finally got my government issued gender neutral pronouns.

almost five years ago I marked only this partial sentence in a paper - knowing full well that it was going to haunt me now that Im writing my dissertation (while being not wery good at maths)
Development (2015) 142, 1203-1211 doi:10.1242/dev.114991 spatial heterogeneities is not, and never was, intuitive, - "and the fact that it involved differential equations put off many biologists (and still does to this day)." - By contrast, PI is wonderfully intuitive – even simple coming across as a practical engineer’s solution (no coincidence, given Wolpert’s training as an engineer) rather than an esoteric mathematician’s. Third, even Turing himself acknowledged that

two paths meme. the good castle reads "scaring the CEOs". the evil castle reads "scaring the HOEs". the figure is asked "which way western man?"

currently waiting for my reskin of jhoira, weatherlight captain. will be a present for my brother.
red blue, pali, master of ceremonies. legendary creature, human scoundrel. a dude with painted face, fetish leather jacket and chainmail shirt, lighting a cigarette using a small fire breathing lizard. he stands in front of a shabby fighting pit dug into a desert. flavour text: insane, unsafe, but consensual

intrusive thought of a heron knight sketch
action sketch of an armored lancer, riding a compact but long legged bird with a pointy beak. in the first position, a figure stands at a distance, facing the bird - assumedly just out of reach of the lance pointing to the sky. in the second position, the heron extended its neck to double its length - the distraught figure is toppled, by the peck to its chest, exclaiming a skull emoji

Refusing to utilize a form of influence, is to yield it to others.
modifierd trolley problem. there are three tracks and two trolleys. two tracks have people on them. only one trolley can be switched to an empty track. a person stands back from the lane switch, procklaiming, apalled, "I abhor the trolley system, so I refuse to partake in it":

just so you know; sometimes science does look like hollywood depicts it
a microscopy slide in a dark fluorescence microscope. two transparent, square silicone slabs are stacked on the slide. the core of the squares is illuminated, with crisp blue light, in a way that its reflection looks like its glowing. there are many thin tubes poking with metal pins into the top of the stack. one tube is filled with a fluorescent, green liquid. the object depicted is a microfluidic chip.

"hello, human recources?" meme. the top panel shows an orca sporting a fashionable salmon hat. the bottom panel shows a white man, wearing an ear patch, identifying himself as trump-cultist.

mine will be an unfinished grimoire of synthetic biology
a codon sun painted like a radiant crucifix under the title "the word of god & you". it looks like a parchment manuscript drawn with black and red ink and gouache paint three concentric cicles juxtaposing theory - reality, synthesis - analysis and indictive observation vs deductive observation. an arrow titled "comstructive" points from theory to reality and a "destructive" one vice versa. the lower page has a synthetic quote form norbert wiener and alan turing "scientific discovery consists in the interpretation for our own convenience of a system of existence which has been made with no eye for our convenience at all. unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result."

we finally achieved peak science (some people built a robot that pipets with its mouth)

reading about organ(elle) soup
quote: "if an organism were homogenized, most of us would predict that it would not spontaneously reform its original structure and return to life (1)."
