Made my first very own #crochet pattern! And of course, it's as geeky as I am :p

I've always loved the way that ethanol looks like a little creature, so I made an amigurumi version - because why not? Meet Ethan, the cuddly creature that gets you drunk!

Should I continue doing this? There's loads of chemical compounds that have a fun structure to make :)

Not all debates are intellectually honest ones to have

If you come in swinging, saying something like "Academics won't let you question whether smoking causes lung cancer"

Maybe that's because the question has been debated, at the highest level, for decades, and the answers and level of confidence are so accessible that even a small amount of research would uncover them

So you're either a boring contrarian who needs to go to the library or you're politically motivated and dishonest

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got married yesterday! That was exciting.

Seen on a physics department common room's thumbtack board:

"One electron is physics. Two electrons is perturbation theory. Beyond that, it's chemistry."

maybe Batman was propaganda to try to convince people that billionaires, freed of being governed, would be frontline fighters against malicious actors like organized crime

if recent signs are any indication, it worked surprisingly well

For those that came out for #NationalComingOutDay : you're valid.

For those who couldn't, for whatever reason: you're valid too.

Please pass it around / share / boost - this stuff really does matter to me.

doctor who, no spoiler 

The new Doctor Who first episode is pretty awesome. Looking back on it, it did a great job of setting up the New Doctor’s character, introducing companions, telling a self contained story, setting up a longer story arc, AND distinguishing it from previous show runners’ styles. Usually I end up thinking the first episode with a new doctor is a bit meh, but this one was awesome!

So the new Doctor Who seems really, really good? It's a little early to see how the plot shakes out, but Jodie Whittaker is fantastic, and it's absolutely gorgeous, with a scifi fairy tale aesthetic, and a cast of companions with all sorts of potential.

A friend just pointed out that Nimrod probably became an insult when bugs bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd that. It means "great hunter"

I just had the exact conversation that proves we’re all fucked forever, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

"I come from the future," the stranger said.
"Are you here to warn us?"
"The scientists of this age warn you. Thank you for listening."
