Babe wake up. The aurora protons are here
Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

Something I’ve always wanted to do something with; Vampirism as a disability allegory. Vampires being portrayed by society as parasites and burdens and a drain on their surroundings, but in actuality they just have a condition that requires specific care, mutual aid, and depending on other people

Perfect timing 💀😭❤️
It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Talked one hour with my mum on the phone. (Her support ideas were bad btw.) And we talked a lot about autism and she was like "I know this too", "that's how I always felt too". Anyways, could be her other neurodivergence, but I'm looking for books to give her regarding autism. 😭😭

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Orcas be eating Meese‽
Fun (terrifying) fact: Moose are so gigantic, they don’t have any predators…except for orcas. In winter/scare months, moose will dive for vegetation and orcas will eat them!

The real problem is that some murder jokes (by white people, about people who are not Jay) get 3 day suspension
And some murder jokes (by a Black user, about Jay) get unappealable permabans

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.
