Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (d #OTD in 2025) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

A black-and-white photograph of the pathbreaking American historian of science, Margaret Walsh Rossiter (1944–2025), renowned for coining "the Matilda effect" and documenting the buried history of women in science. Seated in an indoor setting with a soft, blurred background, Rossiter is positioned from the waist up, facing forward with a warm, open smile. She has short, curly gray hair and wears dark, thick-rimmed glasses. She's wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt patterned entirely with small, dark polka dots. She holds a heavy, open book resting on her lap or desk, her left hand steadying the right-hand pages while her right hand rests on the left-hand pages, lightly gripping a pencil. The overall composition is intimate and studious, casting her as an approachable yet deeply focused scholar. The mood is intellectually vibrant and welcoming, reflecting a life dedicated to uncovering the truth.

Echo the Australian magpie annoying a tuxedo cat named Gilbert in Thames, New Zealand. The pair are known to be friends, though the magpie is often described as an annoying sibling that frequently pushes limits. They are part of a group called "Tuxedoes Unite" located in Karangahake, New Zealand.

Night night, sweet dreamies Stay soft. Life may give us reasons to harden our hearts, but kindness is never weakness. To face difficult days and still choose gentleness, love and care takes a quiet kind of strength. Never let the world take your softness away
