I went to Chapters this evening to get a gift for the bday party my 9yo is attending tomorrow, and came across this.

I could not resist. It’s weighted and so soft and squishy and I’m obsessed 😍

Ummmmm is this Pokémon just a pair of truck nuts?
A screen cap of a Pokémon card, the name of which is melmetal. It appears to be a pair of shiny silver metal testicles, with a gold-coloured bolt on top. There are some crackling electricity-type effects happening around some large amorphous dark grey metallic blobs on either side. It’s all very confusing.

Happy Halloween, witches ✌🏼👻🎃🧙‍♀️🌙🦇
Leah is a white woman with shoulder-length brown hair and a round face with glasses on. She is wearing a Halloween costume consisting of a renaissance-style long green dress with huge bell sleeves and the skirt hiked up on one side. She is also wearing a dark floral brocade corset. She is smiling and doing a peace sign at the camera

Hey, wanna know something cool?
When you culture E. Coli on EMB agar medium, it precipitates the salts out of the medium and creates a metallic green colour on the colonies. Pretty freaking cool! (The purple is P. fluorescens)
A culture of different bacteria on differential media. The media is EMB agar and shows up orange on this image. The top left and bottom left quadrants contain bright metallic green streaks of E. coli bacteria, while the bottom left has a bright pink culture of P. fluorescens. The top right contains no colonies (this type of media inhibits growth of the bacteria streaked there)

This is (half of) what we are doing in Molecular Biology this semester. It’s fascinating to learn about and cool as hell to actually make happen. I fucking love science. 🧬🧫🥼🧪

Got these very silly, VERY nerdy science stickers for my lab notebooks and am feeling very 12-years-old in the best possible way rn. 🤓🧬👩🏼‍🔬
A dark blue-covered lab notebook, totally covered in various DNA- and lab-related large vinyl stickers. A coral red-covered lab notebook, totally covered in various molecular biology- and lab-related large vinyl stickers.

Starting to get good at DNA extraction. Got our extraction done first in the lab today, and had a perfect 260/280 ratio (indicates purity and presence or lack of contamination) and strong concentration of DNA. 🤓🧬👩🏼‍🔬
A photo of an excel table showing results from UV/VIS spectrophotometry results of a sample of DNA extracted from E. coli. It shows strong values for 260/280 (ideal is over 1.8) and a strong concentration of DNA (13.5ng/uL) A top-down look at a DNA lab bench. A set of micropipettes in the forefront, with a tube rack containing reagents and liquid bacterial culture in the centre, and a smaller tube rack with micro-centrifuge tubes holding other reagents and the DNA extraction sample.

DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WITH GLOVES THAT HAVE TOUCHED PLATES 😬🧫
A photo of the inside of a lab notebook (for a college microbiology class) which lists bacteria that will be handled/examined which includes E. Coli, staphylococcus epidermis, bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, micrococcus luteus, and bacillus megaterium.

I tried this on to wear to my sister's birthday dinner yesterday and my 9yo said "mom, it's giving cosplay"
😂😂😂 Too right, my dear.

(I didn't end up wearing the corset, just the dress underneath... I'll save the corset for a nerdier occasion)

SCIENCE IS SO COOL. Using just various concentrations of isopropyl alcohol, we separated the blue and red dyes out of grape Kool-Aid.
My prof even gave me one of the separation columns to take home and do the experiment with my kiddos 😍🥹 (shhh don't tell the college)
A beaker with some clear fluid inside sits underneath a syringe attached to a chromatography separation column. The inside of the column is red/pink with a dark blue line at the top. A beaker with some pinkish fluid inside sits underneath a syringe attached to a chromatography separation column. The inside of the column is blue with a dark blue line at the top. A graduated cylinder with liquid inside. The liquid has a gradient of colour ranging from clear at the top, through blue, purple, and pink, and back to clear at the bottom.

There's a heat warning in effect here, and our A/C went out last, seemingly for the whole building. We live in public housing which means maintenance doesn't work weekends. The emergency answering service sent techs to individual units but that's not gonna help.

Just over here melting 🥵🥵🥵
A screen cap of a weather app, showing severe weather "heat warning in effect" alert at the top, and temp rising to 31 degrees celcius by 3pm. This number does not include the humidex value which will make it feel more like 40 degrees celcius today.

HA
A screenshot of an email from Google, that reads "[redacted] LLP replied to your review" Leah's pictured review reads "I was assigned a lawyer to help me with my simple divorce, with a legal aid certificate as I'm a full-time student and single mom. Met with lawyer in early April. Needed my divorce filed on May 21st." Rest of Leah's review is cut off but details are in above bsky post. Law firm's reply reads "Hi Leah. We are so sorry this has been your experience. Please reach out to us so we can work with you to make this right."

Life: MADE
Leah is a white woman with lots of tattoos and purple hair, she is gleefully petting a black and white baby pygmy goat while kneeling on grass. There is a white and black goat resting up against her knees. She is in heaven.

I feel like ME again 🥰

A better pic my artist took 🥰

New ink 😍🐦‍🔥
A large, vibrantly coloured, and fresh tattoo of a Phoenix in traditional style with orange, purple, and teal colours. Under the phoenix is a smaller black lined teapot tattoo.

I've passed this sign a few times and finally had the chance to snap a pic. Fucking wild marketing ☠️
A sign on a fence around a graveyard reads "come spend eternity with us. Rest assured; we have room!"

Today in bio lab we assembled (surprisingly challenging) model DNA molecules and it brought me right back to grade school. Even the simple stuff in this course is fun. 🤓
Leah has a big smile on her face. She is sitting in a science lab, holding up a large (about a foot tall) model of a DNA double helix that's been constructed from brightly coloured plastic bricks, kind of like adult Lego.

Did a little self-care mani tonight (it was those semi-cured gel strips... Took forever to put on and WAY more fiddly than just gel polish but fun for a one-time thing)
The rest of the weekend is pretty much all homework 😅
Leah is making an awkward claw shape with her hand to show off the DIY gel manicure she has done. Each nail is a different colour - pink, red, blue, and one is clear with little silver and yellow stars and moons.

I finally got my first test mark back and y'all I am so dang proud. I was SO nervous about this content and I studied harder than I have ever studied for anything in my life 🥹

Tea and toast pairs well with Forensics homework.
A desktop with a plate of toast (sourdough with apricot jam) and a handmade rainbow drip mug with milky tea. Beside the snack is a worksheet with questions about converting units and calculating the concentration of solutions. A red mechanical pencil sits on top of the worksheet.
