Really awful that this even needs to be a thought in my head at all but I’m dreading that if Liam Payne’s death is indeed a suicide, people will make it about ‘cancel culture’ and ‘mob mentality’ and whatever the fuck and dismiss and harass his ex and the women who’ve spoken out about his behaviour recently. Make no mistake regardless this death is shocking and tragic, but the internet is allergic to nuance, feel like its gonna get pissed away, all the allegations made ‘nought’ or excessive or all equates to harassment and bullying. It’s gonna become a talking point about fucking ‘wokeness’. Any victims who’ve stepped forward, they’re gonna hear ‘Didn’t you get your wish? You killed a man’. Jesus Christ.
#dreading it dreading it dreading it#liam payne#// death mention#// death#// suicide mention#// suicide#// victim blaming#catastrophising#I do worry this sounds unsympathetic#and having this be the main thing that comes to mind to me feels pretty wretched#but man it’s like Alec Holowka all over again I do not trust what the internet landscape is gonna be in the coming days#on a personal note#thinking of my friends from year 5#my whole class went to a music studio for a friends 9th or 10th birthday party and she was a directioner so we took it in turns in groups#singing what makes you beautiful into the mic of a recording booth#and a few weeks later I had a science homework about what the airs made out of and did an extension#where I wrote a parody song ‘you don’t know what you’re breathing’ and it was peak and I still remember some of the lyrics#I think a good couple of the girls liked liam the most iirc#idk if this bothers them much since this was a younger group of fans so different experience#but I hope they’re not too shaken#fuck.#anecdote#ty if you read these tags#vent post#// real person death

She then turns to her tour guide and says' you're wrong' apparently her guide had said that everyday one out four people celebrate their birthday. She had already wished 3 other ppl and since it wasn't their birthday it must have been mine

How to Make Science Party Favors Kids Will Love
Throwing a science-themed party is an exciting way to engage kids with fun, hands-on activities. But the fun doesn't have to stop when the party ends—send your young guests home with memorable, educational, and exciting science-themed party favors! Here’s a guide to creating unique science party favors that kids will love and parents will appreciate.
1. DIY Slime Kits
Slime is a classic science party favorite that never goes out of style. It’s squishy, colorful, and provides a great sensory experience for kids. Create mini slime kits so kids can make their own slime at home.
What You Need:
Small containers or jars with lids
Elmer’s glue (clear or white)
Baking soda
Contact lens solution (with boric acid)
Food coloring
Glitter (optional)
Mini spoons or stirrers
DIY Tip: Package the ingredients in a clear plastic bag or jar, attach a recipe card with slime-making instructions, and label it “DIY Slime Kit.” Kids will enjoy getting hands-on with a classic science experiment!
2. Mini Science Experiment Kits
Make simple experiment kits that kids can perform with basic household items. These kits are both fun and educational, sparking curiosity in a safe and controlled way.
What You Need:
Small test tubes or clear plastic bags
Baking soda
Vinegar
Food coloring
Plastic pipettes or small droppers
Instruction cards
DIY Tip: Create an “Exploding Volcano” experiment kit by packaging baking soda, a small container of vinegar, and red food coloring together. Include instructions to guide kids through a mini volcanic eruption.
3. Rock Candy Science Kits
Rock candy is a delicious treat and a fascinating science experiment all in one. These kits allow kids to grow their own edible crystals while learning about the science behind crystallization.
What You Need:
Wooden sticks or skewers
Sugar
Food coloring
Small clear jars or containers
Instruction cards with step-by-step directions
DIY Tip: Tie a ribbon around each jar and label them as “Rock Candy Science Experiment.” Kids will have fun watching the crystals grow—and eating the results!
4. Science Stickers and Temporary Tattoos
If you’re looking for something quick and simple, consider science-themed stickers or temporary tattoos. These are perfect for younger kids who enjoy wearable or stick-on decorations.
What You Need:
Science-themed sticker sheets (atoms, rockets, microscopes, etc.)
Temporary tattoos featuring fun science designs
Small envelopes or gift bags for packaging
DIY Tip: Include a small magnifying glass in the favor bag so kids can inspect their stickers and tattoos up close like real scientists!
5. Mini Magnifying Glasses and Bug Catcher Kits
Encourage kids to explore the natural world with mini magnifying glasses and bug catchers. These science-related favors are great for outdoor enthusiasts and budding biologists.
