straight edge and compass constructions really are a ritual act. the goal is not to make a perfect construction, which could never exist in real life, or could be approximated (sometimes better!) by imperfect techniques. the goal is to perform a series of movies which correspond to a series of elsewhere-moves, platonic realm moves, which are actually perfect and actually result in a perfect construction. it's genuinely like some kinds of religious ritual in a meaningful conceptual sense

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a blood test capable of detecting cancers, the ways cancer resists treatments, and tissue injury caused by non-cancerous conditions. The new test analyzes RNA molecules in the bloodstream. This type of RNA is called cell-free RNA because the tiny molecules no longer inhabit a cell. There are always fragments of both DNA and RNA floating in blood – byproducts of natural cell death from all types of tissues and organs throughout the body, including cancerous tumors. The researchers spent more than six years developing novel methods to target messenger RNA in blood and then used it to identify the presence of cancers at different stages, to track resistance to cancer treatment, and to monitor severity of injury to healthy tissue.

Today hasn't been very good. Reblog to cover prev in blankets and tell them everything is going to be okay and they're loved.
I find the fact that the closest mountain point on earth to the moon, the highest mountain and the tallest mountain are 3 different mountains to be a tiny bit disturbing

Out of its hard plastic egg
Oozing onto the carpet
Desperately clinging onto every
Single carpet fiber,
Gripping every particle of dust
Refusing to relinquish its hold.
Picking up newsprint
Backwards
Stretching, warping, distorting
The once clean lines of
Reality.
Attempts to contain the mess
Only enrage the sticky monster,
Now grasping onto your fingers
Tainting everything you touch.
There is no barrage of cannons,
No onslaught of arrows.
It just melts into you,
Melds until you are one,
The distinction a long forgotten past
Even washing your hands,
A tacky residue
Remains –
A quiet reminder of the
Chaos you’ve caused.
here’s your sign to stop doomscrolling and do literally anything else
Proudly a nerd. I love unicorns and Rubik's cubes and math and science. Anxious, autistic, queer :)
