Hi Eleanor! I thought you'd appreciate my favourite picture of a "tree", which looks exactly how kids draw them and was very uncanny in person:
(its ivy on a tall tree stump.)
My god, that thing is like. The ur-tree. Spectacular
I know I need to stop with these but I just can't stop
GOD OKAY ALRIGHT
Imagine a boyband and one of them chooses the gimmick "the poiosner"
Like in interviews he drops hints that he's taken lives ans he jokes about not leaving your food with him and all his clothes have like snakes or green vials in the design
I stand by this, every boy band needs the bad boy, the nice one, the sensitive one, the athletic one and The Poisoner

"Some twelve thousand muskets were double-loaded, and half of those more than triple. One rifle even had twenty-three balls in the barrel — which is absurd. These soldiers had been thoroughly drilled by their officers. Muskets, they all knew, were designed to discharge one ball at a time. So what were they doing? Only much later did historians figure it out: loading a gun is the perfect excuse not to shoot it. And if it happened to be loaded already, well, you just loaded it again. And again.

Look I know this is a scientific publication but you don’t understand— we need to include milk and cookies in the photo. We have to. Otherwise the science suffers
