I now have, to the best of my knowledge, at least 7 first aid kits. Will this number of first aid kits contain the downfall of the chaotic energy exuded as I live life so precipitously? Eh, prolly not. But I have space bandaids now!
None of this is normal or natural. We'd do well to remember that.
40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.
It's 15th February, which is apparently World Hippo Day, so here's an excellent hippo I saw at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris last year. It was designed by François-Xavier Lalanne in 1968–1969, and is in fact a bathroom in disguise! Its body opens to become a bathtub and its head flips up to reveal a handbasin.
Idk when talking to conservative friends I don’t say things like “everyone deserves healthcare” or “women should have the right to govern their own bodies” because yknow what’s more effective? “I’m having trouble getting my medication figured out for the summer because of the new restrictions” or “yeah can’t afford a doctor here so I guess I just deal with the issue lol” once you make it personal it’s not just some nameless person who should’ve managed their money or time better. It’s a friend.
bad news, euclid fans! i just disproved his assertation that parallel lines don't intersect for their entire infinite length. i walked along them for approximately 8.6 x 10⁸ km and you know what i found? that's right, a tangle.
they don't touch for the rest of their infinite length though, i did check. in both directions.

My mom yesterday: why do my kids refuse to try new things? You have to have the exact same bra and the same shoes and the same stuffed animal and the same breakfast every morning and the same brand always! Why does it matter?
And I’m sitting here like mom it’s the inherited mental illness. From father.
