Black people in the U.S. have more self control than you can possibly begin to imagine.

Everyone is so wholesome and fucking weird here

Anyone who was engaged and honest scientific communication during Covid will find this entire essay to be painfully familiar.

“Narcissists will attack their target by using a black-&-white approach to social justice values, asserting that if you do not completely agree with their theoretical proclamations, that you must be against them & therefore against the side of justice…This is the equivalent of movement gaslighting.”

Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you well.

Do you know how serious the belief in unicorns was?

In ~1100 #Vikings started trading narwhal with Inuits to sell on to merchants.

The tusks look like #unicorn horns, which were thought to neutralise poisons. The tusks were made into cups & sprinkled into food.

By the 13th c., the tusks had become relics.

When Danish #King Christian V. was crowned in 1671, his throne was made of “unicorn” horn to show his power.

The value had reached 20x that of its #weight in #gold.

Huzzah?

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who use AltText to add descriptions to your pics and media. As someone who used to be able to see but has been blind for over 30 years now, it allows me to see the pic in my mind and is greatly appreciated and allows me to enjoy them.

Another heartfelt thanks to those who use #CamelBack in their hashtags. This makes it so much easier to understand with a screen reader and for those who read print as well! ❤️

Merkins...hm. Well, learning something new everyday.

It’s going to be an early bedtime. I wanna get a head start on my insomnia.

It's my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

I’ve never before seen a plant like this one we passed on Mt. Hood, and I love the look of it!

Politicians and media overtly push the narrative that everyone has "moved on" from the pandemic. But many people who've been forced into unsafe work environments haven't "moved on." They're trying not to think too much about #COVID because they have no choice about being exposed.

We can't afford any spoilers--vote Blue but never RFK! #VoteBlue #VoteBlueButNeverRFK

It’s been a wild 72 hours since I resigned. When life settles, I plan to be more active here. #climatechange #climateemergency #climateaction #ClimateCrisis

Today in Russia!

Nothing special, just ordinary Russians celebrating PMC "Wagner", a private military group consisting of mercenaries and convicts, that just staged an armed rebellion in Russia—downing Russian aviation and killing Russian soldiers.
