#Like Elivera - I carefully calculated what sun I'd need and the planetary data neededso I could have a retinal planet (violet plants!)

1&4 for the weird writers ask

1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?

Depends on the program I'm using. I use Sitka Text in Scrivener, but sometimes I'll pull out the fonts that help with dyslexia (like Comic Sans and OpenDyslexia, which by the way).

I prefer fonts that give capital 'I' the hat and shoes so that it looks different from the lower case 'l' because it bothers me so much how alike they look otherwise.

As a side note, I've had folks give me flak for using Comic Sans, and I just wanna say, it's weird the hatred of that font. It feels ableist to be honest, because it's an incredibly helpful font due to how each letter is uniquely crafted so that none look the same.

4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?

Conflagration. It's soooo fun to say. It means large (often destructive) fire.

Positive. The way it's used in physics is so arbitrary! Math for physics would be soooo improved if swapped the definition of positive and negative, then we wouldn't constantly have to add a minus sign to the vast majority of equations. Currently, positive in physics is defined as the charge of a glass rod when rubbed with silk, which is weirdly arbitrary to begin with, but that's all thanks to the 1700s. (Is this me admitting that I often forget that dang minus sign? Yes, yes it is. lol)

Thanks for asking!! :D
