On Google Street View there are a few restricted areas you would otherwise never see. Myself, I study physics. So I took Google Street View and went to Cern.
Tumblr media
Forgive for geeking out for a minute, but this is INCREDIBLE. You can walk right next to the collider. It stretches on and on, and it is amazing. Seriously, take a few minutes and do this.
But I also took the time to look away from the collider and at the walls. There is surprisingly quite a bit of writing. Most of it just to mark your location in the collider. But there are some other interesting pieces of graffiti.
Tumblr media
You have to squint a little here, but on the walls are all kinds of subtraction problems. This isn't the only place either, there are many spots on the walls with math problems just written out. The brightest minds in the world, and here is their subtraction homework.
Tumblr media
There isn't a great angle to look at this one here, but its a very beautiful drawing of a leaf in red marker. Why? Who knows. A bored engineer wanted to leave a little art next to the collider.
Tumblr media
I saved the absolute best for last. I can not read what is said here, but I think what is most interesting is that these pictures were all drawn by different people. The style, heck even the color of the markers, is different each time. Somebody decided to draw a cartoon character, and a bunch of physicists followed suit.
This graffiti, to me, is almost touching. You walk along next to this unimaginable, inhuman machine. Next to it, writings on the walls, undeniably human. Sometimes I think we forget where these works of mechanical marvel come from. They came from people. People who needed to stop and write out their math, people who made art, people who made silly cartoons. The particle collider, one of the most impressive feats of modern science, was built by human hands.
May we never forget that.

I'm nervous about the future of experimental high energy physics
Every talk about a future collider (FCC, ILC etc) is like "oh we definitely reach new physics if you let us build the comprehensively big accelerator (do not think about the environmental impact from making a 90 km tunnel that will span two countries and a massive lake). Once we have an FCC we could collect so so much data (do not think about the storage and computing resources that will be expended)..."
The most sustainable accelerator is the one that is already built
sure maybe we might be reaching the limits of the lhc but if we build the fcc we would reach that limit too. what's next? a collider the size of the earth?
Also we should be working on making the experiments and accelerators we have now more efficient, precise and sustainable! I feel like the physics community is brazenly going forward with a project that will have a massive environmental and social impact (so many rare minerals will be mined by people in terrible working conditions and worse)
It's a bit disheartening.

CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs
Peter Higgs has passed away at the age of 94. An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs in 1964 postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson. Its discovery at CERN in 2012 was the crowning achievement of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics – a remarkable theory which explains the visible universe at the most fundamental level. Alongside Robert Brout and François Englert, and…

Day 32: 90 Day Challenge 🎀
Almost forgot to update for yesterday. Had the worst mental breakdown ever and proceeded to have a terrible nightmarish nap that scared the heck out of me and somehow today was so much better.
🏋‍♀️ Physical Activity
50 minute glute workout in the gym
resisted the urge to binge
🧠 Mental Health
guided Journal in the morning
❤️ Emotional Health
let myself have a good well needed cry
📚 Intellectual Health
nothing honestly that I can remember
🏘 Adulting
zoom called boyfriend
talked to my dad on the phone
started watching a new TV show that wasn't American dad
🥰 Self Love/Care
gently bullied myself into brushing my teeth and washing my face/doing skincare before laying down
morning skincare
full shower + washed hair
Today was really good, so I'm looking forward to updating on that tonigjt/tomorrow morning. I'm also super excited to get my nails done and a haircut on Thursday! Plus I gotta go shopping for some new jeans, a new shirt or two to wear to Christmas Eve dinner with my boyfriend at his dad's house. May just cave in and buy him and I matching Christmas sweaters to be "that couple" for fun. Speaking of, I can't wait to see my man on Saturday <333 I haven't seen him since early October, so getting to spend a week and 2 holidays with him will be absolutely amazing. Hopefully his mom likes the little gifts I got her.
til next time lovelies 🩷

Ok, guys. A lot of people have their fan casts for a Rat Grinders spinoff series, but hear me out.
What if season whatever of Dimension 20 was with the intrepid heroes, but Brennan didn’t tell them what their characters were. They get into the dome, The background is the normal Fantasy High background. The DM screen is the normal Fantasy High DM screen. They all sit as if they would for their Fantasy High characters. Brennan does the introduction, everybody’s smiling everybody’s happy, then he starts with the first scene.
But Nobody has a character sheet nobody knows who they are. “Strange, how do you play if you don’t know who you are playing?” A sentiment throughout the six heroes. The scene moves on, and he does it through one of the players perspectives, and it becomes clearer and clearer, slowly, that that person is playing their Fancy High characters antithesis from the Rat Grinders. Brennan hands them a character sheet.
The scenes go on, each hero getting their own. The character sheets are handed out. Horror: screams are heard throughout the dome, yells and shouts for Brendan to do unspeakable things. All the players are befuddled. All the players are filled with wishes for revenge.
The Intrepid Heroes, beloved of the characters they play called The Bad Kids, now play what they hate the most.
They are the rat grinders.

