Top 15 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

Original prompt: Top 10 travel destinations on Earth, written by an alien for future ET tourists

  1. Antarctica: A spot so exclusive, very few humans even go there
  2. The Great Pyramids of Giza: Some humans, oddly enough, believe we made them
  3. Studios in Hollywood: Humans place a lot of value in their "movies" and "television" so see where it gets made!
  4. Venice: Soon to be the next Atlantis (don't tell the humans about that city though)
  5. The Mariana Trench: Visit the deepest spot on this planet. Humans know so little about the ocean that this is truly a chance to be daring on a foreign planet
  6. Mount Everest: The highest point on this planet, well worth the visit. Plus it's also a graveyard if you think about it and are into that sort of thing
  7. Göbekli Tepe: This is believed to be the oldest surviving building on the planet
  8. Bingham Canyon Mine: I know, I know, this is all over the posters for Earth because we can see it from space, but it really is beautiful and worth a trip
  9. La Brea Tar Pits: You can seethe creatures that we first saw when we spotted Earth
  10. The tablets displaying the Epic of Gilgamesh: This is the earliest surviving notable literature and the second oldest religious text on Earth. Some believe it is still a key text to the creatures called humans
  11. Najaf cemetery in Iraq: This is the largest cemetary on Earth. You can learn so much about a species by how they treat their dead
  12. Tokyo: Want to see a lot of humans rushing about in an urban habitat? This is your place as it is the most populated urban center in the world
  13. Greenland: Want to see more of Earth's nature and avoid humans? Visit the most sparsely populated country on Earth
  14. Brazil: Want to see a lot of kinds of Earth's flora and fauna? Hit up the most ecologically diverse country on the planet
  15. Dolní Věstonice: Want to know more about the strange creatures called Humans? Visit the oldest permanent human settlement that has ever been found

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
