it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

His name is Bert Chan and I think he rocks! Here's a link to the "metabolic pathway" article so you can experience the clickable map in all its glory. The web design is kinda cool, divs positioned over the .svg background to make them HTML links! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabol...

There's a software engineer in Hong Kong who makes incredibly detailed scientific diagrams for wikipedia, like this clickable metro-style map of metabolic pathways!!!

THIS THIS THIS!! this is such a wonderful thread about posting art online and what you better focus on whenever you wanna post art for shits and giggles or for making it your career

as the resident ‘person that references fahrenheit 451 at every opportunity’ i can’t help but notice parallels between the uptick in people only reading/watching synopses of media instead of reading/watching the media itself and the references to digests and digests of digests etc in the novel

• “I didn’t watch it, but TikTok told me it’s problematic.” • “I didn’t read it, but here’s my take based on screenshots.” • “I didn’t follow the narrative, but I saw a gifset and that’s enough.” • “I don’t understand the plot, therefore the writing is bad.”

I recently mislabeled a vulture so here's how to tell Turkey and Black Vultures apart. The Turkey Vulture on the left has light colored feathers underneath its wings the whole way along. The Black Vulture on the right has light feathers only at the tips of its wings, like fingers. #birds 🌿

2 for the price of one?!? That’s an awesome deal for an awesome calendar!

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

the macy's thanksgiving parade is such an incredible cultural experience. they got lil jon doing "turn down for what" on the toys r us float, immediately followed by a huge goku balloon

“You will be visited by three spirits.” The three spirits #birds

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both. The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

With the goal of reaching new ppl w/biodiversity action, we're expanding the Native Plant Project to bars. We're calling it Biodiversity Beers. In collab w/artists Marian Bailey, @hanfranstudio.bsky.social, & @the666cat.bsky.social, we're making pint glasses that encourage planting of native 🌱

it’s not a phase

i had a brief crush on a member of the kennedy family in my 20s (i don’t remember who but it might have been jack schlossburg?) and it feels so embarrassing now lmao

Having an affair with a member of the Kennedy family in the 1960s: steamy, exciting, capable of creating viral moments, everyone is jealous Having an affair with a member of the Kennedy family in the 2024: creepy, off-putting, apparently "non-sexual", everyone is retching

colors of the forest

i don’t really have any exciting lore; i got my current job after getting fed up with my restaurant job post-graduation and applying for literally everything related to my degree that paid well. before this i also worked as a mail handler and if i ever leave my current career i’ll go back to that.

i think i've said these exact words before but it makes me want to cry that rino exists and we get to watch her. and whoever choreographed that program deserves a nobel prize #FinlandiaTrophy #GPFigure

Make sure to hide in a rocky reef cave with your eel friends when you're done for the day.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

The DHS blamed immigrants for a number of problems known to be caused by outside economic factors.

Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.
