underwaterstarshine: the artist and the scientist

fantastic algae cell chart from three potato four

i know this makes me incredibly weird but i have this horrible desire to, whenever i do get a place, fill it with the nerdiest things like first editions of novels, old astrology charts, a vintage telescope, an old microscope (i've actually seen the coolest one for 20 dollars, in an antique store in upstate new york, it came in this cool wooden case with slides, and bottles and a burner and things, and i am so disappointed in myself for not buying it)

actually one of my favorite and wonderful purchases over the past summer were 6 shot glasses that look like some kind of scientific test tube, it is really weird though because when it comes to science i have an incredibly hard time getting excited about it unless i'm really interested in a certain subject and i can barely even pay attention in my biology class right now

still i positively love doing things that appear scientific (like dyeing fabric or cooking), i guess i'm just too lazy to put in the work and maybe i'll just settle for buying nerdy glasses, that look horrible on me, and beautiful old educational things that are now outdated and settle on doing my own nerdy things that i don't have trouble enjoying
