Vintage book covers I found on pinterest!
Come lay with me in a bed of moss. The butterflies will trickle from our mouths as we speak. Rainwater will fill the pits in our stomachs, we can dive into them another time. Our heads will fall from the clouds and land in eachothers laps. We can watch the saplings grow for a while. We’ll go home once my antlers have grown back, that way i wont forget this time.

Idaho Gothic
- The mountains seem so close, and you drive for miles on end, but the mountains never get closer or farther.
- The cities are large and loud like any other, but stay away from the small towns, it gets harder to leave each time you go.
- It’s the middle of winter, so why is it so warm outside? There hasn’t been snow for weeks. But the clouds are there, large and gray and ominous. Why won’t they leave?
- It snows for days. Heavy snow that’s colder than possible. The schools shut down for several days. Everyone is snowed in, and the drifts are piled so high you can barely see over them.
- You don’t go out at night. No one does. Nobody knows why, but they just don’t. Because something lurks in the almost impossible darkness.
- You find yourself peering out the window. It’s dark and all the lights are off; everyone is asleep. The only light comes from the streetlamp across the street. You don’t want to cross that street, but you don’t know why. Maybe it’s the scratches and pits dug into the street?
- Don’t play in the canal. Don’t go near the canal. It is angry; it will swallow you whole.
- Nothing ever happens. No crimes, no murder, no one ever dies in a car crash. It’s almost like the city is protecting you. They say it’s one of the safest places in the world to live. But you don’t believe it. Because you remember the ghosts that whisper terrifying words and set off car alarms and swish past windows.
- No one every moves. Not to or from. They always return. You go to school with the same people you’ve known for years. But you always feel bad when some does move from another state. Because they don’t know the rules. The rules that nobody says, but everyone knows.
- It’s raining again. That’s not new or abnormal, but everyone still turns to gaze out the windows at the howling winds. To listen to the angry pit-pat of the droplets. The skies are upset.
-You’re in the foothills. You’re not lost, but the dead grass and dry brush goes on forever. You can’t escape. You’re too afraid to try, anyway.
- There are either no trees, or that’s all there is for as far as the eye can see. There is never a middle, it’s always like this.
- You’ve heard the legends of horrible creatures that live in the forest of your summer camp. You’ve even saw one, but you’ll never tell. It’s taboo.
- If it’s a desert state, why is it always snowing or raining?
- The summers are hot and boiling, always over 100 degrees. The winters are cold and frozen, always below freezing. No one remembers spring; they don’t know if it happens anymore.
- For a “potato state” there is a disturbing lack of farms, potato or otherwise. But nobody talks about it. They don’t want to anger the land.
- The roads wind for ages. Where do they end? No one knows, and they don’t want to, either.
- The missionaries always turn up. They smile and ask the same questions. They all look alike. And they always come back, smiling. Always.
Idaho Gothic
People keep pronouncing it Boy-ZEE but every time you open your mouth to correct them you can’t speak, they keep chanting it while you clutch at your throat. It’s closing up faster.
Someone says that all there is out there are potato farms. You laugh but when you turn around you’re stranded in a field filled with potatoes and when you turn back around, the person is gone. There’s only potatoes.
You’re driving through a desert, an empty road ahead of you. Your eyes drift shut and when you open them you’re in the mountains, jagged peaks soaring above you and a hawk shrieks overhead. You swerve and you’re suddenly in the rolling plains. You blink again and you’re back in the desert. There’s no way to get off the highway.
You and your friends go down to float the river and you can hear their laughter just around the bend. You can’t catch up to them and the bend just keeps getting further away.
You’re stuck coming down from the mountains, waiting for cows to cross. You can’t see the end of the line of them, they just keep coming.
You’re at a Boise State football game. The turf is a dizzying, bright blue in the sunlight. It looks like it’s getting bigger, until you realize it’s slowly swallowing up the stadium. You realize it’s somehow 2010. It’s the Fiesta Bowl all over again and Coach Peterson smiles up at you with too many teeth. You’re falling in a pit of blue.
There’s a knock on your door. It’s smiling missionaries who don’t blink, they begin to talk in unison. You try to tell them you’re fine but it’s like they don’t see you. You shut the door quickly and you can hear them still talking. There’s a knock on your back door.
You thought Hells Canyon was just a name. But disappearances are multiplying and there’s a figure just past the ledge beckoning you closer.
“I’ll leave one day,” you say one year. “I’ll leave one day,” you say three years later. “I’ll leave one day,” you say —
idaho gothic:
it’s raining. it’s sunny. it’s 50 degrees. no one wants to go outside. everyone goes outside. everyone comes inside and they are very cold.
pictures of giant wolves begin to appear on facebook. people scoff, but they hunt less and less. there are large paw prints in the foothills. there are howls in the suburbs.
in the summer people lie around in the shade and make halfhearted jokes about how you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. you force a laugh as you quietly hide the blisters on your feet under your sunburnt fingers. so does everyone else. you can hear a faint sound of sizzling when you get too close to black pavement.
