#scicomm anyone noticed how many GLP-1 ads are out there? HULU with ads gives one every break.

#biology #ecology anyone have interesting parasite facts for my latest podcast episode?

#biologysky #biology writing an episode on parasitism and wondering, is a bacterial infection considered parasitism? Why or why not?

#psychologysky #psychology #scicomm Hi! I'm doing an episode of my podcast on how to teach kids about compliance techniques (foot in the door, reciprocity). What are some common misconceptions people might have about this topic?

#psychology #scicomm Since you guys loved my social identity theory episode, ep 11 and hopefully my 100+ view special is on compliance techniques! Get the kids learning about artificial scarcity and door in the face early so they don’t get scammed

#scicomm #sciencecommunication #teachersky What is incomplete dominance? Are genes destiny? Episode 10 of Help! I'm Teaching, DNA, is out now! spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/DAK2AIOY4Pb

#scifi #scifisky Between natural disasters and AI on the rise, I wrote about a future I hope doesn't come to pass. I call this Disconcerting Tale, "When Lifeboats are Yachts". medium.com/@gudewih/whe...

#scicomm after months of writing and posting random scifi stories, I'm finally ready to get back to Help! I'm Teaching. Next one's on DNA. Why does uracil exist, why are beneficial mutations rare, and what is epigenetics? Stay tuned! open.spotify.com/show/0U0QeyH...

#poetrysky #poem learned a lot last night about the negative impacts on a country hosting the World Cup. Wrote this.

#horrorsky #readersky #scifi A foolproof method of prisoner rehabilitation is unveiled to the public in this Disconcerting Tale I call, “A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Mind.” medium.com/@gudewih/a-m...

Wanted to introduce myself to my new followers. I post and write a lot. Sometimes it’s horror or sci fi, short prose or poetry, topical or just “what if this fucked up thing happened?” Enjoy!

Wrote a poem about a starship captain slashing the unnecessary, referring to no one in particular. #poetrysky #poem

#horror #horrorsky Society is done with a virus, but the virus isn’t done with them, in this Disconcerting Tale I call, “Back to Normal”. disconcertingtales.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/b...

#poetrysky #writersky #readersky saw light switch. Wrote a poem.

We will be open for submissions January 1–15, and looking forward to reading your eerie wild unpredictable stories that fracture reality, the heart, and the void.

#scicomm #teachersky What are some misconceptions about DNA? (E.g. All traits are controlled by a single gene)Or questions that might come up (“why can’t we mix human DNA and animal DNA to make hybrids” etc)? Doing an episode of Help I’m Teaching on it and want more minds!

#writingcommunity #writers #writersky #readersky NEURODIVERGENT opening scenes. Our cranky heroes save an anxious survivor from the once-neurotypical now-rabid Smilers. Beginning to think the allegory is a bit on the nose.

#horrorsky #horror #readersky for every roach you see, there’s a thousand you don’t. medium.com/@gudewih/roa...

#writersky #writingcommunity #readers #readersky My joke YA idea I had in the shower. In a world where people with normal dopamine and serotonin function are turned into shambling husks by a parasite, an eclectic crew of misfits seek out a therapist who may hold answers. I call it: NEURO-DIVERGENT.

#movies #moviesky something about “person in motorcycle beside person in horse” activates my monkey brain

medium.com/@gudewih/gon... #horror #horrorsky Why do we call fishing, “fishing”? We don’t call butchery “pigging”.

medium.com/p/ee6aa390a597 I watch too much Cutthroat Kitchen and tried to turn an episode into a post-apocalyptic drama

The 60s seemed fun

#booksky #readers #writersky #writers When the book is really good and then the author specifically mentions the woman he has spent an entire page describing is 17

wordpress.com/post/disconc... how my cat felt when I had to take her out of the carrier for TSA #writingcommunity #writersky #horrorsky

#writingcommunity #writersky #horrorsky prompt idea: think of a way that humans interact with animals (pets, zoos, farming, etc). Replace animals with humans and humans with aliens/deities/eldritch beings. Inspired by my experience getting a kitten through TSA 🐈‍⬛

Sometimes what your soul needs is to screw around on RPG Maker for a few hours.
