You can find me either genetically modifying plants or writing escapism fiction. Currently working as an assistant astronomer in the rainforest because why not?

I'm honestly shook that someone sitting on a horse who couldn't figure out how to make a wheel move without said horse somehow came to the conclusion that they could use the sun to make paintings that were never painted

There is actually genuinely in fact nothing in the world which tastes better than mushrooms

After how many emails are you allowed to stop saying "Hi, Name" at the beginning? 5? 10? 50?

Let today be known as the first time I was ever asked if I have kids

Just searched up a recipe for oatmeal cookies and there's a high altitude adjustment baking note in it and it's so damn considerate thank you quaker oats

The rhyming here is entirely unintentional

I hate it when I talk about a story I'm writing and the first thing anyone asks is if I'm going to publish. What if I just want to write even if it doesn't glean a profit? What if I don't want to deal with the stress and just keep my story close to my chest like a secret instead?

I love sci-fi but my first reaction to humans stepping on a newly discovered planet with their helmets off is still to silently scream about how you can't vaccinate against unknown pathogens and oxygen isn't the only space concern what about space diseases oh my god you dumbasses

Just impulse ordered forty Aussie Bites at midnight and I have no regrets (yet)

@hapa_ethnostate My cousin called me choom over text the other day and I had almost convinced myself it was an obscure Armenian or Persian endearment I'd somehow never heard by the time he told me where it was from

This whole time I thought ACAB meant Assigned Child At Birth and I could not for the life of me figure out what the fuck that was supposed to mean. Nonbinary? Anti-child? Accidental baby acquisition? Reluctant adoption? Unexpected teenage pregnancy?

@amweald A better hustle is not making my neighbors hate me. I do read r/pettyrevenge y'know

[Erika Rose @flytefight]

I just texted my landlord asking whether he knew any nearby places to dispose of moldy furniture and he told me to dismantle it and put it piece by piece into other people's trash cans the night before collection and not to get caught. Thanks, Mike. Real helpful.

I would give so much to be Queen Latifa's sugar baby

God designed pigeons and then said "do what you will" and everything else is the result.

@niksandnacs Hang, self-care, gratitude, man. I'm lesbian... :c

[Erika Rose @flytefight]

Just remembered that time I disassociated so hard in high school choir that my friend stood in the front of the room with a banner asking me to homecoming and I didn't even notice

[Erika Rose @flytefight]

I can think of 20 character pairs off the top of my head that are in actuality fake hating.

Also, I have a feeling celebrities probably do this all the time.

Reject fake dating, embrace fake hating. “We were enemies but now we’re in love and nobody can know about it.” “We’re academic rivals keeping up the charade for appearances’ sake.” “Our feud was so public it would be embarrassing to admit it was just unresolved sexual tension.”

[Erika Rose @flytefight]

@marcusto Yay! Thank you! I can't sketch for shit but I love painting. I'm about to have so much fun c:

A reminder that for some of us in the world, the raiding of the capitol last year happened on Christmas