#oc#haven#rex#monochrome#contents: a little raunchy for tumblr#doodle#really high effort one but it's about the shapes more than anything else lol#meme redraw#comic#i may color this. the original plan was to color it. however i spent all my energy for coloring on drawing an aftermath coda#im fond of this one. there's a lot happening in it#haven and rex are both dressed "up'' to annoy the other's plus-one minor enemy#<- specific au element#rex is wearing a weezer shirt because haven knows that'll piss off taran. haven is dressed up like rex's best attempt at a mid-00s surfer#because he knows felyx cant fucking stand haven and is also into buff masc dudes dressed in jeans with rhinestones and thinks it'll be funn#to put felyx in the Lustful Colander#(he is right)#haven's house is not actually a cool neat influencer home or whatever there's no like open floorplan white walls light bamboo floor bullshi#going on here. it's all like green and red granite tile and shit. the man has been around for a very long time he knows what kind of decor#he's fond of. those ARE fish tanks in the walls though. and a spiral staircase#the man has been around for a very long time. he does not give a shit if what he likes is 'tacky'#also when the one speechbubble he says gets weird it is because he is using a magic power and forcing rex to put his cigarette out. rex is#naturally kind of annoyed about this. it used to make haven wince when he put his cigs out on his hands so he keeps doing it every time thi#happens but he has not yet cottoned on to the fact that haven has fully stopped wincing and now just thinks it's a normal habit he has#and has no idea that it's specifically aimed in his direction#also haven has no issue with giving head but rex isn't aware of that. they don't communicate well#and what Rex is actually aware of mostly consists of 'asking him to bottom turned into a giant argument and then a physical actual fight#and he broke my jaw in like four places over it and it was awesome but i didnt get what i wanted' and kind of gave up on the subject#he couldve been getting his d!ck sucked this whole time and he didnt know it. so sad#lineart

okay weird q incoming but what ways do you think speedsters can get sick? Like to my understanding, they can’t really come down with normal virus’ like the flu, right? But they could get things like chronic migraines?
NANOBOTS!!! This is one of the best pieces of canon lore ever. I did a whole post on it but TLDR: normal human metabolisms have so much shit going on that they don't even notice nanobots in their body BUT speedsters have hyper accelerated metabolisms that are the equivalent of the straight A's overachiever in school on meth. So speedster metabolisms do notice nanobots and they attack full force, triggering all of the body's defenses and responses.
But the nanobots are metal so it obviously doesn't do anything. It just leaves the speedster lethargic, feverish, vomiting, dizzy, with a headache, sore muscles and a runny nose, ect. It's basically an allergic reaction.
Now, poisoning them can work depending on what the poison is/what the dosage is. You would need a 100% fatal poison and you would need a fairly high dose. Because speedsters heal fast and they have a hyper accelerated metabolism, so any poison that is based on toxicity (alcohol poisoning for example) would be out of their system faster than it could even take effect.
But poisons that can't be cleared out/processed by the body (take cyanide for example, it binds with the chemical receptors in your body making it physically impossible to use oxygen) wouldn't really be affected by their metabolism at all. So while the speedsters could heal the damaged tissues from these poisons fairly quickly (making it seem as though they were only slightly affected) they would ultimately need time to do so, time they would not have if it kills them first. This isn't technically what you are asking because there would be no substance that 'makes them sick', there would only be 'fine', 'not fine for like a minute and then fine again' and 'dead'. (... unless they were hooked up to a steady supply of the toxin)
Likewise, (this is getting more into theoretical territory, less canon) there might be some illnesses that would affect them? Not for long but if you got something super fucking fatal like Rabies, it might make them display mild cold symptoms for a day or something.
I don't know though. They have really fucking good immune systems. And even super fatal diseases can be fought. Take my example of Rabies, while it is commonly thought to be 100% fatal once symptoms show up there actually have been cases of people surviving it. Rabies is a very stealthy and fast disease, so the main problem with treating it is that your body's immune system isn't fast enough to stop it. People have survived by being placed in medically induced comas (slowing their bodily functions and thus the disease) for long enough that the medication can eradicate it. So for a speedster? That's gone in a minute tops. You would need an insane disease that I'm not sure even exists.
There's also like... pregnancy and menstruation. Growing pains, muscle pain from running is a BIG ONE, being dehydrated/starvation, blood loss, ect. Lots of ways to fuck with a speedster in a way they can't immediately fix.
There are also speedster specific ailments. It's basically 50/50 if a natural born speedster gets a weird highly fatal aging disease. Sometimes speedsters can be born without a kinetic energy shield which makes using their powers at all incredibly fatal to them. All speedsters will have connectivity issues at some point that can be fatal. Sometimes Time Gets Bad™ (shout out to when Barry kept chronically stealing time from people/things every time he used his powers). Sometimes they have too much energy and can't maintain human form (shout out to when Wally didn't know what the speedforce was and was accidentally cosplaying Ghost Rider). Velocity 9 is a highly addictive drug that works on speedsters and makes them display typical addiction behavior (and withdrawal). V9 can also cause a speedster to 'overdose' (burst into flames/lightning/energy). They all have the constant urge to yeet themselves into the speedforce. Ect.
#here's the thing: they are made of speedforce but its not a skin deep thing. you feel me? like their CELLS are made of speedforce#so all shit still affects them#i keep saying that they don't need oxygen or food to survive and thats true but its only if they're actively compensating with speedforce#cause they can get energy from the speedforce or they can get energy from oxygen and food or both. they can't do neither#and they don't really *know* or understand that theyd be fine with JUST speedforce energy. they still think they need oxygen and food#so if they were suffocating or something they might instinctively crank up the speedforce to compensate but they're also very stupid#so they might just die. idk it really depends on who it is how much they know and how much SF they're drawing on#cause like... energy beings need energy yo#i hope this makes sense#the muscle pain one is interesting cause Wallys early runs are really big on the whole hitting the wall thing#he would hit a wall that he physically couldn't break through and it caused him a lot of pain.#some of that was not being hooked up properly cause Wally wasn't hooked up properly until he was an ADULT#because he is FUCKING INSANE and he just went 'huh i guess this is my limit and i will stay below it' liKE AN INSANE PERSON#anyway some of it was SF issues and some of it was mental but he actually got really really hurt anytime he got close to the wall#REALLY bad muscle pain. and like... it was potentially extremely fatal. 'breaking down your body into little bits' fatal#he doesn't get that anymore because hes properly hooked up now but jfc that man treated 'entering the death zone' like it was#the high score to beat at his local arcade. he took it as a fucking challenge. absolutely insane dude right there

