The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

Canada is preparing to spend tens of billions building a pipeline the oil companies themselves won’t finance. If this project made economic sense, industry would be leading it. Instead, the public is being asked to take the risk while foreign-owned oil companies collect the returns.

Stop the West Coast pipeline. Not even the oil companies are asking for it

Seniors for Climate Action Now! is calling on the Carney government to reject the proposed West Coast oil pipeline, arguing the project has no credible economic, moral, reconciliation, or climate case...

NGC 6188 and NGC 6193 in Ara - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/cgYXQu

NGC 6188 is a large emission nebula located some 4000 light years distant in the Southern constellation Ara. This giant molecular cloud is being illuminated by the young star cluster NGC 6193 which in this image appears in the centre almost as if suspended in front of a blanket of nebulousity littered with thousands of other dimmer stars in a multitude of colours.

At the centre of this cluster lies an intensely bright pair of stars; the O-type giants HD 150135 and HD 150136. The latter is in fact itself an extremely close binary with a confirmed third component in an outer eccentric orbit of between 2950 and 5500 days. This triple star system is one of the most massive in our galaxy with the three components containing 64, 40 and 35 solar masses respectively. The cluster is very young, not older than 3 million years, and the intense radiation from the massive stars is slowly eroding the surrounding gas and dust away, sculpting it into the striking forms seen in this image. Within these clouds new stars are currently being born and in places some have already begun to light up the nebula from within.

Using her aquaria, she studied the paper nautilus (Argonauta argo), a pelagic #octopus. Villepreux-Power proved that the females secrete their own egg-case shells, debunking Aristotle's myth of shell theft. A pioneer of #cephalopod science! #MarineBiology #WomenInSTEM

Vintage 19th-century scientific illustration of the female paper nautilus octopus (Argonauta argo), depicted in delicate watercolor style. The cephalopod is shown in side view, partially emerging from its translucent, spiral, papery shell with a scalloped, frilled edge resembling a nautilus shell. Its body is mottled in shades of blue, pink, and beige with textured skin and numerous small suckers visible on the arms; large, expressive blue eye prominent; eight arms extend outward, one elongated and trailing downward. The artwork highlights the fragile, self-secreted egg-case shell that Jeanne Villepreux-Power famously studied and proved was produced by the animal itself.
