LAB[O] Water Bottle by Aquaovo

You most likely need a thesaurus, a rudimentary grammar book, and a grip on reality. This latter means: there’s no free lunch. Writing is work. It’s also gambling. You don’t get a pension plan. Other people can help you a bit, but ­essentially you’re on your own. ­Nobody is making you do this: you chose it, so don’t whine.

From Margaret Atwood’s 10 Rules of Writing, via Brainpickings (via bostonpoetryslam)

Kinesin is a protein that moves things around the cell. That filament is a protein strand that gives the cell structure. That vesicle is a big blob full of cellular product that the cell wants to transport somewhere else. It is driven by ATP hydrolysis. (Source) (Video)

Saltscapes San Francisco Bay  Cris Benton

“Benton’s images allow us to slip our earthly bonds and see the world from new heights, his aerial views offering a fresh perspective on familiar landscapes. Surprising and sublime, Saltscapes can be enjoyed equally as a collection of art photography and a portrait of ecological transformation and resilience.”

Planets of Our Solar System

Our solar system officially has eight planets and one star: the Sun. The discovery of an object larger than Pluto in 2005 rekindled the debate over whether such objects, belonging to the Kuiper Belt – a collection of icy bodies located beyond Neptune – should be called planets. Pluto and other large members of the Kuiper Belt are now considered “dwarf planets.”

Ufo for the Afterlife

This feeling is sick and running into everything, cataracts on every one of your glass eyes blinking outta sync, harlotry in snaggletoothed petticoats ambling for a free luncheon of ambrosia caught in the once-empty 12-foot swimming pools in a fallout suburbia, short arms snapping bones into stilts to reach a little farther, down to where it all bottoms out into Hell’s curled lip.
