AND YET IT WAS REAL

I watched the part with AOC and he was so strange about it lmao I love hbomberguy so much

IT WAS HBOMBERGUY??

he’s always on the strangest shit I love him

Look given how much sleep he was operating on and how much money he raised, he gets to be as weird as he wants

“he’s kinda fallen by the wayside” HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ROBLOX_OOF.MP3 ALREADY?

also i want to make it clear that Harris Bomberguy Brewis was fucking congratulated by the fucking Scottish Parliament for his livestream

dude isn’t even Scottish

The way this entire post goes and you have the tags try and sincerely say Hbomberguy was a relative nobody who fallen to the wayside

The bit that made me cry (still makes me cry) was when a woman came on, and explained her disability and how she had been trying to get a wheelchair, and before she even finished talking it was paid for.

So Hbomb opened up the chat to charity requests, specifically for trans people, and that was going on alongside the official charity stream. The amount of money this stream made, and the number of lives changed, aren’t captured by official explanations. It was a phenomenon.

Didn’t the guy who voiced DK show up on the stream too? Isn’t that a huge part of why “DK says Trans Rights” became a thing?

Yes he did, and I think so.

[extremely brave voice] if Donkey Kong didn’t make me cry when I 🥺🥺couldn’t beat the secret 🥲 levels 🥲🥲 in Tropical Freeze 🥲🥲🥲 then I’m not going to cry now 😭

It’s like idk man, I still wash my paint brushes the way my art teacher taught me how a decade ago. I eat tortillas the same way as the ex I haven’t seen in years. You can fly to the other side of the world and the shop will play the song your dad played in the car when you were a kid and it still sounds exactly the same. My hair grows funny in one spot because I got a scar on my scalp when I was six.

Sometimes I reach for light switches that aren’t there, that have never been there, because I used to live someplace that had a light switch in that spot. And I think maybe life is about repeatedly reaching for light switches that aren’t there. In a few years you’ll be somewhere else, and you’ll reach for the light switches you have now.

This is the funniest tweet I’ve ever seen.

Dude, you can’t just post this without showing what that guy casually described as “a plate of fish and chips”

6 chip twat

this is like the scottish version of that pretentious brooklyn bbq place that gave you 3 ribs and a pickle

I’m very much enjoying every possibility which could have led to this picture:

• went somewhere and paid an extortionate fee for fish n chips fusion and decided to share it with Twitter
• made some fish n chips at home then decided to put it on a nice plate before sharing with Twitter
• got a normal amount of fish n chips from a normal place but then at home decided to put it on a nice plate and left out a bunch of the chips because he thought it looked nice for Twitter
• is on a trendy diet and so he only eats that many chips and decided to share it with Twitter

And, my personal favorite, plus what I think really happened: he got a normal amount of fish n chips from a normal place to post a photo about what a regular normal guy he is, after which there was an ENORMOUSLY lengthy argument about how to stage the photo and how many chips to put in and the end result you see posted to Twitter is a picture of some very cold, gross fish n chips which have been workshopped to death.

oh, it’s worse than that. see that little design at the 1 o'clock position on the plate?

that’s official government dishware. this was a plate served to him at some official function, so british TAXPAYERS paid an extortionate fee for this scottish tory 6 chip twat’s fish n chips fusion, and he decided to post it on twitter to show off.

what a complete fucking knob

There is just so much in this post, everytime I scrolled down it just went places. I was expecting a huge plate of chips and two deep fryed battered cods and just lost with the “more chips than brain cells” then.. then I saw the plate.

Me before seeing the picture: People should learn to ignore Internet trolls instead of highlighting their immaturity.

Me after seeing the picture: wow fuck that guy.

I’m not gonna say solving the insect crisis and biodiversity/extinction issues are going to be easy, but I am saying that after committing to native plants for only 2 summers in a row in even a small portion of my yard, I saw 5 lightening bugs in my front yard today!

They were in no one else’s yards, but they are in mine!

If you can commit to even a few pots outside a small apartment with at least one local milkweed pot and one local keystone species pot, I think you’ll be highly impressed by the bugs you get.

Here’s the keystone species guide I used…

I only recently planted this mountain mint and have already found these cute little native beetles pollinating it 🥰

AHHHHH!!!

Here’s a little bee on my coreopsis!

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

Art vs STEM is a lie created to stop us from turning on the real enemy: business and economics

Arts vs STEM is a lie, the computer that put us on the moon was a loom of woven wires, our space suits were made by hand sewing, we need chemistry to mix paint and we need biology to raise the sheep who make the wool we spin into yarn and crochet or knit or weave and the world is beautiful

Reblogging as a science enthusiast and an artist

I got yelled at by a Boomer astronaut (old white dude of course) because I gave a speech about rewriting STEM to STEAM, to include art.

He was so mad, and so wrong, that I just listened to him until he was done.

Then I said, “Well, some of the art I made inspired a scientist who stuck the landing on Mars, so.”

I know you’re thinking “and then everybody clapped” but it really happened. I just pulled the line from my speech, since it was on my mind.

To his credit, he tried to walk it back. He tried to say that arts and sciences are equally important but separate. While I furiously disagree with that, I let it go, because we both knew I was right.

THAT is when everybody clapped.

I was part of an undergrad research project developing a protocol to turn algae biowaste (algae scraped off of algal turf scrubbers, a tool used to remediate eutrophication aka fertilizer pollution from bodies of water) into a moldable ceramic product as a sustainable clay alternative or supplement. I’m a biologist, my research professor was a biologist, and we collaborated with a ceramics professor and one of her undergrads.

Dudes, I am not joking when I say that the science the ceramics undergrad did was VASTLY more intensive and rigorous than what I, the “real” scientist was doing. I was essentially playing with sludge, figuring out which processing method (diluting and blending it, then pouring into a plaster mold, or dehydrating, powderizing, and reconstituting) was most efficient and made the best product for my purposes (I wanted to make substrate for oyster larval settlement for oyster bed restoration). The ceramics undergrad was taking the products I made (the powder or the play-doh-like reconstituted sludge) and testing what firing and glazing methods worked well with it. She also mixed it with locally sourced clay (that she located and harvested herself) as a way to bulk up the volume but still keep the properties of the natural clay. She was manipulating the ratio of algae to clay, using different amounts of algae powder as a glaze on natural clay, testing different firing methods/temperatures and had replicates of everything she was doing. She took meticulous notes. She formed HYPOTHESES and PREDICTIONS based on the chemistry of the algae (something about the silica in diatom shells and high salt content, I think) and evaluated them with her results. I was in awe of her. Art IS science and art and other sciences need each other. We don’t make progress as a civilization by keeping all of our innovations isolated. When we cross those boundaries and make new connections is when we discover greatness.

Here are some of the sculptures made by our faculty mentors and the ceramics undergrad! Sadly we ran out of algae biomass before I was able to attempt sculpting something myself.

You can read our publication (where the figures came from) for free if you’re interested! There’s also an article about the ATS system where we got the algae from and what those scientists hope to do with it (make biofuel!)
