This is a scientist who discovered 10 new elements, appended the periodic table so that there could be space for the actinides, and created unique isotopes for radioactive medicine. He’s one of the most amazing chemists in history, marking up the periodic table with the glee of a schoolboy.
His 3rd son wrote a paper about his life, which is a vibrant read!
Though it seems like the obvious choice for plutonium’s symbol would be Pl, Seaborg chose Pu as a joke, and it passed into the periodic table unnoticed.

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is
The costumes are amazing!!!
We'll have more videos of the con coming out to the public soon, so please keep an eye on this space and our YouTube! <3
These are so beautiful! They remind me of reading John Belairs books as a kid.
Childhood can be scary.

hi i released an idle game called Settlemoon and you should try it out here
it's got bugs (like the insect kind) and little guys you can fling around with your mouse cursor
you make buildings for adventurers to visit, and post quests for them to beat. It's like a reverse RPG; they're doing the fighting, you're paying them for it and selling them the equipment.
it's deliberately not like the clicker genre in that it tries to avoid keeping you hooked on it. the optimal way to play it is to set things up and do something else for a few hours. like if you're gonna go to bed or go to work or something
it's got an actual story, too! we've gotten multiple folks saying it's an idle game that actually made them cry by the time they beat it.
we worked very hard on it and i think it turned out really well!!!!!! i'm biased though lol
having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing
Snake ledge scramble sprites for the 8-bittish fanfic game Peace Day.
My husband and I were working on a retro-style platform Peace Walker fangame. But even non-commercial fangames can get one into trouble so we decided to stop. Sorry. I don't have the heart to take down this blog. If you'd like the sprites for your own non-commercial stuff, let me know!
