Happy Birthday, Sangonomiya Kokomi!

I have long wished to share with you this underwater "secret base," and today I have found the proper moment to invite you.
Whenever my mind grows unsettled, I dive beneath the waves. Watching the jellyfish drift and the fish glide by, my worries gradually fade.
Look, this little fellow seems eager to lead us somewhere. Let us follow in its wake for a while and see where it guides us.

Ube turning into a global "trend" is bittersweet. I love seeing Filipino flavors get the spotlight, but I hope people remember it's not just a purple aesthetic, it comes from real farmers who are often paid the bare minimum while brands overseas get more credit and money.

Also if you're a researcher involved in studying this outbreak I would LOVE to chat -- I designed a CHIKV vaccine and would love to have it developed properly!

I used to like IFLS when I was younger, bc they picked out really interesting articles that could hook even people outside of STEM. Nowadays I dislike how clickbait-y they've gotten.

As someone who's done (peer-reviewed!) research on CHIKV, this feels like fearmongering. (1/5)

[ica 💜 @1caaake]

Anyway, all this to come back and say pages like these really need to be more careful with their wording. The world is a scary enough place as is, let's not add more fear than is necessary. (4/5)

in the PH, we often have a type of noodle called pancit on our birthdays - the long noodles symbolizing long life for the celebrant 🍜

im not a very good cook yet so i settled for the instant kind and dressed myself up fancy 😅 here's hoping the sentiment still stands tho 💕

[ica 💜 @1caaake]
