The First Thing You Learn In Chemistry Is That The Atom Is 90% Empty Space. The Brunette In The Front

the first thing you learn in chemistry is that the atom is 90% empty space. the brunette in the front raises her hand. how does that work? she asks. everyone sighs. mrs macdonald smiles her eerie grin. we don’t really know, she says. maybe one of you will find out. i unclick my pen slowly as to not make a sound. the atom is 90% empty space. i am more vacuum than i am human. at an atomic level, i am nothing. is that supposed to be comforting? i blurt out, a supernova in the empty silence. it echoes against the tile. mrs macdonald raises her eyebrows. does science ever comfort? chemistry itself opens up all these existential questions. it’s the scientist’s job to find the things that nobody thought about much, and rip them open. gut them. make everyone worry. science is not for the comfortable, my dear.

the brunette in the front shuts up. the classroom is silent. the atom is 90% empty space. i decide that day to become a scientist.

guacamole and chips are a comfort food of mine and so i ADORE guacamole. esp my mom’s. i make it sometimes but dont know where to stop with the salt so it doesn’t turn out the best lol.

i don’t like olives ew (no offense to olive enjoyers im just kind of a picky eater)

mangos are good!! i don’t like a lot of fruits bc of the texture, they’re mushy and ew but mangos are smooth so i like them!! also there’s this drink called mango lassi that i get at indian restaurants and i adore it sm

oh my god i despise raw tomatoes. like i am gagging thinking about raw tomatoes rn. i dont like them in my guacamole, i dont like them in sandwiches or burgers, just…EUGH. the texture the liquidyness the seeds floating around in the middle…i hate them.

i have never had a cannoli but based on my preferences i’d assume i would like them!!

FOOD DISCOURSE: reblog with ur opinions on guacamole, olives, mango, hummus, tomatoes, and cannolis

you know that law of the conservation of energy? that it can't be created, or destroyed, only transferred and transformed? i think it's applicable to love. the love inside your body has always been there, and always will be. it just transfers from different people, at different times. you can't will yourself to love someone, and you can't force yourself not to love someone either. the love inside you can only ever be transferred and transformed.

being depressed and in love at the same time is so weird. it’s like “kiss me, i want to spend the rest of my life with you, you are everything, my life, my love, my happiness, i love you.” but then also “please. just hold me while i fall apart. that’s all i ask.”

i’m a lesbian and i ship mooncovey, and i don’t get why ppl are so mad that kittyuri didn’t happen, bc come on guys we all know they’d mess it up somehow. they made yuri into a cheater, they made kitty offend the one chance at dating a girl that she had. i know it’s frustrating that there are never good wlw couples in popular media but id rather have a good, interesting straight couple than a half-assed attempt at putting kitty and yuri together when they’d never realistically work.

ngl even as a bi girl i still ship mooncovey, idk i love them and think they’re awesome, and i love yuri so much but i don’t think kitty should end up with yuri, yuri was obviously kitty’s bi awakening but idk that doesn’t mean they should be endgame imo

anyway love min ho he’s the sweetest to kitty and he’s js awesome

after you leave, i fall in love with everything.

with winged eyeliner and oak trees,

the rain and my own sanity. for a moment,

i catch myself thinking—is this what true love

feels like? and maybe it is. maybe it is.

like wdym i’m doing my ap human homework actually i’m a british boarding school student from the 1800’s who has nothing but candles and an intimidating aura

okay i am genuinely curious since you read so many books and it feels like every week you are posting abt a new one…

how many books do you think you have in your tbr??

i actually only have seven at the moment, and sometimes they don't even stay on my tbr for long, but i usually add books along the way so its really just endless
