Boohoo! It's dark when I come out of work now. Soon, it'll be time for me to turn back into a vampire 🧛‍♀️ for the autumn and winter. It'll be dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home. I'll sleep 😴 whenever it's daylight hours. At least I have my sun light lamp to beat the blues away. 😁

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.

Count Brad Paisley, Tanya Tucker, Gavin Adcock, and Willie Nelson among those voices, RS reported. “It would be an enormous monstrosity, an absolute eye sore and detract in every way for not only that zoo, but also that area,” Paisley posted, supported by Jack White, Sheryl Crow, and Margo Price.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

We only rate dogs. This is a bed bug. She's very cute, and we actually wouldn't mind an infestation of this particular bed bug. But please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: lekik25)
