amid protests, the Grand Saline, TX city council voted 4–1 to evict Pip, the library cat, over scratching & biting. He'll now live with the librarian. a cat was installed in public office, performed public service, & was removed for being a cat. this is injustice. this is a crime. Justice for Pip!
Pip, a black-and-white cat wearing an orange collar, stands on a dark patterned carpet, looking upward with wide, alert eyes. His ears are perked up, his tail is raised, and he has a small black heart-shaped marking on his nose.

When someone tells me their cat is 22. I really am happy for you and your kitty I just wish all of my cats could live that long! 😭
This is a meme that expresses the feeling of having to be verbally gracious about someone else's good luck or accomplishment while really being mad or jealous inside. There are three modern studio portraits of an adorable black toddler in pastel button up shirt and coral pink pants. In each photo he looks furious but text over him reads "congrats", "happy for you" and "nice".

The Washington Sun reported last week that the White House has instructed the Justice Department to hold off on attacking abortion until after the midterms. After that, they’ve promised anti-abortion leaders, “the gloves will be off.” They are just getting started. But here’s the thing: so are we.

#OTD in 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna won the #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (referring to their groundbreaking work on the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors). They were the first all-female team to win a Nobel in science. #WomenInSTEM
A side-by-side composite photo of French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier (born December 11, 1968) on the left and American biochemist Jennifer Doudna (born February 19, 1964) on the right. The pair made history by developing the CRISPR-Cas9 "genetic scissors" technology in 2012, which earned them the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. On the left, Dr. Charpentier stands indoors with her hands casually resting in her jeans pockets, looking directly at the camera with a calm, subtle smile. She wears a dark blue tailored blazer over a dark buttoned shirt. Behind her is a large chalkboard filled with scientific diagrams and hand-written biological terms like "ADN Virus," "RNA," "Cas9," and "Bact." On the right, Dr. Doudna stands outdoors with her arms crossed, smiling warmly. She is wearing a brown structured blazer over a dark V-neck top, paired with dark jeans and a black belt. She is positioned before a large, minimalist silver metal sculpture made of intersecting arches, with a soft-focus background of green trees. The composition blends the rigorous, analytical workspace of the laboratory with an open, organic outdoor environment, evoking a professional, accomplished, and confident mood that emphasizes their revolutionary impact on biotechnology.
