So cute. I'd love to have a strawberry plant in one of these
This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It even likes to play with humans.
Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.
The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”
I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.
all the other characters in my house keep complaining i’m losing house points but looking at the leaderboard, i’m the one that’s gaining us the most points so instead of coming @ me, maybe u should focus on your studies, susan.
Ravenclaw too busy arguing conspiracy theories and reading fanfiction at 3am to get housepoints. Get it together fellow nerds I can't keep carrying us...I need fanfic time too.
Ravenclaw for the win...except for the housecup because we never win that.
Which one are you? I’m a Hufflepuff ^^
Thinking on creating stickers with these designs! :)

When your method of flirting is talking about the viability of murder plots and conspiracy theories
Libraries gave me a place to go as a latch-key kid. Where I could read and hangout with school friends, there were library events and over the summer some of my first volunteer experience was at the library. I wouldn't have read the books and met the people who made me who I am now without the library.
Whenever I have a ton of assignments coming up first thing I do is pick up a new book completely unrelated to all of my work
📚 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 📚

Or just a Timeless theory who knows. Anyways I was watching the second season of timeless and crazy theory what if Lucy is the woman Flynn marries. What if he is trying to save Lucy from dying with their daughter in the future??? It would explain why she gave him the journal and why he cares about her and never really tried to kill her when attempting to take down Rittenhouse.

Ravenclaw: Since I'm going to be gone for awhile, I've left a complimentary bowl of advice.
Ravenclaw: [picks one paper out of the bowl] For instance, "Gryffindor, stop doing that" just applies to everything.
I feel lensbound. Forever stuck wearing glasses to see the things other people can see without the.

happy 4/20 there’s still black men in jail serving unnecessary jail sentences for marijuana possession
This layout would drive me up the wall. Between the books laid on their side and color coding rather than genre sorting I would go mad. Aesthetic be damned organize your books in a way that they can be easily reached and read.
The scottish coastline is gorgeous when it's not raining
Me anytime during the school term.
Hufflepuff: *dangling key* You are getting very sleeeeepy…
Ravenclaw: Pfffff. Jokes on you, pal. I’m already sleepy. I’m always fucking sleepy.
Fuck this shit I want out of here
I don't know why but I tend to say my mom but, your mum.

I used to get in trouble for spending lunch break in the library 😔
Slytherin: “I’m only here because knowledge is power. Also because it’s illegal not to go to school, but I’m planning to overthrow the government.”
Hufflepuff: “I’m letting you cheat off of me but only because you’re my friend. I also brought cookies so that we can study together and then you won’t have to copy off me anymore.”
Ravenclaw: “The library is closed, and that sucks because now I have to sit in the cafeteria with you heathens.”
Gryffindor: “Do you think I’ll get a higher grade in gym if I climb out of the skylights?”
Augh I don't know how I feel two characters I like but don't ship are doin the sex.
Remember to read this book
A Jigsaw of Fire and Stars by Yaba Badoe 🔥⭐️🔥 Synopsis: Sante was a baby when she was washed ashore in a sea-chest laden with treasure. It seems she is the sole survivor of the tragic sinking of a ship carrying migrants and refugees. Her people. Fourteen years on she’s a member of Mama Rose’s unique and dazzling circus. But, from their watery grave, the unquiet dead are calling Sante to avenge them: A bamboo flute. A golden bangle. A ripening mango which must not fall… are these the missing pieces of the jigsaw which will tell Sante’s story? 🔥⭐️🔥 I’ve realised that there are some books on bookstagram that get A LOT of attention, while others I see rarely or never! So I decided to start #SynopsisSunday 🌟Every Sunday I’ll try to post a lesser known book with the synopsis so you can see if you like it! But I’ll probably won’t have a book for every week, so if you guys have a book you think needs more attention on bookstagram, post it on Sunday with the synopsis using the hashtag, and I’ll be reposting your recommendations! 😊 . . . #ajigsawoffireandstars #yababadoe #headofzeus #bookcoverdesign #bookcover #childrensbook #childrensfiction #bookstagram #bookblr #bibliophile #reading #booklover #bookphoto
