Mr. and Mrs. Hisser (Gromphadorhina oblongonota) They lived happy lives and had many hundreds of children. All whilst leading a cleaner life than Asmongold, and disapproving of his filth! 🥰

It's international pronoun day everyone!!

Pronouns are a standard of human language used to help us identify each other and show the world how to correctly address us.

Pronoun usage is not an attack nor is it singling out anyone. It just helps us be more equipped to make our colleagues feel seen.

Why Did UChicago Destroy the Humanities?

The answer is simple: to spend untold sums on useless buildings by starchitects.

"They weren't always like this"

25 years ago, Republicans were joking about killing gay people, torturing Muslims and Arabs, and deporting Latinos, only obviously that wasn't what they called them

You want to tell me that the folks buying Liberal Hunting Permits at gun shows weren't like this?

Fox is now openly celebrating Trump's unconstitutional seizure of power from Congress. There is literally nothing the guy could do that they wouldn't cheerlead. The network is completely captured by MAGA.

Hello everyone today we are getting some basic menstruation education! No, actually, MOST mammals do NOT menstruate! With maybe one or two exceptions, only primates shed their uterine lining in a regular cycle.

Other mammals have something called estrus.

All mammals menstruate. So why would ours make another mammal think something is wrong?

Stolen from the Internet, a sign that says "If Elevator does not move do a small jump it should move after", and a dirty-white freight elevator wall and aged elevator controls with only floors 1 and 2."

I have no idea where this really is, I just stole it off Wikimedia.

Agreed. If you’re engaged in public speaking, you want your audience engaged with *you*, not ignoring you while reading your slides.

Matt Cowgill @mattcowgill.bsky.social · 1d

probably my most deeply-held belief: it is not possible for a slide deck to be both (1) a good presentation aide; and (2) a standalone document that can be read and understood in isolation.

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.
