How to avoid sexual assault!
A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*
sexual violence centre cork
DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS
USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM!
IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING
SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.
WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP. THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.
WHEN YOU SEE
A WOMAN
WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.
IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND
SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.
CARRY A WHISTLE.
IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE
SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.
*for perpetrators.

Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Laughing at these two images of ladies/girls singing, but their annoying brothers are dancing in the background, because mom forced them to take their little brothers  😂
this is one of my favorite visual jokes of all time. i think about it several times a week.
Girls: we want to start a band
Mom: okay but take your brother with you Can I go singing? yeah but take your brother oh, and the cat

It’ll take some time to suss out if that’s what’s going on here (vs an El Niño blip), but range shifts are a primary way species adapt to climate change. The bigger concern is if they *don’t* shift because they can’t keep up with the pace of change, or because of barriers or habitat destruction.

One more equinox post: In the northern hemisphere it’s officially Fall, which is easier to envision in this illustration from my copy of an early 19th century French textbook with a College royal de Louis-le-Grand armorial binding. Established in 1563, the school’s alumni includes Poincaré. 📚💙
astronomical illustrations. At the top Earth is shown in four positions around the sun, the two equinoxes and two solstices. At the bottom earth is depicted on its axial tilt relative to the ecliptic and the sun's two different positions with rays hitting earth in winter and summers.

I’m all over the map this morning so here’s a map: “A Combined View of the Principal Mountains & Rivers of the World” drawn by J. W. Colton and published by J. H. Colton in 1852. My copy is a scarce, poster-sized stand alone issue. Hand watercolored.
A map with mountains depicted in three dimensions in pastel colors. Rivers are flowing down from the top edge, the longest to shorted left to right.

I just returned books to the La Crescenta LA County library branch and they looked so exhausted after filling out so many Hello Kitty card applications and they’re totally out. I think they were almost relieved that I wasn’t coming in for one. Though I probably would’ve gotten one tbh
