Just get done with an article read that was way more emotional than I needed this morning and then the top comment makes me damn near fall over laughing.

My question is - why is the only sane respondent listed last?

Physicist Emil Kowalski from Baden, Switzerland, proposed that terminal storage locations be constructed in such a way that future generations could reach them only with a high technical ability. The probability of an unwanted breach would then become extremely small. Kowalski expected that cultures able to perform such excavations and drilling would be able to detect radioactive material and be aware of its dangers.

Also I've been thinking about making one of these. I already made ones for me and my partner that say "goblin" and "mothman" a la

(I can't find the og Tumblr post)

In retrospect the fact that I felt like I should be drawn to banshee, harpy, selkie or succubus, but was ultimately much more drawn to goblin and cryptid was an early sign of me not really having a gender (jokes on me, now I'm an agendered succubus. Well, sort of. It turns out succubus vs incubus has more to do with bottoming / topping than it does with gender and I'm a switch so I AM a concubus, but NOT because of my gender or lack thereof).

you're welcome for the laughter
