This is today! :D I hope we have a lot of questions! (But like not an unmanageable amount of questions because I will panic and hide.)

Trilobite is watching always watching

American Museum of Natural History@amnh.org

It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Feast your eyes on this dolomitic Encrinurus, uncovered from the Silurian exposures of Illinois. Notice the stalked-eyes atop its cephalon? This morphologic trait may have allowed it to burrow into the sea floor and keep watch over its surrounding marine world.

Chinese mycologists described a new giant fungus named Dianjunus rex whose ancient family lineage dates back to just after the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs. Its upright fruiting bodies can grow up to 20 inches tall and weigh as much as 5 pounds! 🧪 www.frontiersin.org/journals/fun...

Also LOLOLOL I am lookin a LITTLE SCRUNGLY (I figured I would just get my shots and go to the bank and go home) but anyway I stopped in at the Indigo I did not even KNOW was there across the street from the bank and! I asked nicely if I could sign WICKHILLS and they were all like "YEAH YEAH!!"

Premee Mohamed
@premeemohamed.com

The person I talked to (Cam I think?) was also like "Thank you for asking, because it is true that we can't return signed books, but a) these will probably sell as there are only a few copies, and b) if people do it secretly I can't put the SIGNED BY AUTHOR sticker on them"

There are these repeated injuries in hadrosaur tails. There were a few theories on this, but one of them stands out. No easy way to say this: some dinosaurs were really into rough sex. 🧪 Link: https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(25)02000-0​

After my mandated 15 minutes I'm going to attempt to walk over to the other side of Northgate because I need to go to the bank, send thoughts and prayers for beetle to not be run over and squished in a very car-centred area 💀

Last year I also got both on the same day and ONE arm was super super unhappy about it but I couldn't remember which (Today's nurse said that was probably the flu arm, which is the same amount of vaccine but a bigger needle)

#axelreads #12 Hitting the silly goal I set for number of books read this year with a belter: Wickhills by @premeemohamed.com It's a proper ride of a book with wonderfully bonkers world building and absolute confidence in the readers ability to keep up and figure it out. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Uncontroversial take: hot & sour soup must be truly the king of soups The GOAT of soups Delicious, gloopy texture, warming, curative properties, contains many items Can I, a layman, identify 100% of those items? It is not important. Tasty soup.

So WICKHILLS by the perfidious @premeemohamed.com turned up a fortnight ago, but I've only just started reading it and it is a DISGRACE, for she surely has glowing glass jars secreted in her lair that contain the very SOULS of Mervyn Peake, Ed McBain, and John le Carré that (Deranged rant continues)

ALSO reminder that my friend Sara's party last night was themed as always, the theme was 'cult leaders' (or cults generally I think?) and I went as Sathya Sai Baba, which meant I had the Wikipedia page pulled up on my phone to show people all night, but it was worth it

AS I WAS LEAVING it occurred to me I could have gone as an HPL-styley cultist (maybe a fishperson?) but too late, oh well, and she never repeats themes 😂

Dr. Frank-n-furter staggered over at one point and was like "I'M A LADY!" (he was not a lady fyi) and added "BUT YOU'RE NOT A MAN!" and I told him to ask Sara what I had come as previously: - Prince (dead celebrities) - Jareth the Goblin King (Hollywood) - Caligula (heroes + villains) (cont'd)

We also had a cultist from Midsommar (in an INCREDIBLY good costume), a handmaid from The Handmaid's Tale, a Tupperware saleswoman cultist, a bunch of 'regular' culty people (daggers, grimoires, daggers, robes), some people affiliated with Lord Summerisle, some MAGATs, a few --

-- excellent old-styley cultists with animal horns and fake furry heads etc, two people who came as 'cult cinema' (we had Dr. Frank-n-furter!), and probably some people who showed up after I left! Great party, no notes, although I did not make any followers. :(

Jesus also came over and judged me a whole bunch for being a fraud and doing fake miracles like materializing gold etc which I think was very unfair

Ever notice "abusers can grow and change" uniformly comes from people who haven't actually checked if someone grew or changed? It's like a magic wand of sentiment they wave over harm.

Also (yes I know my office is a mess, shut up) I went to the Harvest Art & Book Fair the other day and there was a local artist doing LIVE PET PORTRAITS IN MARKER and I was like "CAN YOU DO MY LIL DISASTER" and it was near the end of the day, so I agreed to get it mailed LOOKIT

Also I have not bought Oreos for a REALLY long time (not sure why, because I love them) and the other day at the drugstore the 'brown sugar bubble tea' flavour was on super sale -- I think $2? -- so I was like "Pfft, they're probably on sale because they're gross" and friends they are not gross

Premee Mohamed

They are tasty and I regret a) buying two packages and b) not buying more than two packages Mainly because I ate too many at once and my stomach hurts but also when they are gone I will not have any more which is very sad
