  • I got to see it opening weekend with my mom and stepdad who took me to see it because I wasn’t 13 yet but was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs to a more academic extent than your average 9 year old even has any business being. The box office had a giant hand sculpted pterodactyl in a nest on top of it which was one of the coolest things ever.

    You should also definitely read the books, there is a much stronger emphasis on how capitalism makes everything shittier and endangers workers and compromises scientific integrity, which makes it especially shameful that toward the end of his life Crichton turned into a fuckin climate change denying right wing crank.

















  • I would just tell her that you should really not ever “create an account for your newborn child” who may not want their whole childhood documented on the internet forever later on in their life.

    For all you know they may not turn out to keep being your daughter forever. It’s kind of a gross overstepping of parental boundaries and something that should be left for them to decide.

    This doesn’t mean you can’t keep records in case they want them in the future but as someone that grew up well before all this social media stuff it sort of terrifies me regarding the privacy and agency of younger generations.

    Makes me glad I have always been extremely averse to having any sort of photos of me or any of my personal information anywhere online that I did not post till well into my 30s.

    Do with this information what you will but I had that boundary crossed just with photos and such shared around way before I had any way to consent to it and some aspects still make me feel violated to this day and there is nothing I can do about it.


  • When I was out in SD recently the temperature was reaching 100F or above frequently and it sucked but it wasn’t that bad. Where I live in Cali and it gets that hot by the beach with humidity well into the 70% range sometimes I literally felt like I was about to die just sitting inside with a fan blowing right at me. Humidity is such a huge factor.
