I have just spent an extended period of time tediously reconstructing accidentally unsaved notes on Frankenstein 2025 for a final essay, the frustration of which can only be made up for by the fact that an element of casting underscores a point that I had come up with completely independently. 🥳🥳🎊

This feels like a hug and I am keeping it here for future reference. @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social always seems to come through when you need him. youtu.be/CLVdWyNljP8

We are entering an era of seeing how many (new) ways I can talk about Percy Jackson in graduate-level seminar discussions in the coming days. To my classmates: brace yourselves. Also, you should have seen this coming. And @seaweedbrainpod.bsky.social, you made me like this, but you know that 🫶

Gonna be mulling this one over for a while, @hankgreen.bsky.social. These always seem to appear to me in the perfect moment. What’s the deal with that? youtu.be/f_Rqf-vxBM8?...

To the nice lady I met in line at the DMV, I hope everything goes smoothly for you forever. ☺️ You’re the greatest.

Happy Esther Day, internet! 💜 #DFTBA

Listening to the Superman theme again, because I like experiencing joy 😊

This ruled, in case you were wondering, in every possible way.

Coming here to make a quick post and then a swift exit, to tell you that I adore this: youtu.be/jX1k32OL8CU?... I will not be doomscrolling today, I will be thinking interesting thoughts about what @hankgreen.bsky.social has said. Language is important.

This really genuinely good news made me tear up 🥲 This community and the work that we do together so important to me #DFTBA

hello parmesan my old friend i've come to talk with you again

Maddie Dragsbaek makes a ton of cool, well thought out, deeply earnest stuff, and this is one of my favorites: youtu.be/-Qk2eUHFoXE?...

Hey @schub.es, will the cool limited edition @newestolympian.bsky.social merch be at the shows, or should I order online?

This video was deeply and immensely comforting when it came out, and it remains so now: youtu.be/Z3FQGnqgmXk?...

It was fantastic to see you, John. Talked with a friend over mapo tofu afterward, and the word community came up a lot. Invigorating and encouraging sounds about right.

Hey @kayliflute.bsky.social here’s the nori award for most dedicated book shopper 🍙🏆 Thanks for letting all of us in the @seaweedbrainpod.bsky.social crew hijack your bookshop trip; you are truly iconic ✨

This video might be my new favorite thing. I’m putting it here so you all can have it too. #DFTBA youtu.be/eROMPcuEVao?...

My favorite Gubbins postcard so far @folly.studio

If anyone needs a good video to break up their doomscrolling, this one crystallized some thoughts I’ve been having about technology, and it made me laugh! Out loud! Multiple times, even! youtu.be/P-TANCVoHlc?...

Got my iPod series vinyl from @diggingthegreats.bsky.social today. Fantastic tracks, fantastic presentation, A+ all around. If you haven’t seen the series, check it out: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The Paper Towns movie is exactly as fun and entertaining now as it was 10 years ago with all my friends in the theater. It was exactly what I needed today. #DFTBA

Woke up at the oddest possible time, saw this video. Really enjoyed it. Good morning @hankgreen.bsky.social it is really early Friday. I’m going back to sleep now. #DFTBA youtu.be/d2CYihu6bjM?...

P4A was exactly what was needed right now. So much more hope for the future than before this weekend began. I couldn't imagine life without Nerdfighteria. I love you all so much and am so thankful for every single one of you! DFTBA ❤️ #p4a2025

I'm so exhausted from the @projectforawesome.bsky.social but also so grateful for it--and especially grateful to the thousands of people who come together to make it happen every year. From chat mods to chat itself, from producers to perk designers ... SO MANY PEOPLE make the p4a awesome. Thank you.

This is what Late Nite P4A is all about #p4a2025

Oh I just laughed much too loud for midnight in an apartment building... #p4a2025

Mid-dance break snacking by @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is an absolute mood #P4A2025

Banana Loca double event! Again! I need a Pacific Rim meme! #P4A2025

Explaining Roll for Banana Loca to someone over text. It is going somehow better and worse than expected. #P4A2025

This interview is fantastic! It makes doing paperwork bearable and confirms that I want Chloe Badner to design every inch of my living space forever.

Reminder that you don’t have to be a physicist to enjoy the work of @astrokatie.com! Everyone can have fun learning about metastability, vacuum decay, and the heat death of the universe! 🌠

Late night book list, anybody? thegirlinthechair.com/2025/02/05/t...

Excited to bring back my old habit of going to interesting science talks via Zoom! Thrilled that my Friday night was open, just so I could fill it with ultimate cosmic destruction! Have another exclamation point!

I am so so excited for the new Fantastic Four movie and it is all my best friend Josh’s fault! 😁💙

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...

nobody wants ai

JOURNALIST: I've noticed you exude a kind of joy when you're talking about ultimate cosmic destruction via vacuum decay... why is that? ME: I just think it's neat :)

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

Immediately went and bought a ticket. I, for one, am so incredibly excited! Looking forward to seeing you again, John.

As we start the new year, I would like to remind everyone that it is now almost 120 years since the US decided consumer protection - by which I mean regulation - mattered. Given the upcoming presidential inauguration, let's talk about how that happened - and why it's so important. (A thread)

“The effect may be considerable in a few centuries” is a really remarkable sentence here…

Shiny new website, shiny new blog post! Read the new post here: thegirlinthechair.com/2024/12/30/s...

This thread, all of this, what Ann said:

Just thought of @scottniswander.bsky.social when the theme for What’s New Scooby Doo came up on my daily rock mix. It has no reason to be there, but it made me laugh. Very Scott-from-NerdSync occurrence in a playlist.

🧇🥓🍳☕

Hey @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is there a book tour for Everything is Tuberculosis? Inquiring minds want to know, specifically me and all my really cool nerdfighter friends 🫶🏻

This is a fantastic video. In addition to addressing the valuable work done in schools and libraries, John does something that I’ve not seen a lot of people do, which is give teenagers their credit as complex, capable, interesting people who can read critically and understand the themes of novels.

You can tell I’m cool and fun because I’ve spent the evening underlining interesting passages in a book about black holes (conveniently titled Black Hole, by @cosmosgal.bsky.social) in pink pen, instead of something sensible, like a highlighter.
