p0rn w/ feelings is so funny it’s like I’ve tricked you into reading this fic by offering you smut but as soon as you get there I pull out a chair, sit backwards on it, and say “hey, pal. you wanna talk about abandonment issues?” and then you have no choice but to listen

i think creativity and human expression as a whole is like a river that we all pour water into. our job is not to worry if we’re brilliant or original or genius or talented. our job is to keep the channel open and flowing, and create what we create with integrity and passion and the fullest extent of our abilities. stories have broad patterns, yes, but are never told the same way twice. if they’re told with care, they’re worth it every time. this is what i know.

For about seven-eights of the Earth’s history, its oceans were extremely rich in sulfides. This would have prevented animals and plants from surviving in 70% of the planet. But it was a great habitat for photosynthetic bacteria that require sulfides and sunlight to live. Known as purple and green sulfur bacteria (because those are the two colors it comes in) these single-celled microbes can only live in environments where they simultaneously have access to sulfides and sunlight.
That they thrived in the sulfide-rich ocean has been confirmed with the finding of fossilized pigments of purple sulfur bacteria in 1.6 billion-year-old rocks from the McArthur Basin in Northern Australia.
i looked up purple sulfur bacteria and now i’m laughing bc the ocean must’ve looked like a giant glass of grape juice, these things really are purple
Annoyingly obliged to point out that this isn’t at all what they meant, though; they just had different colour concepts to us. See also the sky being bronze. Things like vibrancy mattered more to them in terms of colour classification.
I’m sorry, I know I get boring about this shit but I know too much about sensory experience and someone has to suffer for it.
