Captainscruptious - Just Here To Linger Like The Pest I Am

Nadja Auermann and a friendly skeleton photographed by Richard Avedon for The New Yorker, November 6th 1995.

Happiness Will Come To You.

STEM dark academia aesthetics

Lab coats with mysterious stains

Dissecting cadavers and studying bottled organs

Building a neural network that gains sentience and craves your affection and approval

Mouth pipetting

Mourning the mistreatment of Rosalind Franklin

Licking rocks

Doing maths with numbers that don't exist

Calculating the distance between stars

Brewing your own alcohol in the lab

Drinking coffee out of a beaker because the kitchen was out of clean mugs

Running medical experiments on unsuspecting undergrads with nothing to lose

Having a pet axalotl in the lab/office named Haeckel

the bedrooms of our friends

when i saw the headline ‘golf digest helps free man from prison’ i thought it was gonna be, like

“he’s clearly in the background of this golf photo! that proves he wasn’t at the crime scene!!”

as opposed to, like

“this guy in prison sent us his cool golf fanart but we didn’t want to promo a serial killer, so we looked into his case and thought it looked pretty flimsy and probably racially motivated”

(here’s the first article from 2012 and the followup)

another interesting dream i had last night.

I feel like the overlap between people who are into yarncraft and people who are massive fantasy nerds is pretty high, so here is a thing:
