In many ways, the only thing boys need to learn are the lessons we already teach girls. They need to learn to be part of a community. And if they understand that, then the lessons on consent and sexual violence come naturally.

A quillback rockfish. Not quite a drawing with a quill but with a dip pen, which feels of-a-sort. - #SundayFishSketch + #SciArtSeptember Day 27: Quill
An illustration of a quillback rockfish in a graphic style. The fish is defined by black line work and is coloured with purple, yellow, and teal gouache painting. The background is lilac purple. The fish is shown in profile and facing to the left.

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

how seriously is a voter to take this new information, if the response is simply "woah susan collins is corrupt. better not vote for her!" vs "susan collins has shown herself to have betrayed mainers and she should step down immediately"

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Not a gif (can’t seem to find one) but any excuse to share one of my favorite Simpsons moments
a still image of Homer Simpson as “intellectual Homer”, in brown sweater with elbow patches, reading glasses and a graduation cap. He lies on the concrete, in a pool of his own blood. In one hand he holds a diploma, the other has used his own blood to write “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” in his own blood

Attention Ecologists! We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists. The First Lego League Teams need to speak with a scientist about their projects every year. Every year it's a different type of scientist. Last year was archaeologists. This year, ecologists! Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
A fish is a teacher, wearing a button-up shirt with a collar. He says "Volunteer to speak with classrooms in front of a chalkboard that says "Skype a scientist needs YOU!".
