What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are they not both saying: Hello?

before the Big Bang, there was no up there was no down there was no side to side.

There was no up there was no down there was no side to side, there was no light, there was no dark, no shape of any kind. There were no stars or planet Mars or protons to collide, there was no up there was no down there was no side to side. And furthermore, to underscore this total lacking state, there was no here there was no there because there was no space. And in this endless void, which can't be thought of as a place, there was no time and so no passing minutes, hours days. Of all the paradoxes that belabor common sense, I think this one's the greatest this time before events, because how did we get from nothing to infinitely dense from immeasurably small to inconceivably immense. But before we get unmoored from the question at the start, let's take a breath and marvel at when math becomes an art because we don't have to understand it to know there was a time when there was no up there was no down. There was no side to side

Old age should burn and rave at close of

Rage, rage against the dying of the

Can I ask about how Fiddleford and Ford created Rosie? Not a weird nsfw-esque question, but more like, what kind of science do you think would’ve lead Rosie to be? Was she a tube baby?

You’re not the first to ask

I know everyone’s curious

I just know that this topic

Can make some people furious

A success, I have done it!!!

It was a true anomaly!

A lab grown egg

That was mostly made from me

We had two options

Fiddleford and I

Either put her in a tube

Or be carried by a guy

My more experienced husband

Suggest it’d be me

For he was too squeamish

And full of anxiety

“bah!” I proclaimed

“This will be easy”

Little did I know

I’d be the one who was queasy

She kicked and she stretched

She kept me awake

I endured, and ate junk

All for her sake

The day of her birth

Is still on my mind

A blizzard flew in

And left us in a bind

The snow piled up

The power was out

And my mind soon grew

Some smalls seeds of doubt

With no proper exit

What of our child’s fate?

“Its alright”, Fiddleford claimed

“She’ll just have to wait”

Patience is not

Something she understands

I felt pain in my body

From my feet to my hands

With rope in my mouth

And a sanitized knife

Rosie McGucket-Pines

Came into my life

Six fingers, Six freckles

And her father’s nose

She was so perfect

And had all of her toes!

It was painful, it was bloody

I’d been through a lot

I looked at my husband

And said “next time, we’ll adopt”

Philosophy cannot be regarded as a mere equation where nature is the unknown quantity! Remark that the poet, in the moment of inspiration, comprehends God, and consequently does the philosopher's work. Consequently poetic inspiration is nothing less than philosophical inspiration. Consequently philosophy is nothing but poetry, a higher degree of poetry!

I find so much comfort in thunderstorms.

It's like reuniting with an old friend after a long time.

It's like eating a warm cookie with a comfy sweater on Christmas.

It's like reading once again that book that made you fall in love with reading.

It's home.

Sad Song by Tere Roderick

I watched a friend die today...

It was an easy death -- As deaths go. He just seemed to slip further and further from me Until I could not feel him "there" anymore. It was not an heroic death, No glory... Only the silence of an unshed tear. Now I sit staring into the brandy... I do not drink... did not drink... before... Or so I told him. Now the amber fluid is all I have. I watched a friend die today. My soul went with him.
