Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Sometimes there is comfort in the familiar, even when the familiar is condescending

"It’s normal that things are not easy. It’s normal that things are not equally fun every minute, every day. Don’t give up easily." I spoke with Odile Eisenstein for @chemistryworld.com: www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/odil... #ChemSky #ScienceSky #SciSky

Find out what the emeritus professor – who also received France’s highest order of merit – can't leave home without, her thoughts on how science works best and why the arts are a vital part of her life.

I’m ready for another go #LeafsForever

For how fervently recipes insist on you using Medjool dates, I've never actually encountered a non-Medjool date.

Do any other writers also lack an internal monologue, or have I just chosen a precisely terrible career for myself?

Spotted a rabbit committing a heist

Suddenly I miss dog sitting

It is with a heavy heart that I share this "virtual Womb Wellness Temple" with my audience, as requested of me. Every day my eye balls read sentences no man was meant to see. The world's first Trauma-Informed AI Priestess.

APRIL - 1805 NAPOLEON IS MASTER OF EUROPE ONLY THE BRITISH FLEET STANDS BEFORE HIM THERE IS NOTHING IN NAVAL LAW STATING THAT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER CANNOT SERVE HIS MAJESTY AS CAPTAIN OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

You can’t have both homeopathy and the laws of physics. You need to pick one.

Let me know if you are expecting to get raptured so I can feed your cats.

It’s ok Zoe, no one saw 💕

The first and last mirror selfies I took in my UK apartment, ft. a common problem for me.

I’ve been shocked by hearing the original version of a song I didn’t know was a cover before, but never like hearing reggae Walking On The Moon by The Police.

Move over, ChatGPT. Newer AI platforms are aimed at academics and doctors and they're not supposed to hallucinate citations. I tested many of them, but especially Consensus AI. My latest for @mcgilloss.bsky.social. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

The flies infesting your house are probably not fruit flies. I may have left my fly problem behind when I moved, but if you're still suffering, check out some science-based tips in my latest article for the @mcgilloss.bsky.social: www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... #ChemSky #ScienceSky

Acupressure at the wrist for nausea post-op? Cochrane says "the evidence is very uncertain." Also? "Combined with antiemetics" it may reduce nausea. 🙄 Cc @caulfieldtim.bsky.social h/t @adamcvean.bsky.social www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10....

It's always nice to learn some chemistry about nature! Snowdrops became one of my favourite flowers when I moved to the UK. Learn some fascinating natural chemistry with the recording of @chemistryworld.com’s webinar for free here: www.chemistryworld.com/webinars/nat...

The one pitch rejection I didn't mind receiving

Met a real dude of a gray treefrog yesterday

RIP my filling 🪦

Thirty years ago, thousands of fossilized dinosaur eggs were discovered in Yunyang District in central China. Now, they've been radiatively dated for the first time, via a method that could find use worldwide, and I wrote about it for @cenmag.bsky.social! #ChemSky #ScienceSky

Like SUCH a bad idea. For your pet, for your wallet, and for every single human and animal your pet comes into contact with (or who comes into contact with a surface your pet has been in contact with). www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

I truly hope we as a society never forget about the cannabis PSAs made by the government of the Northwest Territories, that feature Weedini the genie, a raven named Roach, sentient Northern lights and Stoney the Inukshuk.

Hush for a moment, the trees are talking

The walls of Montreal are never boring

They say you can’t go home again, and then you find yourself in Montreal for the weekend

As summer fades, dahlias are blooming. This graphic looks at the chemical cause of their colours and why you won't spot a blue one! www.compoundchem.com/2021/09/12/d... #ChemSky 🧪

Health Canada has approved two COVID-19 vaccines for Canadians this fall: one from Moderna, the other from Pfizer-BioNTech. They target the LP.8.1 variant. lactualite.com/actualites/s...

Milkweed plants store their pollen in little sacs called pollinia. When pollinators visit, the pollinia get stuck to their feet, and when they fly off, the pollen sacs detach and go with them. Unless the bug isn’t strong enough to pull the pollinia free, in which case it may die trapped.

The poutine has been plentiful this past month

The Mindanao bleeding-heart dove or pigeon belongs to the genus Gallicolumba, which is named as a mash-up of the Latin genus names for chickens (Gallus) and pigeons (Columba) 🐓🕊️ They’re native to the Philippines, live mostly on the ground, and weigh about 200 grams fully grown.

The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. 🏙️ Scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation (of which light is a form) by particles of a much smaller wavelength.

I think my tomato wasn’t loved enough as a seedling

Rodents make up over 40% of all mammal species (roughly double the next most populated order, bats) 🐁🐿️🐀🦫

🐧 The Humboldt penguin is named after Alexander von Humboldt who has been called the father of ecology, geography and environmentalism. He has over 20 other namesake species, from squids (Dosidicus gigas, the Humboldt squid) 🦑 to skunks (Conepatus humboldtii) 🦨 and lilies (Lilium humboldtii) 🪷

It’s easier to assume that anyone advocating for vaccines is simply bought by Big Pharma, rather than face the more complex reality: pharmaceutical companies can behave badly at times, and still sometimes align with genuine public health goals.

Stickers, pins, and iron-on patches are all now available for my queer Game Changer designs! Thank you so much to @samreich.bsky.social & @dropout.tv for the kind permission to make and sell these! Every sale really helps with my own trans expenses and creating more queer art 🏳️‍⚧️ canopyrobin.etsy.com
