K2-18b. We urgently need to get our shit together about life detection — Girl & Kat We have not discovered life on K2-18b. We have not even discovered water on K2-18b. All we can say is that the planet does not… not… have an ocean.

People. We have not discovered life on K2-18b. We have not even discovered water on K2-18b. 🛰️🔭

It's time to get the marigolds out 🧽, clean up the garbage headlines 🗑️, and start thinking about how we should be discussing life detection for extrasolar planets 👽.

shamelessly throwing the greatest hits of my twitter alt at the wall to see if anything sticks

im at the delusions of grandeur. im at the hating myself. im at the combination delusions of grandeur and hating myself

the only reason they put elizabeth stevejobs in jail and not elon musk is sexism. i am not joking this is 100% my opinion

seeing what has happened to the humanities, I am seriously worried that basic science is the next direct target of the defunding of higher ed, public education and public research

restaurants near you: fourteen chickfilas, nine popeyes, eight outbacks, and something called big gary's meat emporium. 107 miles away there is a chipotle. they are out of sofritas and guacamole

hypothetically, would it be gauche to use an unclaimed invite code to make a shitposting alt

every miri galaxy image looks like some combination of 50s scifi art and eldritch horror. can't get enough. team miri all the way

i think the straw that breaks the camel's back on twitter for me is actually gonna be the surge in extremely credulous ufo/*vi l**b rubes ... i simply cannot stand it

wait so what is the deal with baldur's gate? is it just like skyrim but in forgotten realms, or more d&d style mechanics?

although allegedly there are some really nice (but also rich people so maybe expensive?) places in monterey

tragically this is purely a weed t-break pun shitpost lol I have never touched a golf club in my life 😭

taking a tee break (putting my golf career on hold)

with each new tech horror, I think to myself, you know what, the luddites may have been right about everything

for sale: side project. never finished

me to me: "you have too many projects and responsibilities right now"
me to collaborator in a meeting: "oh yeah I can take on that to-do item"
?????? why did i do this

twilight princess side quests: talk to all the cats in that village!
botw side quests: bring that lady a refreshing drink!
totk side quests: hunt that rare frog species to extinction for the sexual gratification of this obviously psychotic man

i would estimate ~60% of my scientific achievements (such as they are) are attributable to power imparted to me by the music of pop goddess Cher

gnawing on a stale "artisan" trader joe's bread loaf like im an 18th century pirate, call that s'arr'dough

yes we want to see the ocean critters!!! feels like until there are more ppl on this one double-posting will stay fine

went on insta for the first time in ages looking for an old photo. first thing i saw in my feed was an ex (from long ago) recently visited the city I live in now, which was a strange image to process - like deja vu from an alternate timeline.

at what point will it become unacceptable to just copy and paste posts between here and twitter lol

tired: setting aside more time to play d&d with actual people i know
wired: forming a parasocial relationship with brennan lee mulligan

me? writing a d&d campaign that i can't even remotely conceive of having the time to run?? never hahaa *furiously closes 17 open windows of adventure ideas and lore documents*

moving from being on priv on twitter, to here where total randos like your posts, is absolutely surreal lol

too bad ppl my age didn't get to name fundamental particles, instead of neutrinos we'd have smolbeans. "yeah can we have 50 million dollars to build a smolbean detector" "supernovae emit huge numbers of smolbeans!" what a world we could have
