Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

There are up to 8,000 species of katydids in family Tettigoniidae, 255 in North America alone. But this hot pink katydid isn't some exotic species, it's a 'morph', a normal genetic color variant. Here's the weird part: this is the DOMINANT color gene in katydids. (📷: Audubon Zoo)

From Audubon Insectarium article (it's behind a paywall), a vibrantly pink katydid, probably fresh from molting, sitting on broad green leaves.

Parents of autistic kids, please know it can be extra-hard to take care of yourself if you’re autistic too, or share a lot of traits. It is not failing if you struggle to meet your own needs, while also responsible for supporting neurodivergent family members’ needs. #autism #neurodiversity

"Its crucial medical care ratio fell to 86.7% from 89.4% year-over-year..." This means they only spent $86.70 covering medical care for every $100 you paid them. By avoiding paying for medical care, they can rake in ~$24B in profits. What the hell are we doing here? 😕

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

The order handed down this month closed an attempt by a civilian engineer to get justice for an assault she said threw her life into shambles.
