  • please donate to “teaching cats to read.” Every day, thousands of our four legged friends take unnecessary tumbles that could be avoided if they could understand human signs. Join us in creating a world free of feline slip-and-fall injuries. And also a world where Garfield finally learns “who that’s for”









  • Simply unalign yourself from the 3d plane and peer through the inter dimensional fence. When a being of 3+n dimensions (where n>1) passes by, ask them if you may see the list of all tesseracts in existence. Prepare for a lot of rejection, most higher-dimensional beings are dickbags who don’t respect us. Be sure to wear goggles or they’ll try to spit on you, and believe you me you do not want 5d saliva in your cranial cavity.

    Also, the tesseract list is very long but simultaneously compressed into a single point, so the only way to read it is all at once. Be ready for that. You might want to call ahead to nearby inpatient psychiatric services and tell them you’re about to go quite mad.











  • When things go really wrong they go really really wrong, but that doesn’t change the statistical risk. Radiation is viscerally scary because you can’t see it, but you’re way more likely to get hit by a bus or die in a cloud of anhydrous ammonia or something similarly nasty.

    Plus things have only gone really wrong once, and that’s Chernobyl. Fukushima Daiichi got hit by an earthquake, and then a tsunami, and lost auxiliary power. The plant’s containment held. Estimates for cancer rates were something like 100 additional cases globally. Nobody got acute radiation poisoning, nobody got sick. The panic killed more people than the disaster. Which is kind of a microcosm of our broader relationship to nuclear power: the fear of what could go wrong caused us to stick with technologies that we know kill people. The Keystone coal power plant kills more people than the Fukushima disaster did, and that’s for normal operation of the plant after they installed scrubbers

    anyway if you’re still reading I love your work keep it up
