i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
no you don't understand. i do international regulation of emerging technologies for a living. this WAS me stress dreaming about work
Computers are very simple you see we take the hearts of dead stars and we flatten them into crystal chips and then we etch tiny pathways using concentrated light into the dead star crystal chips and if we etch the pathways just so we can trick the crystals into doing our thinking for us hope this clears things up.
How does it feel to be the most Galaxy Brained person in this entire thread
Well that certainly belongs on the post
why would this distress you friend the dead star crystal chips are just singing to each other with invisible ripples in the fabric of reality itself perfectly normal stuff
As some one in textiles and coding this makes me very happy
as someone in dead star crystal etching this pleases me

This man is actually willy Wonka and he needs to be stopped. Someone needs to stop him. This is out of control.
Don’t forget this guy also teaches a Chocolate ShowStopper module at his academy
Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart
“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”
This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.
[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:
Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.
We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]
But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation
Please for the love of god. You should be able to change controls WITHOUT TAKING YOUR EYES OF THE ROAD. There is no reason to have to look at a SCREEEN while DRIVING
What if Percy Jackson had been an animated series instead? 👀
THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THIS TAKES???? HOW DOES THIS NOT BLOW UP??? HOLY SHIT

☁️Basic Cleansing Ritual ☁️
Remember, cleansing rituals are personal, and you can modify them to suit your beliefs and preferences. You can incorporate additional elements such as burning herbs or incense, using essential oils, or incorporating crystals if you feel drawn to them. The key is to approach the ritual with intention and mindfulness, allowing the act of cleansing to support your spiritual well-being.
• Fill a bowl or a basin with clean water, either at room temperature or slightly warm, depending on your preference.
• Take a moment to center yourself and set your intention for the cleansing ritual. You may silently or verbally affirm your desire to release any negative or stagnant energies and invite in positivity and renewal.
• Begin by dipping your hands into the water and bringing it to your face. Gently splash the water onto your face, allowing it to cleanse away any stress or negative energy you may be holding. As you do this, visualize the water washing away any impurities, leaving you refreshed and purified.
• Proceed to wash your hands, wrists, and arms with the water, symbolically washing away any energetic residue or burdens you may be carrying. Visualize the water carrying away any negativity or heaviness, leaving you feeling lighter and revitalized
• As you cleanse, you can recite affirmations or prayers that resonate with you. For example, you might say, "I release all that no longer serves me. I cleanse and renew my spirit. I am open to receive positive energy and blessings."

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors
Update:
J.K. Rowling is apparently now filing a defamation lawsuit against someone who made fun of her for saying this, which means its time to spread this like wildfire!
