My chronic migraine situation has been utterly brutal, but I can print cool things at least. Good to have robots to do one's bidding

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Earth set: the illuminated crescent of earth is visible above the lunar horizon. Swirling clouds are visible over blue ocean (the Oceania region). The moon in the foreground is a grey brown and pockmarked with dozens of craters Earth rise: the earth is a slim crescent with the right edge illuminated but partially blocked by the limb of the moon. The moon is completely dark, but rugged terrain is visible in its silhouette against the earth

As more people distance themselves from Trump it’s helpful to accept their mistakes with grace and help them back to reality. I’m not gonna do that, I’m gonna mock them viciously, but, you know, it’s helpful. Someone should do that. Not me though.

#StayReadyCrew This is a reminder to check your pantry, freezer, supplies, and OTC meds. There’s no need to panic buy but l am saying to make a list of everything you need and try to get it sooner rather than later. I know folks are on fixed incomes and have budgets but do the best you can.

I've been fascinated by slime molds for years. When my kids were little, I'd show them slideshows online for fun. (To their credit, they also found them cool.) So here's your slime mold of the day – elaeomyxa ceriferaour – via citizen scientist and author Sarah Lloyd. sarahlloydmyxos.wordpress.com
These four slime molds – with the scientific name elaeomyxa ceriferaour – look like spheres with iridescent surfaces ranging from green to blue to purple.

But what if multiple animals were sent on (failed) missions to save the world and prevent the timeline we are now experiencing?
"In November 2009, the LHC was also put out of a commission when bird dropped a piece of baguette into the system that keeps the collider from overheating. That led two physicists to suggest that the bird was sent from the future to keep the LHC from exploring secrets nature does not want humans to know."
