a post-doc was doing a guest seminar at my institute and at the beginning of his presentation he was explaining why he chose birds for his evolutionary analysis - so he said "well first of all, because birds are the best and most interesting animals and it's fun to study them" and a few professors in the room gave him a very serious nod

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

From the introduction to the 1999 Pocket Books edition of Salem's Lot by Stephen King

I love looking for fanfics for the It movies and then seeing a majority of them being tagged with some variation of “alternate universe- no pennywise”

Please, if you are able, donate blood.
As the recipient of several blood & plasma transfusions as a child, and the daughter of a mom who needed blood transfusions for the last few months of her life, I can't tell you how important this is to me.