What You Need:
Small magnifying glasses
Plastic bug catchers or jars with breathable lids
Toy insects (optional)
Mini notebooks or observation sheets for field notes
DIY Tip: Create an “Outdoor Explorer Kit” by packaging a magnifying glass, a bug catcher, and a small notepad together in a canvas pouch. Encourage kids to explore their backyard for insects, plants, and more.
6. Glow-in-the-Dark Science Kits
Bring a little bit of magic to your party favors with glow-in-the-dark goodies. These kits are perfect for nighttime science fun and will keep kids entertained long after the party ends.
What You Need:
Small jars or containers
Glow-in-the-dark paint or powder
Plastic test tubes or beakers
Black light keychains (optional)
Glow sticks
DIY Tip: Package glow-in-the-dark powder in small jars and include instructions on how to make glowing slime or other luminescent projects. Include a glow stick as a fun bonus!
7. Mini Solar System Kits
Help kids learn about space with a mini solar system kit. These kits are great for space-themed science parties and can double as a fun educational tool.
What You Need:
Styrofoam or plastic balls (to represent planets)
Black paper or construction paper
String or fishing line
Glow-in-the-dark star stickers
Instruction sheets for assembly
DIY Tip: Package the items in a small box labeled “DIY Solar System Kit,” and include fun facts about each planet to make it educational.
8. Edible Science Treats
Combining science and snacks is a guaranteed hit! Edible science treats like “Lab Lollipops” or “Meteorite Cookies” make great favors that are both tasty and thematic.
What You Need:
Rock candy or gummy bears in beakers
Test tube-shaped containers for candy
Pretzel rods dipped in colored chocolate (as “meteorites”)
Cellophane bags and ribbons for packaging
DIY Tip: Label each bag with fun science-related names like “Meteor Munchies” or “Galactic Gummies” to keep with the party’s science theme.
9. Science Books or Mini Booklets
For a more educational take on party favors, consider giving kids small science-themed books or booklets. These can include simple science facts, activity ideas, or fun trivia.
What You Need:
Small science books or pamphlets
Mini journals for notes or drawings
Printable science trivia or fact sheets
DIY Tip: Look for budget-friendly science booklets that cover topics like space, dinosaurs, or weather. Wrap them in a ribbon with a mini pencil for added fun.
10. Science-Themed Keychains or Jewelry
For a keepsake that lasts, try science-themed keychains, bracelets, or necklaces. These favors work particularly well for older kids who appreciate something they can use beyond the party.
What You Need:
Science-themed keychains (atoms, beakers, planets, etc.)
DIY necklace kits with space or science charms
Small gift bags for packaging
DIY Tip: Create custom keychains using shrink plastic with science symbols drawn by the kids themselves. These personalized favors will be a hit!
Creating science-themed party favors is a fantastic way to keep the excitement going even after the party is over. These DIY ideas are not only budget-friendly but also encourage learning and curiosity, making them a perfect addition to any science-themed celebration. Choose a few of these suggestions to create a memorable goody bag that kids will love and parents will appreciate!

What pisses me off the most about this is knowing that gold is so technologically valuable but a technically finite resource. This is a resource that we can’t reasonably make more of, something that plays a key role in the world’s best superconductors for computing and engineering, and it’s being consumed by people with no other use for their money but to eat it.
the most criminaly annoying thing rich people do is buy stupid bullshit food because it makes them look rich to the people around them. Oh wow you spent $1000 whole dollars on a gourmet gold leaf burger? Just go to a random diner and get a regular cheese burger and leave the sever a $100 tip if you want to feel that same level of overwhelming satisfaction with your oppulance you obnoxious dickhead at least then the waiter can make rent and you provided some good to society instead of eating gold like a dipshit
#it’s like our finite reserves of helium (necessary coolant in the rocket sciences) being spent at children’s birthday parties#but with people who could just as easily commission a thousand works of art or build a community theatre

3 times jj kissed you + 1 time you kissed him
parings! bsf!jj x reader
warnings! . smoking. fluff. angst if you squint. not proof read.
the first time, you were 14.
you had moved to the outerbanks at the beginning of your 7th grade year, terrified out of your mind. you didn’t know a soul, you didn’t know how people in a beach town behaved, what they wore, how they talked.
but on your very first day at kildare county middle school, you met your people.
jj was the first to talk to you, telling you he liked your t shirt you got from a popular surf shop that you had agonized over, wondering if people would like it. he was the first to make you feel comfortable.
