Oh what’s that? You only read books with lots of “spice” in them? Well then I’ve got a great one for you, practically the whole plot revolves around “spice”. Ahem. In the week before the departure to Arrakis,
ALTi saw this sign in a bookstore and it made me laugh so hard :’)

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart
She’s on YouTube too! For non-Instagram using friends:
I love her, she’s great. Her recipes are friendly for both physical and/or intellectual disabilities. And her 5-year-old helps her cook. 🥰

there’s this phenomenon i’ve noticed on youtube which i dub “man math” which is when men STEM-ify hobbies/activities/art forms in order to make them more masculine. it’s very noticeable in the cooking video sphere where there’s an endless stream of videos made by men along the lines of “the SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN best way to cook an egg” (and dgmw, i watch them and find them helpful, but the observation stands), but i notice it also in the way men approach ceramics (a lot of focus on mold-making and slip-casting to perfection, basically reinventing one man mass-production rather than play and discovery), tailoring/sewing/knitting/textile art, gardening and other nature-oriented hobbies, interior decor, furniture making and woodworking, journaling/planning/productivity, even drawing and painting, there’s always some man math angle to it that although interesting it often strikes me as some sort of overcompensation to move away from the inherent vulnerability that comes with art making and once you notice it it’s literally everywhere

I’m curious how many folks didn’t get the pun in Adam Smasher’s name until reading this post because we typically don’t call particle accelerators “atom smashers” anymore.
Being real i didnt think it was a pun i just thought he was called that because it was The 80s
The two coincide more often than you might think – a lot of obnoxiously edgy 1980s villain names are also goofy wordplay.
At first I thought “who doesn’t know particle accelerators are sometimes called ‘atom smashers’” and then I realized 1) that most people are only broadly aware of the existence of particle accelerators and that’s the nerdiest thought I’ve ever had, and 2) even I primarily know particle accelerators are sometimes called atom smashers because of the DC Comics superhero of the same name, who fucking no one else knows
In my experience, your average layperson is possibly aware of individual particle accelerators from having seen them name-checked in news article headlines, but doesn’t know the term “particle accelerator”, and isn’t aware that, for example, the Large Hadron Collider is part of a specific class of devices and not just a weird one-of-a-kind contraption. Heck, they probably couldn’t even tell you whether the “large” in LHC refers to the hadrons, or to the collider.
Well now I need to google if the L in LHC refers to the H or the C
Okay, it’s called the Large Hadron Collider cause the Collider is Large (27km circumference)

I have started unironically doing this. It is DEVASTATINGLY effective. You make friends SO easily.
Stop wishing people would do this and be the person who does this.
i’ve done this. “hi i’m nick, i read a lot, mostly science fiction, yea i shave my head, people say i look like one punch man”

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who’s my best friend in the world and recently he was like “you’re too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!” and I was like “a niece might be more up my alley” and he just got more excited and said “ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful”
OP the tags!!
