What did Scott Perry know, and when did he know it? 😐

Several years ago, a postdoctoral scholar working in our group proved that Santa exists when she captured this image from the web cams of the Japanese snow monkeys on Christmas Day.

Nagano, Snow Monkey Park, 2006.

Merry Christmas Fediverse. 🎄🐵 🎅

"Still, they ARE your family and always will be."
"Blood is thicker than water."
"You're supposed to love your family."

Just a little PSA that it's okay to not see your family this holiday season. Some families are horrific, cruel, even abusive. It's okay to dislike or hate them. Maybe you feel guilty, or maybe you feel relieved. That's okay too, emotions are complex.

Cut off contact with your family? I'm not judging. Your life is probably better now, and I'm happy for you that you were solid enough to let them go. Good for you.

Hope you have a good time with yourself. 💙

The History of Fruitcake

My #genealogy peeps will get a kick out of this.

Science is fundamentally eager to be proven wrong. Religion is the exact opposite. And, I hasten to add, medicine is also very eager never to be proven wrong.

Time for my yearly repost ❄️

Extremely rare nacreous cloud seen this afternoon at Portobello https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/20/rare-nacreous-clouds-spotted-over-scotland-and-england

I’m continually stunned by the Englishman’s worship of the ‘manor house’ and the surrounding parkland. They don’t seem to understand just how such obscene wealth was accrued. We have present day billionaires, the fuckers that built these empires were even more horrific in their denigration of the populace. Shove the National Trust where the sun don’t shine! BASTARDS!

The Sciurocheirus alleni or Bioko Allen’s Bushbaby, also referred to as The Bioko Squirrel Galago, inhabits the island of Bioko, Cameroon, and Nigeria. They are one of the world’s smallest species of bushbabies! They reach lengths of 38 to 45 centimeters or 15 to 18 inches, and weigh 65 to 260 grams or 2.3 to 9.2 ounces!

Merry Christmas to all.
Something is coming.

It'd be nice if in 2024 the ADA grew some teeth.

I don't think there's a single city that's remotely ADA compliant.

What I mean if you didn't know: when the ADA passed, regarding sidewalks, this wasn't a "oh you have to redo all your sidewalks immediately how unfair :(" it was literally "When you redo your sidewalk make it compliant" and my understanding is every city in the US went "we'll pay fines instead"
