Sam and Elliot hated each other when they went to summer camp as kids, but when they both go back as counselors after coming out as trans, they must confront their old rivalry while dealing with the intense new attraction between them now that they've transitioned #DVPit #NA #R #TV

It’s official: back to the Philippines in 2027 for Dumaguete muck diving & Tubbataha reefs! 🇵🇭 Celebrating with throwbacks, starting with the "Leaf Sheep" sea slug (Costasiella sp.). They steal chloroplasts from algae to solar-power themselves! ☀️ #nudibranchs #seaslugs #underwaterphotography 🦑 📷
Costasiella sp. is a tiny species of sea slug that eats algae and steals its photosynthetic cells for its own use.

As an online teacher, I would like it if zoom would just stay the same for at least a term. I have a muscle memory for how to do things, and then I look like an ass to trying to find things because they moved and it changed. It's not improved, mind you. I've yet to find the added stuff useful.

I'm on the other end of this teaching people who want to become therapists -- when we have a shortage of providers it is NOT because there aren't people interested in going into the field. Also AI is not confidential. Your questions and things you share -- consider them public.

If children had any political power, instead of being treated like property, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Exhibit A: Attacks on Critical Race Theory started in schools as "parents' rights" and book bans-- within 7 years, this morphed into an anti-DEI purge of adults in workplaces and academia.

If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

A silly little thing that's been in my head since I rewatched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Be Excellent to Each Other!
an illustration of the characters Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure holding pride flags - one trans, one progress pride flag - and doing their signature hand on heart gesture. Above and below them text reads: "BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER MEANS EVERYONE." the background is dark blue, with a smattering of white stars. Both boys are wearing small pride pins - Bill is wearing a trans pin and a queerplatonic pin, and Ted is wearing a bisexual pin and a queerplatonic pin.
