My bacteria means I like it.

Rhizobium sp.

Rhizobium is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form endosymbiotic relationships with certain plants by forming root nodules (mostly legumes). It is one of several bacteria genera that are associated with the growth of Abies nordmanniana, which are commonly used for Christmas trees.

Is there a fish you don't like or even dislike?

Hmm, good question! I don't really dislike any fish, not even species that are invasive in some places, since that's hardly their fault (and invasive fish are native somewhere). I suppose there's fish that I don't like in the sense that I actively do not have any opinions on them. They exist in my mind but I don't really think about them individually (nor have very many positive emotions about them individually), while I like all fish as a whole!

Sometimes I do get annoyed with fish, or rather, people. There's certain fish that get a lion's share of people's attention, and I feel that's unfair! I don't like that some animals are entirely disregarded in favour of others, when there's a whole world of wonderful and loveable creatures. It makes me feel like I hate some animals (fish too) that I see over and over and over again, because I'm like, "okay okay we get it, but what about all these other guys, huh???" but in reality I don't, actually. I only dislike that disproportionality!

You know that feeling where you have ideas. So many ideas. Too many ideas. And they all would take way too much time that you don't have if you actually wanted to execute them. So you just sit there giving yourself a headache because you cant decide where to start? Love that feeling. And by love, I mean I want to take my brain out of my skull and wring it like a wet sponge.

before i started playing bg3 astarion was like a kinda ratty grinchy little creature who i was nebulously aware everyone wanted to fuck but i didnt get the appeal personally and then i started playing bg3 and he became a ratty grinchy little creature with a terrible attitude i did not get along with. and then i went through an evil magic portal or something and now he's a ratty grinchy little creature with a terrible attitude i do not get along with but fucking care about suddenly, i guess, and also i can dress him up in as many stupid little figurative clown suits as i want to make posts about him on website dot com and he can't complain because he can't see himself in them anyway

I feel the fact I'm a microbiologist makes the black mold incident even funnier. Like yeah I did consume black mold but on account I'm contaminated with dozens of other microbes they all just cancel each other out

my coworker was telling me she learned that if she jsut keeps her rice in the rice cooker on the keep warm function it stays good for a while and i went what the fuck have you been doing with the rice if not that

i feel like half of the micro posts on here are all med students and productivity blogs meanwhile im fighting the war on infectious disease on the side of the infectious disease.

I had a dream last night that I was afflicted with some kind of exhaustion disease probably brought on by my irl subconscious resisting the no-dreams buff from the weed gummy I ate before bed, and in the dream Justice Guilty Gear was coming to my house and I didn't know why so I like struggled over to the door with my sword and constantly kept rubbing my eyes to stay awake

It turned out she wanted to apologize for being evil and wanting to kill people. She could tell something was wrong with me so I invited her into my house and idk what happened after that because the dream wasn't very vivid to begin with lol Idk if it was a Sol dream either because I couldn't see my hands. It probably was though, based on the everything else happening

i think it's really cool to like mycology as much as i do - it's such a vast field, with so many implications and outreaching effects (both good and bad), and it's very fun to say that I'm interested in EVERYTHING.

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.

Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).

Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:

Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?
