Fuck book banning in 2024
A new law in Maryland to prevent book banning was signed by Governor Wes Moore this past week. The 'Freedom to Read' act bans book censorship in libraries and bolsters rights amid national debate. [original article posted below]
This follows a trend across the country where other Democratic-led states are pushing back on censorship by banning book bans. [original article posted below]
While this is encouraging news, I remind you all that book bans have soared to their highest levels in decades and there is still a lot that needs to be done in some states to fight this trend.

Bows vs Guns: when does it make sense for modern/ sci-fi characters to use guns?
This is just one example! For a longer breakdown (with some bonus history!), check out my YouTube channel.
And don’t forget there are art reference packs now up on Patreon!

I remember being told by my father-in-law that you don't really feel old as you get older except that your body starts to betray you. You still find the same things beautiful, you still love the same hobbies and stories and people, you still find the same things funny, you have more experience but no more wisdom, you still crave love and understanding. It seemed weird to me at the time he said it, but I can confirm now that he was right.
How does it feel to be really old
63 doesn't feel Really Old. Just old. I'm hoping to be able to tell you how it feels to be Really Old in about 30 or 40 years, though.

STONE (Charles Simic)
Go inside a stone
That would be my way.
Let somebody else become a dove
Or gnash with a tiger's tooth.
I am happy to be a stone.
From the outside the stone is a riddle:
No one knows how to answer it.
Yet within, it must be cool and quiet
Even though a cow steps on it full weight,
Even though a child throws it in a river;
The stone sinks, slow, unperturbed
To the river bottom
Where the fishes come to knock on it
And listen.
I have seen sparks fly out
When two stones are rubbed,
So perhaps it is not dark inside after all;
Perhaps there is a moon shining
From somewhere, as though behind a hill—
Just enough light to make out
The strange writings, the star-charts
On the inner walls.
i think we should all consider getting emotional over this xkcd. as a group. let's get emotional about it

Cesium-133, let it be. Cesium-134, let it be even more.
Periodic Table Regions [Explained]
Transcript
[A periodic table with regions labeled.]
[Hydrogen:] Slightly fancy protons
[Lithium and Beryllium:] Weird dirt
[Group 1 & 2 metals, Periods 3-4:] Regular dirt
[Group 1 & 2 metals, Periods 5-7:] Ends in a number, let it slumber ends in a letter, not much better
[Left side of the transition metals group:] Boring alloy metals Probably critical to the spark plug industry or something (but one of them is radioactive so stay on your toes)
[Most of the top row of the transition metals + aluminum:] Regular metals
[Below the rightmost "regular metals" - the "ordinary metals" and some transition metals:] Weird metals
[The platinum group:] $$$$
[Boron:] Boron (fool's carbon)
[Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus:] You are here
[The Halogens:] Safety goggles required
[Noble Gases:] Lawful neutral
[Iodine and Radon:] Very specific health problems
[Ordinary metals and metalloids - Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium, Thallium, Lead, Bismuth, Polonium] Murder weapons
[Astatine and Period 7 from Rutherfordium onwards:] Don't bother learning their names - they're not staying long
[Lanthanides and Actinides:] Whoever figures out a better way to fit these up there gets the next Nobel Prize
#chemistry#science#why I never bothered memorizing it even though I use it in my job because the chance of my memory fucking it up is just too great
