I built myself a proud parent. It charges me 25¢ for a pat on the shoulder.

Help Tobin find a new home! 🐾 I started fostering a 7 year old potato that had lived in the shelter since January. He is the most dignified occasional poop eater that I’ve ever met and deserves the best life. So if you or anyone you know in Los Angeles has too many butt rubs laying around, please consider adopting him!

Tobin is good with my cat, my small dog (after a slow introduction) and loves every human I’ve ever introduced him to. Will howl a very sad song if left alone, but I’ve started crate training him so that will hopefully help.

I tweeted a tweet about Science! I read the article myself, and wrote the tweet myself and posted it myself. 🥹🥹🥹 I haven't been able to do anything like that for a year and a half. 😭 It only took me three days lol. But I did it.
Why is this cool?? Because it’s one step closer to making a new element - unbinilium - which would be the heaviest element ever synthesized. What’s cool? Scientist at Berkeley found a new way to make Livermorium (an element with 116 protons! So, just 4 protons away from Unbinilium) by putting titanium-50 in a cyclotron for 22 days and smashing it into another atom. And with all that energy, they only got out two atoms of Livermorium. 😅 Yes, this was tweeted by Dianna! futureleap.org/2024/08/moder…

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic. It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.
