If you linked up with Alice Hamilton, one of the most important industrial hygienists of our time and a personal hero of mine, I think you could have gotten away with it. Our refrigerators would still be literal boxes of ice but that’s chill. Lol.

That would have worked on me lol. Suggesting “I bite”??? HUGE red flag, one of the biggest. But tbh I think you’re out here no-scoping hunnies left and right, whether you’re intending to or not.

I like talking to you because I learn things. Listen to this: “ When the Woman's Medical School closed in 1902, Hamilton took a position as bacteriologist with the Memorial Institute for Infectious Diseases, working with Ludvig Hektoen.[17][29] During this time, she also formed a friendship with bacteriologist Ruth Tunnicliffe.[30]” Ever read something and just thought to yourself ‘Happy pride 🌈’?

Hmm 🤔🧐[…] Did you ever play that game, Myst? Trying to figure out what you’re into is like playing that game. Anyway, I don’t know what no-scoping entails?

Happy Pride to my girl Alice. See, if you went back in time to kill Thomas Midgley Jr, you, Alice, and Ruth could have had a righteous murder throuple. You'd be the chemist in the mix.

Funny you mention Myst. One of my uncles gave me Myst III for Christmas one year because he thought it'd make me smart. I never got past the first level because I didn't know what the hell was going on. [...] You can also just ask, I guess. Since you gave me Jeremy Hyslop. Although kind of a weird thing to answer when I'm scrubbing in between the burners on my stove.

And no-scoping is shooter video game slang. I don't play but a lot of my friends in undergrad were big into Call of Duty. No-scoping in a dating context means you pull effortlessly. Like you don't need a scope to make the shot. I say this because earlier Taby wanted to know what you're into so she could buy you a present (is what she said).

With our powers combined… A beautiful utopia filled with Women in STEM.

Same!! I hate Myst. Most confusing game ever created. […] It frustrates me when I don’t know things lol. So, I guess this is me asking.

Oh, I don’t think it’s like that. I think Taby has ‘take a baseball to the head’ disease and it’s probably temporary. But, thanks?

You know, it's easier to say what I'm not into lol. Blond(e)s, people who are super-shredded... And obviously I wouldn't be into someone without a sense of humor, but everybody says that.

[...] I guess [...] people I can't easily understand? Is that weird to say? I know I jump to conclusions a lot but for most of my life, I've been right about guessing what other people are thinking, what they want, or why they're acting a certain way. Even before my powers, I think I had sort of an advanced, superfast 눈치. So when I can't immediately clock someone or write them off as this or that, I think that's interesting. [...] And problem-solvers. I brute force things a lot, like intellectually speaking, and I do things without taking the time to think the issue through. So when people can hold a problem in their head and really work through it, I think that's impressive in like a turn-on sort of way. [...] And dark hair.

You’re gonna fucking hate Dr. Jorgensborg.

I’m already tired of hearing about this guy.

🤐

[…]

Can I say one mean thing? (About you)

Oh boy. Go ahead.

You’re giving off major Edward Cullen vibes right now lmao.

I give you a sincere answer to the extent I’m essentially mentally naked and you Twilight me? If your goal was to ensure I never looked you in the eye again, congratulations.

Well whatever. Great. Always happy to amuse.

Cannot, and actually will not, believe that this is your step too far. […] We’ve been way more mentally naked in front of each other. Flayed, even!.

And anyway, I think you like to amuse me.

[…] I do […] but this was like getting dropkicked into a glacial lake. Like I’m in permanent unserious guy status now. […] But actually maybe I needed that. Now I can wear my little jester hat without issue. 🤡

Anyway, to go back to what we were talking about before, you’re on Taby’s top ten hottest people list. So maybe it’s not baseball to the headitis.

You absolutely do not have jester’s privilege with me, I’ll just say that.

Top 10? Not a particularly difficult list to make.

Then what am I?? Court knave?

And not particularly difficult? Double ow. I didn’t make the list. Jesus. I didn’t realize I signed up for ~~a feelings~~ an ego excoriation when I said I’d wait up for you.

Hand of the Queen, obviously.

Taby wasn’t going to list you while they were talking to YOU. Sometimes I can’t tell if you’re delusional or like the Kasparov of manipulating compliments out of me. […] Why do you care so much what Taby thinks?

That’s better, I can live with that.

~~????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿?¿???¿ Mr. Sleepytime Bear knock me tf out get me out of here~~ Taby? Jump Off Tall Building Taby? Store Excess Kinetic Energy In Their Organs That Buzz Taby?? They definitely would tell me right to my face lmfao. I don’t care what Taby thinks, I’m just trying to relay you news you might find interesting. Don’t shoot the messenger, even if he has been 17 for a while.

That’s what I thought.

Well, maybe they just respect me more than they respect you because, let’s not forget!, you’re my boyfriend in the eyes of the public. So everyone can just keep their hotness opinions to themselves.

🫡 🦶 (<- Me showing feet as a sign of obeisance.)

Maybe. But like normal physics, I don’t think Taby follows the rules of social physics. […] Anyway that’s fine. Property of Annie Song. I am neither hot nor not hot because I am spoken for. Kind of freeing, actually.

~~I hate this too! In a different way!! This is a domestic (terrorism) partnership!!!~~

How’s your oven looking?

Very shiny, actually, and it didn’t take as long as I thought. Maybe I’ll clean out my fridge.

How are the moles? […] Evan is really upset about all that, you probably figured. […] I accidentally read her mind the other day. She wants to do something really drastic. I don’t think she will, but it was kind of alarming.

You're really committed to waiting up, huh?

They are unremarkable (sleeping). What is she thinking of doing? She better not try to free them. I am not prepared to stop a prison break right now.

Well yeah: 1) You have to walk back from the Research Building at 3AM, even though I know nothing will happen; and 2) Don’t you feel a little less tired about being awake at this time knowing someone else is awake with you?

[…] She had been thinking about that, but please don’t report her. I think she’s shifted gears to advocating for the moles. She doesn’t want to lose her job.

Aw, you want to make sure I get home safe. That's really sweet. (Now you say, "Your bar is so low, Annie." And I say, "Yes, I know. Please don't move it. I am practicing my limbo.") I do feel better. The awakest I've ever been, honestly.

So, you already spoke with her about it? I saw you jump in to try and talk her down on Isaiah's announcement post. Thank you, by the way. How confident are you that she won't try anything? I'm sorry, but these moles pose a real danger. Obviously, you know that.

"The bar is so low, Annie. Watch me do a long jump over it. PR 21 feet baybeeee. Oh no, don't limbo as I jump—aaaaAAAH."

I'm as confident as getting a three-second glimpse into her brainspace can make me. I don't really know Evan other than she cares about the moles a lot. I thought giving her some control over the situation would make her feel less helpless on their behalf. And I told her what she was thinking would be dangerous for the moles and everyone else. [...] I don't think she'll try anything now that Raine told her she can try to get the moles' consent for experimentation, but just so you have a heads up. Keep your antennae peeled, etc.
