Phew, the news is dark. Here’s a moment of beauty to catch your breath 🌿
The sun sets in a layer of yellow sky at the horizon and the blue sky and pink clouds above and a line of trees silhouetted and a dark stone wall in the foreground. It’s very peaceful.

Alright everybody, time to text the teachers in your life. The fall semester is open at SkypeAScientist and we are ready to match classrooms, scout troops, library groups, and more with scientists! Tell the educators in your life, and send them to SkypeAScientist.com
A frog uses its comically long tongue to catch a fleeing fly and the words say “send this to a teacher” pointing right. Then under the tongue it says “Skype a scientist matches classrooms with scientists for free Q&As” and there’s a little pond scene with lily pads and spatterdock flowers and a rock with a snail on it and a salamander with the words get a match at Skype scientist.com

Adding two more members to the dragon toy club!
Two pugs, one laying and one sitting, both looking adorable near a pile of toys. A blue dragon toy has been selected from the toy pile and is in front of the smaller pug that is sitting.

Hey, do me a favor and do an internet search for "free fridge" and your town's name. And then go drop some stuff off when you have some food you're not gonna eat. Got some takeout with an extra wonton soup you're not gonna eat? Take it to the free fridge. Someone needs it. Seriously.

Echoing this! Alt text makes this post more accessible, which means a bigger cat crew! Win-win! Yay! And without alt text posts also don’t get reposted as much as they might. I personally try not to report anything missing alt text.

A vibrant sunset over the Pacific ocean. The sky is blue at the top, but along the horizon it’s vivid orange and yellow, bathing the clouds, water, and beach in a pink and orange glow. On a large boulder is the silhouette of a child holding a fishing pole.

Thank you. I was very happy to have made it, even though I thought it was hideous. What’s the saying? Sucking at something is the first step towards being good at it. Something like that. :)

Thank you! I was quite pleased with it despite that I thought it was ugly. Ha. You were/are a great teacher too! I so appreciate all the videos and resources (and yarn and needles!) you shared to help all of us continue learning to knit. 💙

L @depressedbiologist.myatproto.social · 18/03/2026
That’s how I was originally knitting. I’m trying to be patient knowing it won’t feel/look perfect right away so it’s encouraging to know it will get better.

I’ve heard that from a few people and am hoping the same for myself. My tension was much better in English style, but it was hurting my hands. Figure it’s better to switch styles now while I’m still very new to knitting.

It’s hideous. I messed up a bunch. I tried to knit continental for the first time. I had a bunch of horrible migraines. I didn’t use the right size needles. But I had fun making it and pulling it apart afterward so I can practice again. 🧶
A raggedy-ass green knit square that kind of says FUCK in the middle of it, with all sorts of mistakes in the knitting. It’s laying on top of a paper pattern for how to make it.

Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not. You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc. Disability justice is for us all, and it’s foundational to all other forms of justice.
