nothing that stimulant medication and a coffee and an energy drink and a bump of coke and a good hard slap in the face and seven years in the harsh wilderness and a hug from a friend and a firm prostate milking and 250mg of MDMA crystals and a top of the line gaming PC and a tall glass of water and a distant memory of summer and piano lessons and four 20mg edibles and a sword that hungers for human blood and a well socialized tuxedo cat and a sushi dinner and a leather jacket and a power nap and a single beautiful rod of depleted uranium and regular estradiol injections and a typewritten sheet of paper bearing the solution to the hard problem of consciousness and nipple clamps and a lobotomy and a gun and another coffee can't fix

yeah elon definitely did sex selective ivf for his kids thats so crazzy

from another perspective, they're in another triple romance involving two men and a woman, of which there are like four in the whole series? solit and salm are explicitly lovers, autr and sahaule im not sure about, and lindon and svir are too, if we are counting lindon/svir/lindon's wife as one of those. just as a matter of parallels, i think it makes sense to at least consider the possibility?

i don't seriously ship hesychast and itinerant but its genuinely undeniable that my personal reading is that the believability of their feud comes from how their proximity is bordering, if not outright an example of, homoeroticism. the thick seam of hatred comes from the fact they're both bound inextricably with each other by circumstance and ideology, both agents of empire differing only in perspective but alike in aim. they're complementary in their discordance and share this complete refusal to acknowledge this as reality, engage in this charade of opposition because its continuance is the only way they can meaningfully diverge from the masquerade. do you understand. they cannot admit their camaraderie because its the only way to remain discrete, they cannot take comfort in each other despite being bedfellows in secrecy because to do so would be to be swallowed by their own cause. they have to define each other, have to perform animosity, because it's the only way to define their self

A tiny Hawaiian squid, Euprymna scolopes, has become a model for thinking about this process. The “bob-tailed squid” is known for its light organ, through which it mimics moonlight, hiding its shadow from predators. But juvenile squid do not develop this organ unless they come into contact with one particular species of bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. The squid are not born with these bacteria; they must encounter them in the seawater. Without them, the light organ never develops. But perhaps you think light organs are superfluous. Consider the parasitic wasp Asobara tabida. Females are completely unable to produce eggs without bacteria of the genus Wolbachia. Meanwhile, larvae of the Large Blue butterfly Maculinea arion are unable to survive without being taken in by an ant colony. Even we proudly independent humans are unable to digest our food without helpful bacteria, first gained as we slide out of the birth canal. Ninety percent of the cells in a human body are bacteria. We can’t do without them.

As biologist Scott Gilbert and his colleagues write, “Almost all development may be codevelopment. By codevelopment we refer to the ability of the cells of one species to assist the normal construction of the body of another species.” This insight changes the unit of evolution. Some biologists have begun to speak of the “hologenome theory of evolution,” referring to the complex of organisms and their symbionts as an evolutionary unit: the “holobiont.” They find, for example, that associations between particular bacteria and fruit flies influence fruit fly mating choice, thus shaping the road to the development of a new species. To add the importance of development, Gilbert and his colleagues use the term “symbiopoiesis,” the codevelopment of the holobiont. The term contrasts their findings with an earlier focus on life as internally self-organizing systems, self-formed through “autopoiesis.” “More and more,” they write, “symbiosis appears to be the ‘rule,’ not the exception… . Nature may be selecting ‘relationships’ rather than individuals or genomes.”

enough flat earth theory, its time for flat earth praxis

i think we shouod terraform earth to make it completely flat because itd be fun

Takes the computer less time to assemble a genome than it does to resolve the conda dependencies I need to get the software to assemble a genome

“I learned that just beneath the surface there’s another world, and still different worlds as you dig deeper. I knew it as a kid, but I couldn’t find the proof. It was just a feeling. There is goodness in blue skies and flowers, but another force - a wild pain and decay - also accompanies everything.”
