"Be careful around that stack of books, it's unstable."
"Stack? It's just one book."
"A book is never only just one book."
"What, all the possible readings of it might topple and fall on me?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Okay."

Five minutes. The timer on his wrist, counting down all his life to when he would meet his soul mate, had almost run out. Everyone said the timers could not be cheated, but maybe you could give fate a hint?
He entered the animal shelter.
"Hi, can I see your dogs?"

Never forget: most of us have been poisoned by a toxic educational system that teaches us systematically that failing at a task or not knowing a correct answer is shameful.

There is no inherent shame in failure, in not knowing, or in being wrong, and we shouldn't actively shame others for it.

Get back up, learn something new, and try again.

when I first ran D&D, my grandmother, who had bought fully into the IT'S SATANISM hype, insisted on sitting and watching the first session

about an hour in, she threw her hands up and yelled 'THIS IS JUST MATH' and stormed off

Sorry I took down Youtube everyone. I'm restarting the Docker container right now.

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)_/¯

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

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

Drive carefully

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

Also I need to get dressed and go feed my sister's boyfriend's cats.

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

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