Hello! (You, specifically, not the whole world)

Chemistry and Biochemistry

These are the main subjects (and their variations and overlap) that I contribute to Wikipedia.

I started doing work in cannabinoids in 2012 and expanded to terpenes, first in cannabis then in angiosperms generally.

Then I progressed to tryptamines and phenethylamines, with an aim to the emerging legimitate medical applications of psychedelics.

Thereafter I did a lot of work recently on fentanyl and its many analogues, and their role in the opioid epidemic. This includes work on traditional opiates, both licit such as codeine and oxycodone, and illicit, such as heroin and monoacetylmorphine.

More recently I have been looking at PFAS compounds and other fluorocarbon compounds that are showing up in the water tables all over the world and causing big regulatory changes, like with the EPA in the USA.

But honestly any crazy organic chemistry structure, biochemistry puzzle, molecular biology, and cell biology puzzle is right up my alley. When we shift from cells to tissues I start to ease off a bit. Also fond of particle physics and physical chemistry on the other side. Professionally I work a lot with instrumentation for organics such as Mass spectrometry and chromatography.

History and Linguistics

Some caligraphy in Nastaliq hand

Although I do not contribute much this is a field where I use lots of content from Wikipedia, both for studying human history and the complexity of human languages and writing systems. Especially anything Greek or Ancient Greek: ευχαριστος. Also like to do stuff in arabic, farsi, and have some background in Western European Languages such as Italian, Spanish, and small amounts of the rest. Oh and English.

Book I of The Illiad μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ ἔθηκε, πολλὰς δ᾽ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι, Διὸς δ᾽ ἐτελείετο βουλή, ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς. τίς τ᾽ ἄρ σφωε θεῶν ἔριδι ξυνέηκε μάχεσθαι; Λητοῦς καὶ Διὸς υἱός: ὃ γὰρ βασιλῆϊ χολωθεὶς νοῦσον ἀνὰ στρατὸν ὄρσε κακήν, ὀλέκοντο δὲ λαοί, οὕνεκα τὸν Χρύσην ἠτίμασεν ἀρητῆρα Ἀτρεΐδης: ὃ γὰρ ἦλθε θοὰς ἐπὶ νῆας Ἀχαιῶν λυσόμενός τε θύγατρα φέρων τ᾽ ἀπερείσι᾽ ἄποινα, στέμματ᾽ ἔχων ἐν χερσὶν ἑκηβόλου Ἀπόλλωνος χρυσέῳ ἀνὰ σκήπτρῳ, καὶ λίσσετο πάντας Ἀχαιούς, Ἀτρεΐδα δὲ μάλιστα δύω, κοσμήτορε λαῶν: Ἀτρεΐδαι τε καὶ ἄλλοι ἐϋκνήμιδες Ἀχαιοί, ὑμῖν μὲν θεοὶ δοῖεν Ὀλύμπια δώματ᾽ ἔχοντες ἐκπέρσαι Πριάμοιο πόλιν, εὖ δ᾽ οἴκαδ᾽ ἱκέσθαι: παῖδα δ᾽ ἐμοὶ λύσαιτε φίλην, τὰ δ᾽ ἄποινα δέχεσθαι, ἁζόμενοι Διὸς υἱὸν ἑκηβόλον Ἀπόλλωνα. ἔνθ᾽ ἄλλοι μὲν πάντες ἐπευφήμησαν Ἀχαιοὶ αἰδεῖσθαί θ᾽ ἱερῆα καὶ ἀγλαὰ δέχθαι ἄποινα: ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ Ἀτρεΐδῃ Ἀγαμέμνονι ἥνδανε θυμῷ, ἀλλὰ κακῶς ἀφίει, κρατερὸν δ᾽ ἐπὶ μῦθον ἔτελλε: μή σε γέρον κοίλῃσιν ἐγὼ παρὰ νηυσὶ κιχείω ἢ νῦν δηθύνοντ᾽ ἢ ὕστερον αὖτις ἰόντα, μή νύ τοι οὐ χραίσμῃ σκῆπτρον καὶ στέμμα θεοῖο: τὴν δ᾽ ἐγὼ οὐ λύσω: πρίν μιν καὶ γῆρας ἔπεισιν ἡμετέρῳ ἐνὶ οἴκῳ ἐν Ἄργεϊ τηλόθι πάτρης ἱστὸν ἐποιχομένην καὶ ἐμὸν λέχος ἀντιόωσαν: ἀλλ᾽ ἴθι μή μ᾽ ἐρέθιζε σαώτερος ὥς κε νέηαι.

Art and Homoerotica

Some beautiful modern art

“I’d kiss you, of course. But I’d probably get carried away and start sucking on your earlobe. I’d stick my tongue in your ear while I was untying that lovely blue sash of yours.” “… Interesting.” “Oh, it’s interesting now, is it Mr. Spock? What if the next thing I did was slip two of your fingers into my mouth and suck them until your cock was hard?” “Jim.” Spock said in a warning tone as though it was a statement in and of itself.

“Hear me out Spock. I think you’ll find this fascinating. So… If I was there with you now, after having my way with your delicious pointed ears I’d bring both your hands to rest on the pillow above your head and slide down your body so that my face was over your chest. I’d take your nipple into my mouth and nibble it until it was stiff. I’d blow cool air on it to make you shiver, then flick it with the tip of my tongue. When I finished with one I’d lick the other until it was sufficiently hard. I’d rub the pads of my thumbs over them both while dragging my tongue down the center of your body and dipping it into your navel… just to tease you. I’d move down further and kiss your hipbones until you were trembling for me.
