Our Thoughts Are Stars : Shank you science.

It's a Monday.
It's also (finally) MARCH! Which hopefully means spring is on the horizon- know what that means, ladies? It means flip flops and crocuses and my favorite color (green!) everywhere. I know y'all may not enjoy the outdoors as much as me, but I cannot wait to read outside in the sun and go walking and running again. Every time the seasons change I anticipate it like a kid waits for Christmas. It's pretty sad.
*obligatory part of the post in which I respond to all of your posts from last week*
Mercy- Your post was very aesthetically pleasing (it looked pretty). Minus the Plushanko. I hate all of you. ;)
Rose- It's perfectly normal to feel like a fish out of water in your present time period. What if someday kids feel like they should have been born in the 2010's? (of course, at that point time travel will be a reality, so it will be a different kind of nostalgia). Also, I wanted to be the first to wish you a HAPPY (almost) 15TH BIRTHDAY!!


accurately describes how I feel about you getting older.

^the only song anyone is ever allowed to sing to you on your birthday^

     Grace- I agree, the week we spent together was extra special. And creepy. Which was most of the reason why it was special. Your puppy looks ADORABLE and we cannot wait to meet her (maybe soon). Also, I'm listening to Roy Kim's full album that you posted on Thursday and I love it rapturously :)
    So, since I am an almost high school graduate, as well as a survivor of biology and chem, I thought I would spend this post refuting some scientific myths which are widely believed by the rest of the world. I know at least Rose and Mercy will find this kind of boring, so I'm adding pretty pictures to compensate for my nerdy spiel.
    1) the world is round. I'm not crazy, nor am I anti-Columbus. The world is actually an ellipse (like an oval). Also, maps and globes are very disproportionate. Africa is really about three times as big as North America, but some cartographer thought misrepresenting the size of Third World Countries would make us feel less guilty about our wealth *end emotional inactivist rant*

I like this because of the trees. It kind of has nothing to do with what I'm talking to but I'm trying to appeal to our younger readers, so ;)

2) Charles Darwin refuted his Theory of Evolution on his deathbed. There is no concrete evidence of this. Although I think macroevolution is a little far-fetched, you can't blame the man for sticking to what he thinks is true.

Charlie the hipster.

3) Confarction means chest pain. Guys, I lied to you. The correct word is infarction. Confarction isn't even a word. It's just fun to say. I thought it was real though, I swear.

although if a confarction was a thing I suspect it would somewhat resemble John Green's happy dance.

So, that's all I've got. And, maybe my anti-scientific facts are inaccurate, but the fact is that everything we believe in that isn't Jesus is fallible.
