Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."
This is what Roerich's paintings look like:
wormless behavior from some of you. absolute lack of dirt and burrowing. rethink
grad school is weirdly psychologically straining. idk how to explain it. But my advice is basically. If you're considering something drastic, also consider things that are less drastic. If you're considering quitting, then also consider threatening to quit. If you're considering suicide, consider quitting. Whatever drastic thing you're consdiering because you're about to fail a class or a candidacy exam, also consider just failing and continuing anyway. You know? It's not waht you wanted, but if you're already considering something outside of the sapce of stuff you wanted, consider all the stuff less drastic than it too
good advice, not specific to grad school
to be perfectly honest the reason i don't respond to pro wrestling fans the same way I respond to astrology fans is because i have never met a pro wrestling fan who insisted it wasn't scripted. it has very little to do with real-world dangers of their beliefs and everything to do with the fact that is just irks me when people won't say that obviously fake things are fake.
if i did in fact meet a pro wrestling fan saying that i would probably be extremely annoyed about it for however long it took to figure out whether they were trying to get a rise out of me or a very weird conspiracy theorist.
Dispel Magic? Uh yeah, I sure hope it is!
David Cleary!
i'm in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden... the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.
Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it's a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.
Semmelweis' wikipedia page speculates about his "mental illness" like oh maybe he had alzheimer's maybe he had syphilis
and like. bro how many layers of propaganda are you on. Like, on the same page they talk about how he was forcefully abducted and put in a mental hospital (for two weeks, because the forceful abduction was so forceful he died from it). Have you... have you really not considered the possibility that maybe there was no major mental illness? Maybe he was angry and depressed because he was surrounded by doctors who were basically murdering their patients because they were too arrogant to listen to him???
ublpck origin my beloved is this really you? I didn't think I could love you more

World Heritage Post
Life path unlocked. He’s a scientist now.
If your dad is telling you in great detail about something he’s passionate about, you’re going to be hooked even if you don’t understand a word.
So now I have to deliver a quiet lecture on the Standard Model every night. He loves lists of things, like all the streets home from daycare, or the train stations between here and Central, so he loves hearing the list of leptons and quarks and bosons.
Anyway, I made this poster for him, based on the CPEP ones we used to have at uni .
Alas I ran out of room for antimatter, colour charge and confinement, but hey, maybe there can be a second poster later.
It’s funny though — on the surface of it, it seems like it must be far too advanced for a 3yo. But when you think about it, quarks and leptons are no more or less real to him than, say, dinosaurs or planets, and he loves those too. And he recognises the letters on the particles.
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the kind and sweet things people are saying about this, thanks everyone ❤️
Addendum: he has really grasped onto the “everything is made of atoms” part of this, so tonight he listed just about every object he could think of and asked if it was made of atoms.
“And my bed?” Yes, and your bed. “And that wall?” Yep. “And the armchair?” Yes, the armchair too. … … “And… the book case?” Y—
“And my home?” Yep, the whole apartment block. “And your home? Oh wait, your home is my home.” Haha, it is. … … “But is it made of atoms?” Yep. “And… [best friend]’s home?” Yes, it is. And [other friend]’s home, and [third friend]’s home.
“Is [yet another friend]’s home?”
Update from the other night:
“Is my… is… [extremely long pause] is my atoms poster made up of atoms?” —Yes! Yes it is.
I have never heard such a contemplative silence. I think the next poster will have to be on the philosophy of referential language.
Update from this morning: after listing everything in sight (mummy? daddy? fridge? milk? cereal? table? etc.) he asks “is [baby sister] made up of atoms?”
yep!
*runs over to her on the floor* *puts face up real close to hers* “HI! YOU’RE MADE UP OF LOTS OF ATOMS! DID YOU KNOW?”
its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,
you cant just put nuclear waste in the ground it might hurt somebdoy :/ put it in the air that everyone breathes like a responsible power source :/
ohhh noooo :( you can’t just produce three cubic metres of waste per plant per year, that’s so little how will anyone notice :( you have to produce 240,000 tons of toxic waste and emit 3.8 million tons of carbon dioxide per plant per year so everyone knows where the danger is :(
Wow.... so you’re telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person...... to save the lives of many people.... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar
fake environmentalist boys be like “oh I don’t like nuclear power, I’d rather keep burning coal”
fake environmentalist boys be like “well what about wind and solar” as if we have to pick and choose our coal replacements
fake environmentalist boys be like “well what about chernobyl” as if all they did was watch the dumb show and have no idea how safe nuclear power plants actually are
fake environmentalist boys be like “well what about nuclear waste” as if it’s an unholy demon that will escape all traps instead of some mildly spicy rock
fake environmentalist boys be like “oh I don’t like nuclear power, I’d rather keep burning coal”
#shitpost but not really
I need people to know that it’s “not really” as in “what Greenpeace actually believes”
“If we have to choose between the risks of nuclear energy where we could nuke the area for thousands of years if I compare that with only the heating of the atmosphere then we choose coal because there is no better alternative,” said [Greenpeace coordinator for the northern German city of Bremen] Wiechmann. But she specified that, “coal can only be the bridge from nuclear power to renewable energies.”
The environmental association Greenpeace has described the recommissioning of coal-fired power plants for the power supply as necessary. “It is bitter, but unavoidable, that coal-fired power plants that have already been shut down go back on line,” said Karsten Smid, climate and energy expert at Greenpeace, on Monday (29 August).
holy fucking shit lmao look at these posers
