like when it goes "hey we're making these zeon guys personable, honourable, complicated" i'm like "yeah, war contains microcosms of humanity which contrast with its greater inhumanity, both to factions and conflict itself" and not toooo distracted by the whole 5 *billion* thing.

Elsewhere in the country, some microcosms to track that momentum:
- Ashley Esposito and Jamar Day's vote in the Baltimore school board race
- Brittany Kubicek in RI HD-05 (Rhode Island's state house)

i still have a soft fondness for it in my heart i just also think its a place of profound highs and lows. like within sf itself lives 1000 different little microcosms of the various crisises and changes its faced over the past few decades.

Fuck it's almost like the problems with the music industry are microcosms of the fundamental contradictions of neoliberal capitalist empire goddamn it

May I suggest also dividing the party up into social microcosms and then encouraging intergroup fear/distrust among them?

This happens at the public library every day. Just saying. We welcome you. We don’t judge you. We ask how we can help you. We treat you kindly.

(Well, we don’t usually have candy.🤷🏻‍♀️ But we have books. And other helpful stuff.)

Because libraries are 4 everyone. Libraries are microcosms of democracy.

if i was ever going to get more into social/political implications of my work, there would be real potential in some essay like "Hank Williams and Marilyn Monroe: The Microcosms of America's Beautiful Curse", or something like that

even back to my first "antiracism/antioppression" trainings 25 yrs ago, and in so many other microcosms i've seen since, there's a cycle when people get radicalized by disillusionment about their own power; for many, guilt dominates the early going. distancing, projection, reactive social sanctions.
she does capture the lingering cultural impression of Woke 1 - that it was about 'cancelling' and *social consequences* that made it feel mean-spirited and inaccessible to people who didn't speak the language. and that that's not a necessary part of liberation.

they are so afraid of being considered cringe they can't see they are already for the assholes they are trying to impress. truly tumblr has this tiny microcosms of absolute wtf takes and sometimes I stumble into one and all I can think is that they should teach class solidarity in schools.

ther is beauty in the nature around us. ther is systems at work, in even smaller microcosms below us. the planets move nd r living. we hav breath. we ar sparks, we r flames. we r inspiration.

n art exemplifies this. nothing may hav no meaning, but it doesnt have to b apathy or cynicism!

Texas and California generally come to completely different conclusions about how to function, but none of it is written in stone, because we are more alike in our DNA than not.

We're both microcosms of the entire United States. Smart people would pay closer attention.

Putting "Week X, Part Y" on the covers isn't that helpful when each titled is basically focused on mostly unrelated microcosms of the event...

You gotta be in a crazy bubble to be dropping the n-word as a non-black person in 2026

Disgusted but also concerned because I think the internet connects a lot of people but it also lets them retreat into their little microcosms of the internet via being able to train algorithms.

we took a brief delve into organic chemistry my beloathed and are now in microbiology because our microcosms are supposed to help us understand our cosmic significance? somehow? he has yet to really make that connection.

frats are literal lord of the flies / hunger games / survivor microcosms, training for cut-throat corporate & political careers.
it's skull & bones for maga minions.

(Is actually partially relevant, each society/people are microcosms of the global whole, and yes, sometimes everything can go bad, or everything good, but it's also super super nuanced and complex)

I hate social media almost as much as I hate myself and my art.

Like, who thought that it was a good idea to mass-scatter art communities into tiny fucking microcosms where you might find 0 people in 100 of them who like what you do?

I hate how disproportionate engagement feels here. I hate it.

However batshit the mansion was (when it wasn't like 12 different body swaps), you are never fully prepared for the madness of the Microcosms. The REAL Juggernaut starts tonight!
Our Juggernaut playthrough continues tonight at 7 pm CT! We've explored the mansion and uncovered its secrets... what awaits us in the bizarre Microcosm worlds within? twitch.tv/retropals

Do microcosms have teeny planets

Paper just accepted:

Plant and microbial diversity jointly shape ecosystem multifunctionality in alpine grassland microcosms

Will share details once available
