s Camries, they have character.

Can I join in and cry loudly in 95 Honda Legend? And parts?! That’s a good one. There are so many dumb little components on this thing that are all taking their turns to die this year.

Binding of Isaac and Steven Universe. Oh no.
