I JUST FINISHED THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO READ NEXT. CAN YOU RECOMMEND

All the light we can not see

There ain't no fucking fandom. There ain't no fucking fanfics. There ain't no fucking fanarts. All the normal people are just like "cool book right?" And I am just crying in the emo corner waiting for happy fanfics.

🌸 so sorry for the followers who wanted Victor content 🌸 LOVE YOUR LOVE OF SCIENCE (Vulcan salutes back atcha)! Yup, I definitely get your point about how it may be impossible to apply what we know to be true in this environment to other ones. IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF SCIENTISTS ARE ABLE TO QUANTIFY/UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER ENVIRONMENTS EFFECT STUFF WITH NEW TECH. The only question I have is that if the matter becomes unrecognizable in such an environment, or changes to a certain degree, we would need some sort of deep look into the atomic structure of that object. Or maybe it'll change in a way that it never would in studied environments, (as you said, perhaps absolutely no laws here would apply in such extreme enviornments.) That is such an interesting topic to think about! Like when anthropologist try to study other cultures, they can only present what they understand about that culture through their own cultural view - which will limit them in being able to understand how the culture studied actually functions. So I'd wonder if in such enviornments there may be something going on that we don't even realize is important - or can't measure (like in anthropology if one looked at a culture and not realize the importance of cuticle length for example) So yup, I totally agree with the sentiment that a universal constant law can't exist (since for a constant would need to be unchangeable, and to the best of my non- physicist knowledge there is none) like how would anything be unchangeable? IDK my mind is kinda being blown the more I think about how nothing is ever certain we are just certain about certain things at certain times in certain places. I love how you write about science BTW! Like it's quite simple and it reminds me of my favorite biology teacher's style of writing 😂 (this was probably an odd comment - but she is an amazing teacher)

Thank you for the ressource! Langblr is a lifesaver tbh

OKAY GUYS I DON’T KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN DONE BUT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT BILINGUIS. ya’ll, this site is amazing. it’s a site of free, public-domain bilingual books. and there are SO MANY LANGUAGES. it’s not just french and spanish, but also dutch, mandarin, ukrainian, esperanto and way more. there are only five books but they are all classics and they are all amazing! 

see that? that’s Alice in Wonderland in Esperanto and English. AND IT GETS BETTER. in certain languages, YOU CAN PLAY THE AUDIOBOOK ALONG WITH IT AS YOU READ. it’s also worth noting that you don’t have to have it in english and another language. you can have it in any two of the languages offered. 

anyway, here it is. so please guys, spread the knowledge, because it’s totally great and i have a new addiction. 

Ella Dawson has genital herpes, and she wants to tell you about it. 

She’s not speaking up for the shock value — she’s telling you because she wants all of us to be able to talk about STIs without shame or stigma. When we make it okay to talk about, she says, people are more likely to get tested and less likely to be afraid to share their status. 

In her badass talk at TEDxConnecticut College, Ella tells the story of her diagnosis, how she overcame feeling like “human trash,” and why we need to end the stigma — now. It’s packed with information (and a shot of humor), and if you didn’t already agree with her, you will by the time she’s done.

Watch the full talk or read the transcript here.

(Full disclosure: Ella is TED’s social media manager. This post was written by her boss who is so incredibly proud of how fearlessly she speaks out.)
