Y'all, if you missed watching live, you have to watch clips of Maybelle Blair, one of the remaining AAGPBL alumnae, living her best life at Robin Roberts Stadium in Rockford, IL during opening weekend of the WPBL. Not much makes me love sports, but Maybelle? Maybelle is iconic.
Guyssss! My first Gold Award mentee officially submitted her proposal to GoGold (the GSUSA clearinghouse for Gold Award Proposals.) Send her good vibes; her project idea is amazeballs.
When the COVID vaccines were rolling out, I learned a lot about mRNA vaccine development because it was fairly easy to find good information without a paywall. It's one of the coolest fucking things I have EVER learned about as a "layperson" and I still think about it.

We all love a big shark. But *why* big shark? I'll tell you about how Otodus megalodon and friends lived large, at @smithsonianmag.bsky.social 🦈
Predatory Sharks Grew to Enormous Sizes in Prehistoric Times. These Five Strategies Helped Them Get So Big

Yes, all of this. Use your library! It's an unmitigated good in the world!
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 2w agoSomeone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.
