Timeline cleanse. Newspaper clipping, 1906.
A newspaper clipping from 1906 that reads: "Noisy, Hungry Frogs Sadden Farmer's Life. They scare his cattle and they also eat his flannel shirt."

Biologists on biology: “The biology of sex and gender makes it very clear,” Lents says. “These are not hard categories with clear definitions.” Yep. www.sciencenews.org/article/biol...

Biological sex is not as simple as male or female
A recent Trump executive order defines sex based on gamete size. But the order oversimplifies genetics, hormones and reproductive biology.

I’m from the Midwest, so my standard way of expressing that I care about someone is telling them to drive safe. (Note: I’m aware that grammatically it should be safely. I don’t care. That’s not what we say.) So drive safe friends.

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

Watching Under the Bridge (a dramatized true story about the murder of a teenage girl in Victoria). I'm impressed at the way they wrote in the subtle racism. Not overt, not smack you in the face, but the kind of comments that were normal growing up there. We still have a long way to go.

This opening paragraph really made me laugh 🤣
Guardian article reviewing waterproof raincoats, by Paddy Maddison 

“I didn’t think it was possible for my cat to respect me less. That was until he caught me testing a waterproof jacket in the shower. Him, motionless in the hallway, a textbook look of feline disapproval painted across his face. Me, slowly rotating behind a glass screen like a Gore-Tex doner kebab.”

I’m 100% ok with gatekeeping incels. If you can’t handle a woman being the protagonist or a non-white person being the protagonist of a video game, I don’t think you deserve to play games.

The best thing I've ever done is my chapter in this mammoth. I feel super uncool and under-experienced next to the absolute wizards, and also wildly grateful. Read my angry feminist rant on why we should reconsider skeletal sex estimation Dec. 2nd.

My choice to work on Viking bodies re sex/gender is best summed up by the item plate that states this grave good set from Gotland suggests the role the young female individual was supposed to step into: elite master of the home.
If anyone wonders why I chose viking bodies for part of the sex/gender debate, its summed up by the item plate on adolescent jewellery suggesting their burial goods indicated their roles to be.

Hi all! I'm a fourth year PHD student studying the complex negotiation of sex/gender and skeletal sex estimation from a feminist perspective. Kind of vikings, kind of philosophy, mostly grumpy feminist.

The fact that UCC hid a 3000-year-old mummy under the floorboards of a lecture theatre on a campus where two and a half tonnes of uranium rods were being stored in a basement nearby and DIDN'T end up with a zombie-pharaoh apocalypse is both a mystery and endlessly disappointing
