New College’s academic year ends with community-focused celebration of students

drank too much
[ID: Digital Art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash’s body is turned slightly away from the viewer as he holds a staggering Wolfwood by his shoulder. He has one foot ahead of the other, the foot in the back used to stabilize himself from tipping over. Wolfwood is tethering into Vash, his weight pressed into him with his arms wrapped around Vash’s waist and his face is hidden away as he leans against Vash’s shoulder. Vash’s expression can be seen, his eyes wide and mouth tight-lipped, and his face is flushed red. A speech bubble comes out from Wolfwood, saying a drawled “Spikeyyy...”. The background are desaturated pastels of blue and green, showing night time, as they stand in the middle of an empty street that is also lit by the moon not depicted. Yellow light is seen coming from the inside of a saloon. End ID]

i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots

Spreading the Word
Just as prairie dogs bark to warn the colony of danger, many plants can signal their neighbors when they're under attack. This thale cress releases calcium when caterpillars eat it; neighboring plants pick up the chemical signal and pass it along. (Image and research credit: Y. Aratani et al.; via Colossal)

I feel like Danny should be followed around by an entourage of ghost blobs and ghost animals. I feel like he should be a fucked up little boy surrounded by death, forever stuck between worlds, frozen in time as life leaves him behind and death rejects him. As a treat.

Dwarf planet Eris is ‘squishier’ than expected
University of California, Santa Cruz Professor of Planetary Sciences Francis Nimmo recently co-authored a Science Advances paper about the internal structure of the dwarf planet Eris.
Eris is about the size of Pluto but around 50% farther from the sun.
The discovery of Eris in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune in 2005 prompted the debate that ultimately reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.
It was an interest in Pluto that drew UC Santa Cruz researcher Francis Nimmo to study Eris.
Nimmo was visiting Michael Brown—one of the discoverers of Eris—at the California Institute of Technology about six months ago and realized some of Brown’s new, unpublished data could help reveal information about the properties of Eris.
The two worked on models for the next several months and published their results in a Science Advances paper. Two main pieces of information led to their results.
The first important clue is that Eris and its moon, Dysnomia, always face the same way toward each other.
The main, unexpected result of Nimmo and Brown’s model is that Eris is surprisingly dissipative, or “squishy”...
