🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! Mindful that biology has been weaponized against the LGBTQ community by people who don’t know much about biology, I’m making daily, queer, biologically themed posts for #PrideMonth2026 6/23: sapphic marmots [photo: Ken Campbell]

I'm not looking to criticize this post, but I think there's interesting semi-related bits of Jewish theology to talk about: Lo Bashamayim Hi ("Not in Heaven") and The Oven of Akhnai Eruvs (the 'fishing line' in the post) Sins against G-d vs sins against other people 🧵

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

Children of the Ninth 2022 Reading medieval fantasy books has put me in a mood and even tho this is old, it still brings fond memories <3

As someone who has accidentally burned myself with 12% hydrogen peroxide I hope these guys are double-gloving But also lol at the tiny bottles and homoeopathic doses?

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! Mindful that biology has been weaponized against the LGBTQ community by people who don’t know much about biology, I’m making daily, queer, biologically themed posts for #PrideMonth2026 6/9: Female whip tail lizards have sex with each other. There are no male whip tale lizards.

Do you ever remember how gay Centaurworld was? God we were so blessed

I just think rabbits are really good you guys

This is what peak performance looks like

For anyone wondering, this is a pika, they are a relative of rabbits and live in higher altitudes on rock outcroppings they spend their summers gathering moss and grass to make their dens warm and cozy for the winter months.

I’ve never felt so seen in my life

Illustrating the #pokemon legendary birds in a kinda vintage scientific illustration kinda style, our second entry is #zapdos which given the beak and the apparently nesting on a large man made structure made me think it could be stork adjacent? #pokemonart

He's perfect

Wow. I really hate targeted ads more now.

Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

I was backer 1000! Go back this it's the most incredible comic

"I Contain Multitudes" This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today. The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (🧵) Henry Osborn (1857–1935), responsible for naming of Tyrannosaurus & Velociraptor; president of ANHM. Co-founder of the American Eugenics Society. Contributing to books later praised by Hitler.

Ah yes, those famously vampiric hystricomorph teeth #noAI #vetmed

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

This iron age man buried in Sussex was so proud of his awesome helmet that he developed an archaeologically detectable neck injury from wearing it so often.

I think about this tweet more and more each day

This is crazy: platypus hairs have unique, hollow melanosomes (pigment cells) that may have an additional function unrelated to the brown color they produce: A unique hollow melanosome morphology in the hairs of the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus royalsocietypublishing.org/rsbl/article...

Placeholder assets in a game should look obnoxiously temporary, so obvious that no one would mistake it for the final asset. In past games we've used the doge dog (rip) as an icon, hot pink versions of characters, our CEO's head, etc. If you use a temp asset that seems passable, it may stay there.

that guns-out pose when the water starts pouring down on him is on my list of things so hot they have the power to transcend the sexual orientation of the viewer, along with David Bowie at the ball in “Labyrinth,” Clea Duvall’s black club shirt in “But I’m a Cheerleader,” and Fox Robin Hood in drag

A couple of autistic friends who also have dyscalculia have managed to compensate for their spiky skill set between the three of them, an indeterminate number of reports have indicated.

Extraordinarily refreshing to see a veterinary organisation not using AI in its promo material, oh my god (I think VIN has had AI stuff in the past which has made me tear my hair out but look how cute that mascot is. This is what we stand to lose)
