Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Weirdlet- thank you for the Danny prompt. Today's, Good Boy- oh god, I was crying all day. I lost my father eight months ago, my favorite...

Thankyou, I try my best. I was told to make people cry, so I started with myself.

It’s a measure of pride that I can hit All Of The Buttons in my readers, so I’m sort of perversely glad that I made you cry. [Hugs sent, too, though. Sorry for your losses]

What a strange creature am I, to take such pride in toying with the emotions of others. It means I’m good at my work.

I was right. Humans are insane.

Challenge #00218: Goodbye, Good Boy

The last good year. Make me weep.

Every day, since she adopted Boy, had been the same. Etta got woken up by his slobbering kisses and his eternally cheerful, “Good morning, Boss.” and some vestigial orders he used to give his old master. Even after all this time, Boy obeyed his programming/training and looked after his owner.

This morning, the alarm went off before Boy’s cold nose pressed against her skin and his tongue lavished her with

Teen creates bio-plastic from banana peels

Sixteen-year-old Elif Bilgin of Turkey has developed a way to replace traditional petroleum-based plastic with banana peels.

The Turkish teen took home a US$50,000 prize for her project “Go Bananas!” Thursday after winning the second annual Scientific American Science in Action Award, associated with Google Science Fair.

“My project makes it possible to use banana peels, a waste material which is thrown away almost every day, in the

Random Bits of Geekery: ASOGE Part 2: Straight "Parallels" and Microinvalidations

bitterandcurt:

So let's say you're a straight person and you just said something innocuous and now your gay friend has gotten a little upset at you and you can't figure out why. They're not screaming at you or anything, but they've went on and on about "privilege" and "unfair advantages" and…

Read all of this. Please. It’s very important.

"How Super Are We All, Really?"

An FOH sympathizer and Scott have a civil debate on the issue of human supremacy vs. coexistence after she recognizes him during the reception preceding his third artistic experience post song. Common ground is tripped upon due to the relative naivete of both to the concept of creative expression.

(#00217)

He had bought a suit for this exhibition, and still waited for someone to call him out as a fraud. Scott still called his works ‘inspired by’ ikebana rather than

Challenge #00216: Icky-what?

Scott, inspired by watching Sara at the harp, is day 17 in his surprising new hobby, marked by his acumen and desire for a greater range of expression and development. Jean comments.

It was not an art usually appreciated in the making, it was something appreciated after it was finished. And even after seventeen days of practice, he was still too shy to show anyone but the Adriens.

He knew Ororo saw it, because she left encouraging little post-its on his desk.

The Nourishmat comes with everything you need to start growing organic vegetables: seeds, fertilizer and know-how.

The mats last about 5 years and are printed with nontoxic ink that won’t leach into the soil.

The mats use a technique called square foot gardening. “The key is planting in grids instead of rows so you can maximize your space,“ said Weiner. “More food in less space. We adapted the layout of the Nourishmat based on this popular method.

More of Danny's World!

The song ‘Purple Haze’ has an entirely different meaning here….

(#00215)

Danny didn’t notice while her skin was growing back, nor during her recovery from the operation she insisted on to make certain her outside matched her inside.

Intensive care and many post-op wards were in the hospital shelter as a matter of standard protocol.

It was when she was getting the hormone implant, when the team came and hurried her back down into the shelter, that

Challenge #00214: Typhoon

“…and that’s why I built an extra arm for it, just for high-fives.”

There was a reason the Mark-4 was a short-lived model. It was designed by a madman who happened to lead a character cult of engineers and builders. Only one team could pilot the beast that resulted.

“It’s unbeatable. Weapons everywhere we could fit them and a few places we couldn’t,” Jeung grinned. “The real trick will be

Challenge #00213: Emotional... Promotion

When Scott finds out that leaders can indeed be seen crying and still be respected, he adjusts accordingly.

Kitty had recorded it because she couldn’t believe it. She showed it to Jean because she still didn’t believe it after watching it fifteen times in a row.

“Wow,” Jean said. And, after the third view, “I was joking when I said Sara’s playing could make a statue cry, but - *damn*…”

Okay, fanfic writers: I double-dog dare you.

Open up the file of the last fic you worked on, copy the very first sentence of that fic (no cheating!), add it to the bottom of this post, and reblog.

Shallan Davar knew she should probably be asleep, but she simply didn’t feel tired. 

You like oranges. 

The little part of Sara that was keeping her alive in the middle of the coldest Valentine’s day New York could remember liked to sing.
