IT'S ADORABLE! New fish species just dropped: the bumpy snailfish at 10,000 ft down in the ocean gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/s...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

we actually already know the number 1 cause of autism (it's autistic parents)

Day 21 of #SciArtSeptember prompt is reef. 🧪🐡 This is a handprinted linocut of two ocean creatures with a mutualistic symbiotic relationship: anemone and anemonefish. Specifically it's a rose bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) and a clownfish (in the genus Amphiprion), also known as an

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

very excited to be participating in this for the first time as an artist! 🐙🦑🦀

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

This racist government will literally burn this country down in the name of racism.

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!

Love coming across stuff like this. Someone called Rickdadick450 on the welding subreddit created this mechanical vulture out of old typewriter and calculator parts. It rocks, and doubly so if you’ve read M. John Harrison’s “The Pastel City”.

With alt text for nested screenshot. Because everyone needs this bit of inspiration.

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim. He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease. He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States. And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

I am looking for sponsors to continue our Environmental Activism Art series (formerly Climate Change Crafting Night)! Why? - This event is valuable! I want to share it more widely - More people come when it's free - The perfect venue costs $$ Learn more about sponsorship here givebutter.com/OxQyPt

please read this painful, beautiful testimony I’m trying not to be a nag but it arrived on my TL below some editorial being shared for rage bait and like. we could share things like this instead. not “we can do both” miss me with that. trash smell will always overpower what’s good when we “do both”

HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️

Moo Deng is one today.

Happy #portfolioday. I am Jacek, an illustrator focused on nature, landscapes and underwater art. Always on the lookout for interesting projects so feel free to drop me a line if you like what you see 😊

autistic ass test results tbh

This lizard is pregnant! I talk about it in the new Stated Clearly animation: Darwin's Monster youtu.be/CHvclYKy85w?... These photos are by Dr Rebecca Pyles who studies the evolution of pregnancy and live-birth in reptiles.

I wanted to try my hand at the fairly classic koi tattoo but with a personal twist. This one depicts a coelacanth which are lobe-finned fish known as "living fossils". They're relatives of our own fish ancestors prior to our lineage leaving the water. #art #coelacanth #tattoo #tetrapod #paleontology

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.

There was essentially zero coverage of the disabled protest to stop Medicaid cuts. Capitol police dragged protesters out, many in wheelchairs, and arrested 34 people. It was barely a blip on the news because nobody really cares about the disabled.

What’s happening is eugenics. Cutting Medicaid. Telling you COVID is mild. Blocking climate research. Rolling back trans rights. Police militarization and brutality. All of it. Fascism is built on eugenics. So is racism, classism, transphobia, etc. Any resistance must center disability justice.

Just to underscore--the president is attending the opening of an immigrant tent city that was purposely built (in one week) on an abandoned airfield in the middle of the Florida Everglades because it's surrounded by alligators and pythons to deter people from fleeing, or kill them if they do.

Remember, there are two sets of people to blame for this. 1. People like Musk, whose stupid idea it was to cut funding from important programs like this 2. People who voted for this in the US election You don't need to be nice or respectful to these either of these.
