Hey I Love You

okay storytime:

when I was about 10, my little sister was about 7. I had just learned about the placebo effect in school.

for anyone who doesn't know, the placebo effect basically means that if you believe something is true, particularly in regards to your body, your body will reflect it. an extreme case of this is that lady who thought she was pregnant and got a swollen belly, but she wasn't and never was pregnant. a less extreme example is some people in clinical trials are given sugar pills and show improvement in whatever the pill was meant to help with just because they think they're taking the medication.

back to my story: I was 10 years old, I had just learned about the placebo effect, and my little sister would not shut the *fuck* up about her head hurting. so naturally, I lied my ass off and told her that there's a pressure point where if you squeeze your pinky finger it makes pain stop. she tried it and was like "oh my gosh it works!! thank you!!!" and i was like "thank fucking god i don't have to hear your voice anymore" because thats just how sisters are.

flash forward almost 10 years and i completely forgot about this incident until i overheard her telling her friend this trick because her friend hurt her knee or something and I just started laughing my ass off because I guess she just believed me this whole time and was telling other people this miracle cure and I finally broke the news to her and I will NEVER forget the look of betrayal on her face.

anyway I guess this is how misinformation starts??

hey say something nice to me

there is a fine line between esoteric and erratic and I'm walking it like a fucking tightrope

I made something...

ok ok, scene idea for gos2.

crowley and aziraphale have a huge fight. camera shows aziraphale in the middle of the night, pacing around the book shop (which has obviously been repaired), looking distressed but trying to keep busy.

then the camera switches to crowley in his apartment, lying in bed staring at the ceiling. it's like 2 in the morning.

crowley, quite drunk and alone at this point, calls aziraphale, who doesnt answer. on the answering machine he simply says "I love you, angel" and then goes back to bed. camera goes back to aziraphale, who froze and looked at the machine with shock.

I am INCREASINGLY convinced Aziraphale made Crowley point a gun at his head so Crowley would have a sense of what it felt like to be asked for holy water

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus. the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. (source)

Can't get over the subtle element of chaos through this whole video. Also thank you neil, I'm in Florida so I couldn't come to the con in person :(
