(I'm reading / rereading your series and going to start making a comment on each)

I read this one a month ago but forgot that I had. They're not just shaped like squares, it looks like they come in little Windows logos?

These can be found growing in some of the saltiest, most apparently "sterile" environments on earth, from brine pools to the Dead Sea to saltmaking pans. Bacteria and archaea constantly show us that virtually nothing on this earth is sterile. Even against the fiercest resistance, life can and will withstand. Become as the little square guys and refuse to die. Strain your body until you generate a cool new protein. Form an adhesive mat with your loved ones. Absorb the energy of the sun. Birth a new order.

I really loved this part. Please never stop posting
