mad scientists should understand that your assistant does not solely exist to serve you. you serve each other. your skill sets and quirks complement the other’s. you have difficulty with a couple of calculations often required of your work, so your assistant jots them out themselves. your assistant’s hands have a tendency to shake, so you handle the more delicate aspects of certain experiments. you both take over when the other has tired from hauling corpses or quelling upset specimens. you bring each other food and drink in the wee hours of the morning, when you have been too focused on your research to even begin to think of anything else. your assistant throws a blanket over your shoulders when you pass out on the lab bench, so you gently carry them off to bed the next time you see that they have done the same. you are the same, you are equal. you have so much to discover together.
I LOVE space and I LOVE space exploration. What I do not love is gilded plutocrats rocketing off into space just for kicks and clout. It’s a grotesque display of inequality. A space race between billionaires is morally unjustifiable in the face of a suffering planet.

sorry they're doing what with llama blood?
this is your reminder to start slow and gradually lean into consistency rather than to change your entire routine one fine day. it's okay to start wherever and whenever you feel ready. please don't compare yourself to the highlight reel of people on social media. i promise it's never too late to work on your goals. you don't have to make a drastic change just because it's a new year. time is a social construct and i want nothing more than for you to truly enjoy life at present without worrying too much about the future. you are completely able to achieve goals you have set for yourself, but take it step by step. please avoid burnout and please take rest. wishing you all the best!!
the hardest thing about being an LGBT person in the chemical or life sciences is refraining from making a shitty joke every time terminology contains "trans" "cis" "hetero" or "homo"
habit of oversharing yet people know nothing about me
i need!!! to be in the forest. run my hand through a little stream. climb over a fallen tree…maybe sit down on a stone and forget about society for a bit
