Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

On Yelp. I think.

All is well that ends in pizza.

The only thing on Yelp! from this guy this year shows a 5-star review. I'm looking for commentary towards someone (Other than his questionable reviews of three Trump Hotels on the same day last November.)

When I looked it was five Trump Hotels on the same day. It was a message. [link]

She blocked him and reported him to Yelp, so that may be all there is to do.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

More pure science than technology, but happiness is discovering that the old jar hidden away at the back of the metals shelf in the stockroom at school is actually a jar of sodium. I may have rubbed my hands together and said "Muwah hah hah hah!"

Even better is whilst demonstrating to your students what happens when you drop a tiny piece of the stuff into water, expecting it to merely skitter about like a roomba generating hydrogen, it forkin' explodes. God, I love chemistry.

Awesome, DX! Man, I kinda miss chem lab. Even if I didn't want to be a chemist, in the long run

Our wings are not tired.

Nice! No doubt new appreciation and love of science happened among the students too.

Yup, as a teacher, all I want is for them to go home thinking "Okay, how can I use this in the real world?"

My degree is in Accounting, but I took sciences as electives. It was both as a contrast to my core subjects and because it was so interesting. Took Physics (my favorite), Chemistry, Astronomy, and Geology. Alas, my Chemistry class was pretty mathy and not so much explody. I perhaps should have noticed that I found my electives more interesting than the core classes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now I really want y'all to see my dad's fire science demo/lecture
