You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

Hi, I have something to talk about that I might delete later! For the past 12 months (12 months and a few days but who's counting), I have been experiencing debilitating panic attacks with zero identifiable triggers. I'll be just living my life and suddenly out of nowhere, I'm unable to function.

I love house floor plans and often look at them. There has been a huge increase in AI made plans with elements that are nonsensical. Today I think I found my favorite one. This master bath has a MAKE HOTEL in between the two sinks.

Antisemitism and misogyny (and white supremacy, of course) fuel each other in a constant cycle — sowing division and distrust in order to undercut the very coalitions we need to advance our shared rights and safety. Gloria Steinem knew that. (via @forward.com)
She recognized how antisemitism and misogyny fed each other. In her memoir, Steinem recalled a cabdriver telling her that feminism was a Jewish plot to destroy the Christian family. Her response to such hatred was not to distance herself from Jews, but to identify with them more strongly.
