I want a No Exit situation for all of them. Stuck in a room with each other, unable to close their eyes, for eternity.

I'm sorry it hasn't made much of an impact, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely love a sequel.

I had to pick between Stargate and Babylon 5 and there were better Stargate gifs available.

Got to recognize the commitment on that: it's 75F outside and she's wearing fur boots.

Paper program for the play Fat Ham with the set in the background. The program cover features a Black woman with braids in profile. The set is a home's backyard set up for a family barbeque.

I laughed so hard at this, fortunately before a sip of my morning tea and not after. *applause*

I've always imagined that Courtney Milan was an excellent professor. This thread explaining the 3D printed whistle supply chain reinforces that.

Making my third Tunisian Lace Shell scarf in as many months. This one was by request...sort of. I had lunch with a friend who admired my gray one and asked where I got it. 😁

Happy to help if I can. I got my BS in Genetics at A&M in 2001, PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology with a specialization in Genetics and Development at UT Southwestern in 2007, and am currently Professor of Instruction in the Bio Dept at UT-Dallas.

I read it this morning. It was very much worth the time.

I'm Texas A&M Class of '01 (and was a 2%er while there).

I took Country Western Dancing! We only did a little bit of line dancing though. It was mostly partnered.

I was a Genetics major who took the whole "well-rounded education" idea seriously.

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

-Intro to Acting
-Molecular Genetics
-Intermediate Swimming
-Quantitative Analysis
-Special Topics in Cold War Intelligence

I'm so glad she's okay. Obviously her life, her body, her choice, but my anxiety brain keeps going "what if it was an acid?" and really wishes she had followed the advice of her security folks and changed out of the clothing.

Alt text: "the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

This series is so good y'all!

I really liked book 1 (currently available for free!), loved book 2, and absolutely adored book 3 so much it felt like it was specifically written for me.