gradually, you started sitting with him in science class, and then you started sitting with him and his friends at lunch. you met john b, kiara, and pope and you were inseparable since.
now it was the middle of your 8th grade year. kiara was throwing her birthday party where half of the middle school seemed to be invited. her circle of friends was much larger at that time due to her being considered in between a pogue and a kook.
the girls had decided to play the classic party game, spin the bottle and mostly everyone at the party gathered around in a crowded circle. it seemed like everybody playing wasn’t the least bit nervous about kissing someone else, but you were picking at the skin of you fingers because you had never been kissed.
you anxiously awaited your turn, watching the bottle intently in case it landed on you, but thankfully, it never did.
and then your turn came around. you nervously spun the bottle, hoping it wouldn’t land on some guy or girl you hardly knew. it did a few rotations, everyone eager to know who you were going to kiss.
the bottle settled on jj directly across from you.
you immediately felt better, knowing that it was one of your friends who would steal your first kiss, but then you chided yourself for even thinking about kissing one of your friends.
jj came across the circle to where you were sitting and grabbed your hands, pulling you to your feet. he didn’t seem nervous at all, but that was just how jj was.
you noticed some of the kook girls staring at the two of you, jealous that it wasn’t them who got to kiss him.
“you can skip me if you don’t wanna kiss me, y’know?” he said, but not in a way that was telling you he didn’t want this. he spoke with a quiet and sweet tone, making sure you were okay. he was always making sure you were okay. he knew this was your first kiss and he didn’t want to take that from you if you weren’t alright with it.
“no, it’s okay.” you shook your head, smiling nervously.
he nodded and then gently placed his hands on both sides of your face before he leaned in.
you closed your eyes and waited for his lips to touch yours.
you always thought you would be clueless during your first kiss, but he made it feel natural.
his lips gently pecked yours, lingering for a few seconds before he pulled away.
you heard ooo’s and ahh’s from the teenagers around you and you couldn’t help the redness that rushed to your face. you were glad it was him.
that night you also kissed two others. one random kook boy who you hardly knew and one girl who was in your english class. the girls never skipped each other because they knew the kisses were meaningless, and those last two kisses were definitely meaningless. but the one with jj felt different. you tried to make yourself think it was because it was your first one. you had also watched jj kiss a few more girls that night. you scolded yourself for feeling a tinge of jealousy.
what you didn’t know was that jj placed himself directly across from you to have a better chance of your spin landing on him.
the second time, you were 16.
you had just discovered the golden cross in a dilapidated church. pope was hacking away at the wood encasing the treasure, pieces of it crashing to the ground.
when you saw the gold shimmer through the wood, your eyes lit up. you couldn’t believe that everything you had gone through had brought you to this moment. you couldn’t believe you actually found what you were looking for.
everyone celebrated with shouts, with cheers saying “we’re gonna be rich!” and with hugs.
your adrenaline was so high, you felt like you were dreaming.
jj took your face in his hands and planted a kiss right on your lips. it happened so fast you could barely comprehend what was happening and when he pulled away, your eyes met his and you saw the excitement on his face. you knew he only kissed you because there was so much to celebrate about that he didn’t know what to do with it.
you watched him hug john b as kie and sarah hugged you. he didn’t have that same look in his eyes when he celebrated with them.
you never mentioned it afterwards.
john b was the only one who saw him kiss you. a few days later, he told jj to just ask you out already.
“everyone knows it j.” john b said.
“knows what?”
“that you’re in love with her.” he said it like it was the most obvious thing ever. “you’ve been crazy about that girl since you were 13, it’s almost embarrassing that you’ve never done anything about it.” they were the only ones in the twinkie together, waiting for the 3 girls to get in the van for another daily adventure.
“she’s like- i don’t know, man.” jj shook his head. “she’d never say yes. i’d rather not fuck our whole relationship up, y’know?” he said with a hint of sarcasm.
john b scoffed.
“you’re saying she’d never say yes but you don’t see the way she looks at you?” he said. “either you’re choosing to ignore it or you’re just flat out stupid.”
the third time, you were 17
jj had shown up at your house in the pouring rain with a bruise forming on his cheek and a cut on his lower lip. the second you saw his face, you knew it was his dad.
