(agreeing with you) to the protrary,

For too long, the story of Quaker abolition has been told as one of conscience, but it was Black resistance that forced the Religious Society of Friends to confront its deepest contradictions.

Opposite ends of the native bee spectrum

I swear I'm going to start emailing this to my local butterflies, I mean come on now

yeah i love waymo, way mo immigrants coming to my city

Aster family is pretty reliable for interesting ultraviolet photos, Gazania hybrids

Palmer's penstemon in visible light and ultraviolet, notice how the waxy coating reflects the uv so well. No clue what's going on with the colors in the uv photo, in theory it should all be greyscale

My friend in Spokane is having some success growing the botanical holy grail: blue poppies from the genus Meconopsis. They are so stunning in person. He even has a double-flowered blossom on one of them! 🌱

Dandelion in uv, the dark center is presumably to attract bees. No clue what wavelength is getting interpreted as yellow by the camera, the center shows it's not visible light leaking in

You actually miss 0% of the shots you don't take. If you're counting 'shots not taken' as 'missed,' then missed shots immediately become a singularity. We are all constantly in a state not taking shots. No one likes a tryhard, Steve.

The funniest folk etymology is for Macau, said to be "what the f*" (mat1 gau1 乜尻) in Cantonese. The Portuguese asked a local "what place is this?" The local went: "Nei 5 ngap1 mat1 gau1" 你噏乜尻？ ("wtf are you saying?"), so the Portuguese thought Mat1 gau1 was the name 🤣 1/2

PSA: ‘Big Wellness’ makes more money than ‘Big Pharma’ with none of the regulatory constraints to ‘innovation’. It’s pseudoscience and quackery and is dangerous. It kills - remember Steve Jobs? Thinking he could ‘Wellness’ his way out of pancreatic cancer? Don’t believe the ableist hype…

This firefly petunia looks solid white to you and me, but a bee sees bright UV lines point to the pollen and nectar. This took some effort to take, most lenses are abysmal at UV

Wife: No, I don't want to go to a Star Wars themed sex party. Ew Me: First off it's Star TREK and secondly it's called a Borgy

me: so as far as abnormal results go, these are pretty mid? doc: excuse me? me: they'd get ratioed hard by funnier results doc: I'm saying you're dying me: like respawning or deleting my acct?

I don't have any friends. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me impossible to be friends with.

Last year, I wrote a brief article about how the heart “breaks” in ancient Mesopotamia. What could a broken heart have meant 3,000 years ago, and how did people express mental distress? To me, how they made emotional pain make sense is really moving anetoday.org/al-rashid-he...

If you play The Grinch backward, his heart shrinks after interacting with people and that’s a lot more accurate.

Happening now at Washington Square Park: A United Healthcare CEO shooter lookalike competition, including people who intentionally and unintentionally dressed the part.

I bet when squirrel teens fight with their parents, they’re like “YOU’RE THE REASON DAD RAN IN THAT ROAD”

Infrared (840nm) is fun, these are solid black in visible light but let infrared right through No photoshop or filters involved, just a modified camera and ir (840nm) flashlight

Don't see one of these very often, leucistic American Goldfinch, taken in my back yard this afternoon #birds #birding #leucistic

I changed my mind this is too much reading but i did find out that the guy who shot Teddy Roosevelt did it because he thought McKinley's ghost wanted revenge.

OMG angel numbers! Hashtag #Blessed

Also to quote some post I saw on the Something Awful forums “I’m glad the internet exists so I can learn about people like this without actually ever having to meet them”

Is this what we drink on bluesky now to keep Brazil happy?

Going to McDonalds to ask the max number of patties I can get on a burger and replying “you make me sick” regardless of the answer

Me: 🎶Get out of my dreams, get into my car🎶 Tooth Monster: Well this is awkward, I just don't feel that way about you...
