i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before
A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.
—Yiwei Chai, The Jacaranda Years
its not important but it drives me crazy that like. "the jacaranda years" does not exist. no such book exists. yiwei chai is real, she has a short story online (its good). and one poem (i dont get it...). anyway, i guess "the jacaranda years" could just be the name of this...microprose? or more likely, it's a work in progress, and she never finished it. but it's odd, right? its very hard to find details about yiwei chai online aside from this quote, which is very popular, has been reposted tons of places. apparently she studied astronomy at johns hopkins, or used to. good for her
