Networking for underrepresented scientists is 1000 times better than 40+ years ago. Back then I didn't know if other Indigenous scientists existed, now we chat regularly and have mentoring groups to support the next generation.

The best American protest song of the 21st century is “Party in the CIA” by Weird Al Yankovic
Rebecca Nagle reminds us that everything that is happening now has been done before in America, but since it was against Natives, people forgot about it. Importantly, Native history gives us a template for how to get out of this. audioboom.com/posts/893054...

I’m starting to appreciate how Lydia is the result of a lack of parenting so severe that she might as well be a 21st century American teenager isekai-ed into a regency novel
Reading minutes from meetings of the Society of Antiquaries in the 1720s and 1730s and so much of it is "hey guys, I found a cool rock!" "Would you look at this weird coin?" or "My cousin told me about a dead body he saw one time." We need to bring back adult show and tell. I'm serious about this.
I’m enjoying my re-read of Georgette Heyer’s FARO’S DAUGHTER (1941). The two MCs have good reasons to dislike each other, but they’re also both unreasonably stubborn, which leads to funny situations like Max Ravenscar tied up in the basement of a casino, refusing to let anyone untie him

A wonderful thread of photos of gates. Do look at all the replies.
Tom Cox@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · 3w agoGateophilia. A passion for gates. For their seductive promises & the wildflowers growing near them. For their varying latches and shapes & designs & the satisfying clunk they make as they are closed. For the magic tunnels of light just beyond them which often seem to hint at passage a better world.
just a heads up for anyone who thinks today is Monday: it is not Monday. it is Tuesday. good luck out there.
“It is not easy to escape from under the male gaze. For boys and men, maybe this hard-won feminist tenet can help: You do not have to look a certain way in order to have value.”

CHOCOLATE MUFFINS RECIPE what you must first know is that I had borne a thousand wounds by Fortunato, yet never before this day an insult. He told me my muffins were dry, and I smiled and did not reveal to him my inner tumult, but I resolved in that moment he must die. He had a wea SKIP TO RECIPE
one of the most devastating insults i've ever heard was "he looks like someone who has had a lot of conversations about whether we all see the same colour we call red"

Trying to pick apart a woman's text messages to prove she's lying about being raped is gutter behavior. Consent can be revoked at any time and reading insinuations into text messages that the sender denies were there is ACTUAL journalistic malpractice. I would not trust a man who does this!
I have a foolproof way to make sure that your papers contain absolutely no fake references . . . . . read the papers you cite.
