His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
“It is like confessing a murder”- on the implications of telling his friends about his theory. That was an interesting read thanks
wow this is like actually nicely written, it’s easy to scroll and read, it’s better than doomscrolling
That’s not even all of them, he also said “I hate a barnacle as no man ever did”.
But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids8 & today I hate them worse than everything so farewell & in a sweet frame of mind, I am | Ever yours | C. Darwin

oh weird, the link keeps getting mangled when I paste it.
Try the link now, removing the space I added to make it valid

the space is still there though?
https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/?docId=letters%2FDCP-LETT-3272.xmlthis works for me?
EDIT: This is bizzare. the forward slash between letters and DCP keeps getting replaced by %2F
It seems lemmy doesn’t like the direct letter url. But you can find it by searching: https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/search?keyword=DCP-LETT-3272.xml
It seems like they have a bug where they should be doing a url deencode on the document id url parameter, but they aren’t

Which Charles Darwin are you? I’m 23 jan 1863 Charles Darwin.
I’m 10 of September, 1860
And yet, you write. Curious.
I have a timed close-book exam today so I am of course 1 Oct 1861
I’m not happy about it.
11 March 1958 clockin in. Hate me some variety
Bold to pick a date 70 years after his death. In that case, I’m 1993 Darwin, rolling in his grave at the launch of the Darwin Awards.
Hahahaha opps the fartographer got me

Sounds like a regular programmer today.
Actually he sounds like a top-tier programmer today
I’m detecting a theme here.
Generally, he was not a fan of things
He did love eating every new animal he ran across.
Didn’t he have the most amount of trouble with his hammock? I recall from the Dollop episode on him this dude couldn’t get in our out of the damn thing like ever
Darwin was famously seasick, but also wanted to really look at birds and shit. Bad combination.
Same list for me every morning before the coffee.
Somebody should have just given him a Snickers.
I am very poorly today.
Poorly what?
Poorly everything.
Fuck bees though.
Dumb bees and their dumb honey.
You leave the bees alone or prepare to catch some hands my good sir and/or madame. Wasps can get fucked tho
It’s hip to fuck bees.
