Who invented non-reflective glass? American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938. It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to live with someone who is going cold turkey off 50mg vyvanse because she forgot to get the prescription filled and has only just told you this is why she’s been insane this week… wonder no longer. It is HELL.

Someone please give me a lot of money so I can go to this.

Quite aside from the appalling behaviour of this band, it absolutely astonishes me that people can stand for 5 hours for anything. Makes me realise how this disability has been affecting me for so long. Nowadays I have 5 - 10 minutes standing tops before the pain gets too much.

The comments on this post are insane. A cute cartoon about an amusing cat has become a magnet for scolding. Where’s the @thelouvreof.bsky.social

Just say a “should have gone to specsavers” ad and thought Oh yeah I need to do that and made an appointment. I am, indeed, easily targeted by advertising.

I agree with this but also I didn’t know this actor’s name (recognised his face) before Tarantino did this so starting a rumour that Matthew Lillard set this whole thing up as a PR stunt 🤣

So it seems that the USA is nominating this woman as a baddie?

Frank Gehry died. Sad, one of the few modern architects I always found interesting and human (his work, I mean)

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

I fucking killed it today.

Apparently he was talking about superannuation?

I really wish someone could invent something that really does take my thoughts and ideas and turn it into a fully built out proposal and accompanying assets. AI is helpful but if anyone thinks it’s giving them something 100% done, they have different standards to me.

Thought I would try watching Broadchurch because Olivia Coleman and David Tennant has got to be worth a looksee… and then who is this enterprising young reporter?

I can’t reply to the baker but I wanted to and say: I have that book! The rolls like very like ciabatta (which is basically what they are) and my local Italian bakery has a line out the door every day for identical rolls. The shape is part of it! Also, yummm.

Fungi is taxonomy! Metaphor!! I am a bit pissed and a bit stoned (I am on a bus like a responsible adult fyi) but this is a THOUGHT

On the bus to day 1 of 3 days of workshops! They’re gifts to myself - one for business coaching and two for embroidery. Learning and growing and shit 😆😍😎🥳

Pussy pile.

Dominique Ansel (creator of the Cronut and the kouigh aman thing) has opened an Asian/French bakery in New York. His new thing is a Taro Mochi Lace Batter Donut.

The OG Simon's Cat film!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Just got some really good news but it’s not 💯 certain yet so I won’t share it but when it is I will look like this!

I sincerely hope there’s absolutely no question of any Australian involvement in this bullshit.

Bit of perineal sun worship happening this morning on the balcony

Off to the movies with Ms27, wearing a pink jumper and my newest completed embroidery, this floral brooch. I am pretty happy with how this one turned out! #craftsky

Now would be a great time to publicise a Miss Piggy movie.

Hold on. The US congress has SUBPOENAED an Australian government official to testify before a committee to defend her “zealot” behaviour in doing the bidding of OUR government?! WTAF IS THIS SHIT #auspol

Me today AND Friday

OMG STOP WTF the only American chain store I really like is now open in Sydney. Hmmmmm pretzel and lemonade yes pls

Big news around these parts…

The woman who put together this little gift bag needs to seek psychiatric attention immediately.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Michael Che with the joke of the night on SNL's Weekend Update.

I’m going to bed at 9pm on a clear, warm Saturday night and I am thrilled to be honest. Spent the evening watching second half of Wicked p1 and the Wizard of Oz, then ep 2 of the Stax documentary - otis and MLK die. Bed seems nice

Question: has Elphaba never had a bath?? #wicked

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Bonobos not chimpanzees

Watching doco about the founding of Stax in Memphis… Booker T. Jones was riding his bike by and saw that a record shop had been opened (by Estelle Axton, one of the founders) and he stopped and went in. BOOKER. T. MOTHERFUCKING JONES. What a time.

Me, wisely: "But *his* emails"

This is a reply (see the subject: re). Which begs the question, what is Deepak replying to??

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

Goodnight from me and the pussies

Ok I accidentally just turned on channel 10 news and they have this very dramatic soundtrack playing over the news? Like Dan tehan standing in a lobby talking about emissions is some high drama “stitch incoming” moment? #auspol

Nearly finished. Freestyle padded embroidery with some beads. Will become a brooch #embroidery 🪡🧵

I know there’s been a lot of Dismissal stuff, but has anyone seen a good examination of it particularly in light of recent political events here and overseas? #auspol

Wtf is this cooker bs being screened in NSW PARLIAMENT?! #nswpol #auspol @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @australia.theguardian.com

Unbelievable that the Democrats caved on this. I mean ffs, I don’t know why anyone would vote for them. Perfect example of the void in opposition leadership of the American system.
