I had some really ripe kimchi & some leftover black-eyed peas, so I made fried kimchi & black-eyed peas and it's freaking delicious #koreanfood (kind of) #cuisinemashup #kimchi #blackeyedpeas

Mine says Militarist/Strategist, but it's more of a 3-way split with Legalist & Mohist. I think this means "if you don't start it, I won't finish it" 🤷‍♀️

Results of an online test to see which Warring States philosophy a person is. This one says Militarist/Strategist

They were saying "Shut up" to the capsaicin in the sauce & it wasn't listening 🔥🥵

The structural formula of capsaicin, the chemical responsible for the heat from chilis, occupies the upper & left sides of the image. The word, Capsaicin, and it's chemical formula, C₁₈H₂₇NO₃, are in the center of the image. A red chili pepper occupies the lower right hand side of the image.

When the microcrack in your student's crucible waits until the very end of the experiment to fail. 😂 #lucky #Openings #BlueSkyArtShow #phonephotography #chem101 #chemlab #chemistrylab #chemistry #chemed #chemeducation #empiricalformula #MgO #redox #labart

Pieces of a white crucible are sitting on a round, reflective laboratory balance weighing pan. The crucible bottom has broken in half. The crucible lid rests top up in the upper right hand corner. One of the crucible bottom halves is in the lower right hand corner, while the other is on the center left hand side of the image.
The bottom pieces have opened to reveal the final product of magnesium (Mg) oxidation, magnesium oxide (MgO). The MgO is gray, black, and white, and resembles cigarette ash.

To prevent liquids from superheating, we add gravel-like material called boiling chips. They create conditions that allow for controlled boiling. They also create lovely bubble crescents #flowing continuously to the surface. #BlueSkyArtShow #phonephotography #ScienceMeetsArt #ArtMeetsScience

A clear 250 mL beaker that is half full of boiling water. The bubbles are forming a left-facing crescent. The background is a slightly out of focus laboratory fume hood.

An excellent #wuxia #cdrama, #PursuitofJade, is on @netflix.com. Good plot & directing, & it moves—no filler plots & scenes to make it drag. The acting chemistry between #ZhangLinghe & #TianXiwei is off the charts—especially their romance that is currently simmering just under the surface. #张凌赫 #田曦薇

Publicity poster for the cdrama, Pursuit of Jade. The image is made to look like a snowy watercolor painting. In the background are five traditional-style Chinese buildings. In front of them, are the main characters and chief supporting characters. The main characters, Xie Zheng/Yan Zheng (male lead) and Fan Changyu (female lead), are in the center. Zhang Linghe and Tian Xiwei play these roles, respectively.

My poor SIL in Connecticut is getting hammered by the blizzard. This was 3 hours ago & it's still coming down with high winds & massive drifts

Well, as long as everyone else is losing their minds while we wait for #Arirang to drop, let me add to the general delulu by offering this #Taehyung

A picture of BTS's V, aka Kim Taehyung, wearing a black caftan hood with a gold embroidered edge. He is looking directly into the camera with hooded eyes. There is a very tiny line of jewels extending down from the center lid under his eye. Tendrils of hookah smoke appear to be curling from his lips.

I think this is more of a #NewYear'sResolution than art, but the goal is to be able to read modern classics of #KoreanPoetry & watch #kdramas without subtitles. A big goal. Wish me luck. #NewYear #BlueSkyArtShow #kdrama #phonephotography

The fashion plates from this time are fascinating. Women were shown with no squareness to the shoulders—just this odd slope from the neck to the shoulder. To me, this style & other styles like it, seem to emphasize or try to create this sloped shoulder line Perhaps square shoulders weren't ladylike?

One of my #FavoriteThings is #koreanfood, especially if it's #homemade. It was hard to choose a dish, but my homemade Korean soy-braised eggs, #GyeranJorim ( #계란조림), are always so pretty. They're also little #umami bombs of joy. 😋 #BlueSkyArtShow #phonephotography

"A Perfect Day" Assateague Island National Seashore near Little Tom's Cove I posted this for Summer Daze, but its #sky deserves its own moment, too. #BlueSkyArtShow #phonephotography #Assateague

A tan sandy beach stretches across the bottom edge of the image. It is dotted with people walking or on blankets under brightly colored beach umbrellas. The rest of the image consists of glowing white "towering" cumulus clouds (cumulus congestus) stretching upward from the horizon into the bright blue sky.
