A new comic. A while back, @nepeteaa wondered what night-migrating songbirds thought of the recent aurora.
I can't find the post talking about it anymore, but actually wanting to live for the first time in forever is absolutely terrifying.
I'm gonna turn 30 this year and I spent half of my life thinking "I won't make it to 2 more years", so when I now look behind me, there is nothing, years and years of not looking forward to shit, no planning, no hoping. The void.
And I now I have to build something on sand fundations and waddle around until I can get something stable, and that shit is disabling.
But I am very grateful I don't want to kill myself for once.

"Rings" by ND Stevenson
My absolute favourite comic journal by Stevenson. Made me cry my eyes out. Even when I can't articulate it, it gets to the core of what I think love is.
Maria Skłodowska-Curie's notebooks are crazy once you think about it. They're so radioactive they have to be sealed in a lead box. Imagine a world where atomic theory is forgotten and a dude just goes "yea there's a book that details the secrets of the universe, the machinations of the creation of existence down to its barest essentials, but if you get close to it you fucking die. The more you read it the more your body slowly disassembles into mush." like wat excuse me
i think if any part of your ideology contains "we can and should kill all the bad people and we can easily know what people are ontologically evil" then you're not just a reactionary but a danger to marginalized people. Your "kill every pedo" stance is very easily manipulated into wanting trans women to die. It's fundamentally no different from like, supporting the death penalty and wanting every criminal ever to suffer, wishing death upon drug addicts. it's basic fucking reactionary dogshit. It only misunderstands why harm happens but actively gives you a pass on enacting infinite torture to a group against which you've decided no harm inflicted is too great. We just need to kill all the bad people. and when we've done that, we'll finally have gotten rid of all the bad people.
“No you don’t understand we were wrong last time but this is the ACTUAL ontologically evil out-group we need to eliminate for real this time”
at the end of it, you’re always just the point of someone else’s story, everyone clamoring to say what you were, what you meant, and your thoughts on it all don’t mean nothing.
A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

Well I like that it doesn't take 5 minutes to scroll past.

I like memes that would be funny 1000 years ago.
