8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

IT IS 2023 AND I AM ADMITTING THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF READING EVERY BOOK I BUY. I LIKE COLLECTING THEM. I LIKE HAVING LOTS OF THEM AROUND. I LIKE BEING SURROUNDED BY STORIES AND POSSIBILITIES. I WANT A LIBRARY. I AM NOT A BOOK MINIMALIST LEAVE ME ALONE (WITH MY BOOKS).
@mmhfraser It’s an enjoyable read and I’ve heard the audiobook is really good, so I’d recommend that. Might get more nuance about the relationships if you dive into the book first.
I want a book theme park. I want the shire and Westeros and Willie Wonka’s chocolate factory and I wanna choose my own adventure. I wanna fall down a rabbit hole and stay at The Overlook with a wardrobe to Narnia in my room and the Beast’s library downstairs. That’s what I want.
This is what you’ve waited for.

@edgarrmcgregor I’m so sorry that life isn’t giving you what you need right now. It sounds like you’re facing a number of really frustrating situations all at once and don’t have anyone to vent to about it. I’m just some random person on the Internet, but I’m happy to chat if you need a friend.
New images of my favorite moon, Europa, from the @NASAJuno mission today! https://t.co/DmWavMPALA Look at the topography you can see near the terminator, at the left side (day/night boundary). The dark circle at bottom right looks like Callanish, a big multi-ring impact crater!
I don’t know who needs to hear this but rest is not a reward. You don’t have to earn rest. You need rest. You deserve rest. You are worthy of rest simply because you are a living being. And don’t ever feel guilty for taking time to rest.
For the first time in NASA’s history a woman is taking charge of its historic Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