everyday I wish there were more stories about trans people that I could hold and cherish in book/graphic novel form. pls. I want to see trans ppl in space. and as superheroes where the story is about them 100%. and like slice of life gardening. and high fantasy. and historical fiction but like we get to be happy. and I want trans people who have magical powers and the stories about gender fuckery and saving the world. and maybe I want to write these stories too but I can’t be blamed for wanting to curl up with a good book with trans main characters written by trans ppl for me (… and everyone else too. I’m just feeling very miette about this right now) and have a fun and funky journey with a story.

magnus is that genre of Teenage Boy that has the frame of a lumberjack but the build of a wet spaghetti noodle. given 5 more years and consistent nutrition he would've been a certified Hunk Of Meat™️ but instead he is stuck looking like a particularly poorly made scarecrow for the rest of eternity. tragic.

Memes that make sense of the static in my mind

There's a scientific discovery I read about Casimir plates in reference to obtaining energy through the vacuum fluctuations of the cmb in the universe.
The math seems impossible at first but if you understand the concept of a holographic bubble pulling on the space around it, there's a correlation between electromagnetism and gravity; relative to the surface tension that a pure vacuum does to energy and information density of the quantized object.
Vacuum energy thermalizes as information. Information radiates as electromagnetic energy as it's subjected to entropy.
Electromagnetic energy binds gravitation to information as an entangled pair forms with information complexity of volume and dimensional action within a quantum system.
Everything experiences duality with point mass binding with wave mass. The Uncertainty principle can be worked into a many worlds theorem through entropy, information complexity, with probability expanding like a diffraction pattern in every direction.
Casimir energy is not zero point though, let's call it non-zero point, because nothing doesn't exist.

Language Tips? Study Resources? Productivity?
I have been in such a slump lately (hence my extended hiatus from this blog). But now that things are starting to look up, I am slowly getting my life back together the way I'd like it to be.
Now, I come to you all for help <3
As the title says, can everyone comment or repost with language learning tips/resources/bits of knowledge, study tips/resources, anything productivity related, and any motivational or supportive things you guys would like to share? Ohh, and self care tips, time management tips, any advice you have about anything regarding getting out of a slump?
What youtubers do you watch to help? What podcasts do you listen to that help? Whatbpiece if knowledge or anything that you can share with me to help a girl out?
I seriously mean it. Anything you guys wanna leave in the comments, or my inbox, go for it! Book recommendations, TV show/movie/anime recommendations, music recommendations, makeup/skincare/self care recommendations, etc?
I appreciate all of you <3 you guys are the absolute best and I look forward to fully returning to tumblr once I feel better from my slump.
