One of the professors where I work collected some tadpoles and snails from a pond to keep them in the lab for a week or so for students to observe. They are so cute.

Finally polished up some of the slime mold photos from last night's microscopy session. I'm fairly confident this is the species Metatrichia vesparia; big thanks to @regularslimeguy.bsky.social for some tips that helped nail down the ID!

I don't think I'll ever get over the attribution of "elevated sense of justice" as a "symptom" of autism. My sibling in science. This is not what you discovered. What you discovered is that "willingness to cheat when nobody is watching" or (perhaps, even) "virtue signaling" are symptoms of allism.

Autistic people have the sense of justice that allistic people claim to follow. Autistic people are more likely to actually behave ethically, regardless of whether anyone is watching or there is a social reward for it. This is not a weird foible with autists! This is a wild ethical breach by allists! Willingness to compromise on your stated ethical values is not "normal" regardless of how common it may be. Thats's weird! And troubling!

That's something worth looking into when it comes to allistic people. Leave autistic people with our propensity to simply believe and act accordingly out of your doublethink.

I found this amazing beastie in a rockpool today.

It looks like a really large ragworm. The size of a small snake.

The American Liberals are so against Trump and for the rule of law that they will not allow people talk about the unlawful crime of Trump administration against the activist green card holder Mahmoud Khalili.

The kids are sick because they have been repeatedly infected with a full body damaging virus that makes you more vulnerable to all other types of harm.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

👴🏻 Everything is terrible!
👩🏿Yes. We're all being attacked by racists.

👴🏻I don't know how to stop this!
👩🏿Again, oppose the racists and the racism.

👴🏻I don't think that's right? Maybe we should march?
👩🏿 Against racism?

👴🏻What? No! I mean, we need strong borders, and DEI has gone too far...
👩🏿*Sigh*

👴🏻Let's march for my 401k first, and then march for my job next, and then let's reassess and see if we still need any more marches.
👩🏿I... kinda feel like you'll stop marching again once your 401k is back and your job is secure.

👴🏻Rude! You're not being very inspirational! You're making me feel sad!

business elites having a collective shit fit meltdown because the guy they bought the election for is doing exactly what he promised really demonstrates the prodigious genius and mental acuity of your average capitalist

Regular reminder that effective, cheap, mass sterilization technology for just about every known and unknown airborne pathogen exists — we just choose not to deploy it.

HEPA-grade air filters are cheap, easy to install, effective, and severely underused. Unprecedented flu outbreak? SARS pandemic? N5H1? It can scrub the air of all of the above quickly, efficiently, and economically.

Another reasons to tut at the Mercator Map projection - how a circle with a radius of 5,000km, centred on Paris, looks according the Mercator map

Disabled people have been warning for years that the pandemic response (or lack thereof) was going to lead to fascism.

We begged you to wear a mask. To fight for clean air. To refuse to toss “the vulnerable” aside just because you wanted to go “back to normal”.

We are one of the first groups targeted by fascist regimes. We fight for survival every single day under a capitalist system that assigns value based solely on economic contribution.

Include us in resistance efforts. We can help. We are survivors.
