Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?
3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”
Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”
A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.
A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”
Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

I'm so slow, but NO ONE TO HOLD THE DISTANT DEAD by @klschroeder.bsky.social is a haunting elegiac wonder, a slow dream of empty skies that asks the only question worth asking- what is to be done?
"Let the dead rest, and fight for what we still might be able to save.”
Beautiful unflinching work
holy shit, thank you Ian, its really wonderful to hear you enjoyed it!
Life is too short not to read a book that was written well and by an actual human being.
On the right of the image is a sheer cliff face marked with vertical striations; talus lies at its base. The left of the image is in almost total darkness, and the background is deep space.
This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
It's about 1 km tall.
If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
my work computer is starting to sound like a pachinko machine from all the notifications. i did not appreciate the solitude of working in a lab behind an airlock nearly enough :(
