this also explains why today's board was typed as a "copse" even though literally not one single consonant repeated

Screencap of the Outlier board for day 103. At the top of the board is a green tag reading "COPSE". I'm not going to list all the letters on the board, but there are NO repeated consonants --- the only repeated letters are 2 Es, 2 Os, and 2 Us.

Screen cap showing the different board types, described at the top with "Each day's board has a terrain. Same rules, different texture." Second from the bottom is "Copse," which is described as "3-4 consonants appear twice. LL, TT, SS, RR words work."

READER, THEY DO NOT

obsessed with frustrated textbook authors, as a concept

Picture of a snippet from a physics textbook discussing electricity and magnetism. The book reads: "The constant ϵ_0 is called (ludicrously) the permittivity of free space."

Screenshot of the infamous Nathan Fielder tweet, featuring a picture of him by himself, laughing. The caption reads: "Out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of friends. They're all just out of frame, laughing too."

the #oneofthetwo hashtag is making me genuinely emotional. it's so powerful to see our community when it so often feels we are standing on our own proud to be out here #saltingthevibes with so many powerful, brave, beautiful people 🥹 (also making me want to make more mask chains!)

Selfie of a young woman (me) sitting in a car, looking into the camera. I have long wavy brown hair, blue eyes, and am wearing a black KN95 face mask, blue jeans, and a black sweatshirt that reads "FUGUE STATE" across the chest in the style of a university holdie. The car is safely parked in a parking lot. I am preparing to go teach a classroom full of community college physics students and show them that having health and accessibility requirements is NOT mutually exclusive with having a career in the hard sciences!

Screencap of an iconic tweet by @AlexBlechman from November 8, 2021. It reads:

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

this Johnny Cash? THIS BOB DYLAN??

Screencap of a Tumblr post by user traumatizedbyeggsandwich that reads: "Every photo of Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan together looks like a respectable Mafia boss father named Giovanni and his weird son who hits sometimes." It was reblogged by user overratedbydumbass, who included a picture of Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. Cash is on the left, looking cool and intimidating as hell in a white button up and black v-neck sweater. He is staring down the camera and pointing at the viewer, and has one arm around Dylan. Bob Dylan (right) looks like his weird son who bites sometimes.

yesterday was this lil goober's 4 year adoptiversary too!! how lucky are we to have love like this in our lives

A little white cat with some apricot striping. She is curled up on a purple bed, partially flipped upside down. Her head is butted against my hand, her eyes are closed, and her front paws are above her head. Her tiny tongue is slightly blepped out of her mouth. She is very small and very cute.

thrilled to announce I'll be starting a PhD in medical physics at the University of British Columbia this fall!!

Meme based on The Matrix. First slide shows Morpheus offering Neo two pills, one red (labeled "low pay") and one blue (labeled "insane pressure"). Next slide is a shot of Neo (labeled "academic PhDs") considering the pills. Final slide is Morpheus asking "Did you just take both pills?"
