for sure i stared at the wall for a couple of minutes, trying to construct a scenario in which baking soda–a chemically processed form of the more ancient ‘washing soda’ aka soda ash, produced commercially in a couple of different ways but all of them based on mining–would ever be derived from a genetically modified organism.
like, i get it, it’s free positivity, it’s like seizing the opportunity to be like 'gluten free apples! :DDDD’ like there’s any other kind but. just.
the sci-fi industrial scenarios implied by the assurance that no genetic modification was involved in the production of this mineral from out of the ground. i’m
The cats are all in my new bathroom. As expected, Kakashi is completely snuggly and adventurous, Edgeworth is cautious and frequently returns to hiding, and Midgee is hiding altogether, but I think with time they will adjust.
My brother already loves Kakashi, so I am an evil genius, since “my brother will love this cat” was a large motivating factor in my adopting him 😈.
I am exhausted. But things from the journey that should probably be their own posts but fuck it I’m tired.
- At one point I had tire trouble and had to go to a tire shop, delaying my journey by 2-3 hours. Not a big deal. The guy at the tire shop was really nice, but when I was leaving he said, “Sorry about your bad luck” and it sounded like he was diagnosing me with a lifelong condition. I found this hilarious and cackled, startling him, but since I had already started the car and was leaving, I just left.
- Got caught up on TAZ: Ethersea. I hadn’t listened since they finished the prologue. And y’all? Y’all? I love it? It might be my favorite TAZ? Gonna avoid the fandom probably though. I have zero cares for people’s weird parasocial hot takes about the McElroys.
- The west coast forests are so pretty and so I’d really appreciate if we could do a better job stopping them catching fire tbh
- Did I mention before that on the day we were supposed to load the U-Haul the movers canceled, like, two hours before? When I had booked them weeks ahead? My roommate helped me find one guy last minute who could help, but my aging disabled dad and I also had to do way more than was probably healthy for us? Still mad about that, tbh.
People who think this planet was created for humans to be ours are so wild to me
70% of the planets surface is undrinkable uninhabitable death water that sharks love. How is that a human-centric design.
you’re not enjoying that??
If it was there for us to enjoy there’d be natural habitable transparent ocean tunnels or something!!! I’m not saying I don’t personally enjoy it, I’m just saying it clearly wasn’t made for us
