the fells
Silence Wildgoose was lost. Not an uncommon occurrence in the weighty mists that formed on the fells. Getting turned around on the moor was not something that ever put her on edge, but she sensed something else had descended to earth with the mists as well, and Silence was not pleased. She’d made herself clear before. They should not come back. They were not welcome.

crossover
Most folks can pretty easily picture an amount doubling, and even envisioning something ten or a hundred times its current size or intensity. But our imaginations often fail miserably when faced with exponential growth. Unfortunately, this inability (or unwillingness) to comprehend (or confront) rapid proportional change threatens our long-term viability as a species.

Changeling; Chapter 7
Everything hurts and everything is blurry. I think I can see black spots. I can definitely hear voices. I manage to lift my hands to my eyes, attempting to rub the fog from them. My muscles groan in protest, my arms feel so heavy it seems like a minor miracle I can keep them in the air as I rub my eyes. It takes a second for me to realize that my hands aren't bound. By the time I do, the voices have gone silent.

black hole head death
It’s a bummer, but whenever you try to cram too much into too small a space, black holes inevitably form. That’s the danger of trying to imagine the largest of numbers.

The Slide
The last thing Elias Thorne heard was the sound of a ceramic mug shattering against the hardwood floor. It was his favorite mug, the one with the chipped rim that he’d bought in a dusty market in Marrakesh thirty years ago. Then came the crushing pressure in his chest, like a grand piano dropped from a great height, followed by a silence so absolute it felt like a texture.

Eddie Munson Had the Perfect Character Arc in Stranger Things
While Stranger Things is known for creating many great characters, I think there is only one character that really stuck out to me. Eddie Munson, who was introduced in season 4, was hands down the best character added to the series. He was your 'outcast,' a metal head nerd who wasn't afraid to be himself, and also had a very kind heart.

Comet 3I/ATLAS on December 26, 2025: A Departing Visitor That Still Has Secrets to Reveal
Comet 3I/ATLAS is already leaving our cosmic neighborhood, quietly slipping away on a path that will take it beyond the Sun’s grasp forever. Yet even as it fades from easy view, this rare interstellar visitor continues to surprise astronomers.

so the Sherpas say
The great sins, so the Sherpas say, are to pick wildflowers and to threaten children. —Peter Matthiessen The Snow Leopard The children played in mud while parents worried. The rains had not stopped. They had never lasted this long in spring, never been this heavy.

the bend in the end
The age of life was short. The age of sentience much shorter. The age of understanding lasted only a moment. Though a quantum moment, fractally infinite.