missionaries knock on your door. you answer. you see the badges. you give them a smile and tell them they don’t want you. they smile. they keep smiling. they both look the same. they smile as they buckle their helmets. that night they come back. they knock. they smile. the next night they come back. they knock. they smile. they smile.
one time you drove for forty five minutes to find something new to look at. the fog got thicker with every mile. when you finally parked on the side of a dirt road, you can hear a deep moaning from the other side of a small hill. you don’t walk over the hill. you go home. you say out loud, “strong winds this time of year.” you don’t believe it.
it’s called the gem state. maybe that’s why you keep finding mica in your hair when you wake up in the morning. maybe that’s why your bed feels like nothing but jagged points when you try to sleep.
the buildings here are old. the people are old. the sun feels old sometimes. the governor is old. he does not change. he will never change. the people will never change.
North Idaho Gothic
-The pines in the forest don’t bend, and they don’t break. No matter how heavy the rain or how strong the wind, they will stand perfectly still. Nobody asks why.
-Do not cut down the trees here. They will be back.
-The sky is blue, not a cloud to be seen. Rain falls. Nobody ever wonders why. Still, the sky is clear, and rain falls.
-Do not swim in Lake Pend Orielle. It will draw you in. Do not touch the water. The things that live in its depths are waiting.
-The towns may seem small, but you will get lost. The streets keep going, on and on, ever narrower. The buildings watch you lose your way, and they smile.
-The dogs don’t bark after nightfall. Ever. They keep their silent vigil until dawn. You wonder why, but the look in their eyes tells you everything.
-Nobody ever comes or goes. If someone does come, they won’t be here for long. They don’t know this land, or its laws. Sooner or later they will break one, and they will be gone.
-The missionaries will be at your door with a smile and you turn them away. They smile, and you turn them away. Something about the smile seems hollow, empty. You never look at their eyes, nobody does. Nobody knows what they will see, and they don’t want to find out.
-There are children’s toys littered around almost every yard, but you never see any children. Every time you look out the window, the toys have moved.
-On every street, all but one streetlamp is dead. No one goes out after nightfall, because they know what is under the dark streetlamps. If you ask them they will deny it, but they know.
-If you see a river stone with a hole in it, don’t touch it. And no matter what, never look through it. When you return home, it won’t be the same as when you left it.
-It’s quiet in the forest, but don’t let that deceive you. They are watching. You know it, because you hear the distant tinkle of windchimes and the chill on the back of your neck.
-Don’t wander. You won’t find your way back. You never will.
Qurenten Daydreams
Hear me out, ok?
It's raining outside
There is a fresh warm cup of >insert favourite warm beverage<
A book lies open on your lap as you peer from a window seat at beautiful mountains, pine trees, evergreens, and droplets of water.
You look up and the love of your life is laying in a blanket fort you two made previously, playing their favourite game.
They look up and smile at you and for a moment you forget you can't leave. In that moment, leaving doesn't even cross your mind.
~Signed, NSE
I can't wait for the day where I'll be sat around the dinner table with my closest friends, drinking and laughing, all of us much older- knowing that we did something, we made it and can now finally be content. Just being in each other's company and simply enjoying the moment, finally at peace with our lives and proud to have lived them.
Okay so upon watching Bernie’s statement I want to put a couple facts out there:
Bernie states he will no longer be actively campaigning
he states he will remain on the ballot and encourages you to continue to vote for him and gather delegates to make our voices and sway known
he will not be campaigning on another ballot (independent or Green Party ballot)
The media is continuing is campaign of misinformation to damage Bernies viability. Do not let them fool you. He is not going anywhere. He is merely shifting his focus to continue to help Americans through this pandemic.
An algal bouquet? Send it my way!
Low tides reveal a diverse array of algal species competing for space on a remote beach on the Makah tribal reservation on the Washington coast. Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary staff collaborate with Makah tribal staff to annually monitor seawater temperature and intertidal organisms, including the beautiful algae!

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.
My FAVORITE THING is researchers who wholeheartedly embrace the Ms. Frizzle aesthetic and wear their field of study on their literal sleeve. Everyone in the invasive crayfish consortium has tiny lobster-print shorts or socks. All the middle-aged dad scientists here at the lab have shirts with fish and/or fishing tackle patterns on them. My moss specimen and ammonite earrings keep getting noticed by women who are wearing silver fishbone-shaped or native plant-themed earrings themselves. Every single person on the outreach team has at least one shirt with an anchor pattern on it from Old Navy, and almost all the younger researchers have tattoos featuring their research interests – one fisheries biologist has a half-sleeve of native species she literally uses as an outreach tool. We are self-aware and having a blast with it, honestly.

To make the 3D animations I used UCSF Chimera, a free molecular modeling program. When scientists discover a new protein structure they upload it to the worldwide Protein Data Bank. Each entry is assigned a unique ID number, which you can use to call up the structure in programs like Chimera or PyMol.

I had to move back in with my toxic parents because of this. They claimed me as a dependent because they wanted the money. My campus job closed so that is another $200 a week I don’t get.
