[ID: Four photos or scans of a poem titled A Toast to the Alchemists. The pictures are cropped so that the text is almost taking up the entire image. Behind the poem one can see the text on the back of the page shine through. The poem reads:
A Toast to the Alchemists
Alchmists,
you were right, it is
possible.
We have the proof now.
There are equations.
If you could come back
for a day, if you could
conjure yourself into
this chemistry classroom,
if you could read the
textbook or watch the
professor writing the
answers on the board…
Alchemists,
you would see that you
were right, even though
you didn’t know about
alpha and beta radiation,
even though you didn’t
understand isotopes,
you knew it was possible,
that some elements can
change into other elements,
that transmutation can
occur.
Alchemists,
there is proof now that
it is possible, although
each new element, having
a brief half-life, would
keep changing into other
things.
Alchemists,
you were right, you can
make anything, anything,
uranium, plutonium, tel-
lurium, mercury, copper,
cobalt, platinum, silver,
and gold, you can make
gold, an isotope so
radioactive it would
sparkle before your eyes.
Alchemists,
you were right.
It is magic.

Fact: you do not smoke weed
True. First of all I’ve never had a worthwhile high on weed so the drug doesn’t appeal to me at all, and second of all I have decided to stay away from all drugs with psychedelic effects because there’s a high chance that they might trigger my schizophrenia.

i saw this on the ground and my first thought was “some new legs for tavros”
i saw this on the ground, and my first thought was “wow, what a beautiful creature this is! how sad that it was injured and killed! now it can live out its days on this nice cool, grassy ground, and play with its children!”