“can i stay here tonight?” he asked, as you were already pulling him inside.
you took him to your bathroom and he rolled a joint while you found some rubbing alcohol for the cuts on his face.
he sat on the wall of the bathtub and you sat on the toilet, turning yourself to face him. he lit his joint before you dabbed a cotton pad doused in alcohol on his injuries. he flinched slightly from the pain before he took a hit from his joint, instantly soothing it.
you could’ve killed his dad for what he did. you noticed jj’s eyes were red, probably from tears. he didn’t deserve any of what his dad had put him through.
you fixed him up in silence, not wanting to touch on the subject of what happened between him and his dad.
“you’re making the house smell like weed.” you said, half-jokingly.
“shit, are your parents home?” he asked, getting ready to stub out the joint on the bathtub, but you took it from his fingers and held it to your mouth, taking a long drag and exhaling.
“they never are.” you replied.
you notice his eyes trail down to your lips as you smoked, his breath hitching. it was silent, but there was a tension that was speaking volumes between you two. the fact that he came to your house instead of john b’s was proof enough for how much he felt for you, and anyone with half a brain could see it. but you always wrote it off, not truly believing that he could have any feelings that weren’t strictly platonic towards you.
almost unconsciously, he leaned in. you let him.
his lips touched yours, his hand supporting himself on your knee. he tasted of weed and your cherry rolling papers. he tasted good.
when he pulled away, you were almost frozen, the joint still resting between your fingers, burning away. his eyes were wide with a look of regret and your heart sank.
“im- im sorry, i shouldn’t have-“ he started, realizing his hand was touching your bare leg and immediately taking it off like it was burning him.
“it’s okay,” you handed him the joint. “you’re just- you’re high.”
he cleared his throat.
“i’m sorry.” he uttered again.
later, when you went to bed that night, you wished you had kissed him again, and again. the only thing that played in your mind for the next week was the taste of his lips. but friends couldn’t think of each other like that, right?
you kissed him about a month later.
he asked you to go on a boat ride with him since you two were the only ones in the chateau at the time. you agreed, of course.
you were a little far out from the shore, seemingly being the only two people out at the moment. he had stopped the boat and began rolling a joint as you watched, seated across from him. he was so focused on crafting the joint that he didn’t even notice you staring at him.
you thought about every time he had kissed you, and every time you just shrugged it off. and you thought about the fact that every time you were near him, you wanted him to do it again. but why wouldn’t you just do it? what was the harm?
he looked up only to lick the paper, his eyes meeting yours and a smile playing on his lips.
so you did it.
you leaned in and connected your lips to his. he kissed you back almost immediately and moved his mouth in sync with yours. his hands went to your waist and yours went to his hair.
it was minutes later when you finally pulled away, both out of breath.
“i’ve wanted to kiss you like that since the day i met you.” he said, his hands still on your waist.
“don’t know what was stopping you.” you giggled.
his hand went up to your flushed cheek.
“well i really don’t want anything to stop me again.” he kissed you again.
you came back late at night to find your friends. your cheeks were still read, your hair was a little messy and a barely visible hickey was left on your collar.
everyone knew immediately. and everyone was glad they would never have to witness the mutual pining between you two again.

So Gregor Mendel (yes, the guy with the pea plants) wrote down that he wanted to be given a thorough autopsy after he died. The year he died was 1884. Autopsies were increasingly common at the time, but Mendel was an Augustinian friar and the arguments preventing donating your body to science for teaching autopsies, research, etc. were theological. The “ethical” source of teaching cadavers for doctors to autopsy was (in many places) the bodies of executed criminals, as a sort of post-mortem punishment. Mendel became a monk specifically because he couldn’t afford to study otherwise, even after one of his sisters donated her dowry to the cause. He did too well as a monk to continue his work as long as he wanted: he got promoted to Abbott and the last sixteen years of his life were spent doing administrative work, and his experiments weren’t properly replicated, or examined as a viable alternative to then current theories on inheritance, until 1900. But he chose to donate his body to science (which he loved) and be of material benefit to the field of medicine, which he didn’t practice but two of his nephews did. There’s just something beautiful about a guy who lived through the era where having your body dissected was the height of dishonor, in an institution that had advocated against the practice, deciding that anything that helps humanity as a whole was worth doing. There’s something just as beautiful about the fact that he was exhumed for genetic sequencing on his 200th birthday - usually we don’t just dig people up and grab their genes as a surprise party, because in addition to it being a lot of work we can’t assume they would have appreciated it, but Mendel? He would have been jazzed.
#on science#You're going to have to dig me out of the 1800's I'm constructing context for things that happened between 1880 and 1800
