I need your help. When I'm making projects happen, I don't have as much time to remind people to buy merch/donate to Skype a Scientist. SO our balance sheet is...oh dear 😅 If you're able, becoming a monthly donor, even a couple bucks a month, would be really amazing. givebutter.com/SupportSAS26

An Solidaritätsbekundungen mangelt es (zum Glück) nicht. Aber wie kann Solidarität in so einem Fall praktisch aussehen, dear fellow Americanists? Wäre mal ne Diskussion auf der #DgfA2026 wert. Time to put our money where our mouth is!

I know Bluesky has a ton of artists and creative people. Does anybody have interesting sticker collections for sale? My spouse is a wildlife educator who uses them as motivation and prizes for students of all ages, plus they're just fun to collect.
Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
Useful info if you think someone who used their power to sexually exploit vulnerable people is a gross thing to have on your feed and/or to be associated with.
David Wynne@davidwynne.bsky.social · 3mo agoJust a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…” This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
Just found out Starlink satellites only last about 5 years before they're pulled down to burn up in the atmosphere (leaving toxic metals in the air). Our convenience culture has reached the level where we now have disposable satellites. And Musk wants to launch a *million* data centre satellites.
X is a critical component of the regime’s communications and information control system. Pro-democracy forces should boycott X because it’s not a neutral platform—it’s main purpose is spreading regime propaganda and discrediting pro-democracy actors.

If you want to understand the powerful backlash to AI, and why it's open season for refusing such projects, local data center movements are a great place to start. Especially since they've gone national.
It's open season for refusing AI
There's been a wave of successful efforts to ban, reject and shut down AI.

(laughter) Ignoring this. Paying PROPER attention to the Belgians who invented “French” fries (confused doughboys thought they were in France due to the locals speaking the language). FRY THEM TWICE YOU WEENIES! 😄

You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2. A few warnings: Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is. Absolutely /do not/ lick it. Keep far away from any Supermen. If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts. Let's talk about the science here.

Unrelated reminder that no airline will ever have a cooler name; it is literally the "Air Guild." Hansa is a direct reference to the Hanseatic League. Eat shit, "Delta."

Chiitan thinks of transgender people as my mom and dad cherish my mom and dad for the rest of my life I love you all I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness
“THE RISK POOL.” …i.e., “those too weak to be allowed to survive”. …And *these* are the people who’re supposedly so concerned about the “unborn Einsteins”? Doesn’t seem like they’re too concerned about the *already-* born ones. 😡

Are there any K-Pop fans in your classroom? Help them learn more about the industry behind the music with "Ten Things to Know about K-Pop," by Wonseok Lee and Rita Rongyi Lin, from the new issue of Education About Asia!
Ten Things to Know about K-Pop
How do we understand K-pop? What elements should we look at in grasping K-pop’s rich history? What makes K-pop distinct from other popular music? The authors explore the multifaceted evolution and global phenomenon of K-pop, tracing its origins from early twentieth-century musical adaptations to its current status as a sophisticated multimedia industry. Beginning with historical factors, including the emergence of modern Korean popular music during the colonial period, the impact of the U.S. military, and the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, this article addresses how these factors catalyzed...

yeah, in the '80s it was "those [redacted] girls should keep their legs closed", now it's "those [redacted] girls should marry the men who knocked them up". WE MAY NOTE lack of redaction-worthy judgmental adjective attached to the men.
Leslie Root@lesja.bsky.social · 4mo agoI also keep seeing "even Bush Sr. and Nixon supported reducing teen births," the implication being that we used to have better Republicans. No, the implication here is that the social forces of the time meant the people who wanted to control women's lives were antinatalist rather than pronatalist.
