Unpopular opinion but I hate trying to sleep during a thunderstorm with the wind and rain lashing the windows and the thunder cracking, and I do not understand/will not listen to arguments for why it’s supposedly relaxing. I always wake up sore from tensing my body all night.
One summer my steady casual hookup told me his biggest crush was Lil Debbie and at first I was like wtf and then I got strangely mesmerized and starting having sex dreams about her and slowly drifted away from him… what a time.
New Kacey Musgraves album is so gooooood. Her best songwriting since Golden Hour. Good Kacey is meant to be listened to alone or with other girls on a casual sunny day spent in/by any form of Texas water: river, pool, lake, gulf beach, nothing fancy, no pretense, prob stoned.
❛ The poem is the device through which the ordinary world is seen in a new way - engaging, compelling, even beautiful.

We really got a whole universe inside of us 🧬
This reconstruction turns molecular data into a 3D scene using X-ray crystallography & electron microscopy. With light & transparency, it feels like you’re looking inside the cell, not at it. It works because it’s based on real data, making complex processes easier to see and understand.

The cousins my mom pretty much mutually raised with my aunt, who were basically extra siblings to me, who she loved and supported like they were her own kids — thy didn’t come to her memorial service. I’ll never get over that.
My siblings and I at the chaotic memorial for my mom/celebration of life/midwestern backyard party during interrogations by distant relatives and family friends who barely or never at all showed up for my mom when she was dying
My dad scheduled both my mom’s memorial events during my period — not his fault, to be clear, he just made them a month apart — and he and my brother and sister are over here prodding me like “why are you in such a bad mood, why are you so tired?” 😂😫
