I did a deep dive last night learning why the "liver" trait (that brown/weird colored nose etc) is recessive - most dogs genetically are black! A recessive gene changes it to browns! Goldens are also genetically black! Except for a separate gene that's also recessive that cancels it out to yellow!

This is my favorite thing to talk about too. Because most of what people think are characteristic traits of many breeds are recessive! Which is why it's a characteristic trait of that breed!! The dog DNA and related subreddits are really fun to hang out in and learn from

My favorite thing about having been a nerd as a child is that I actually absorbed and enjoyed facts about science, history, etc. Meaning that nowadays when I watch a cool new documentary or read an article I get to be EXCITED AT HOW THE FACTS HAVE EVOLVED AND BUILT UPON WHAT WE USED TO KNOW

And instead of generic "Mexican embroidery" pinterest boards, I can find a whole study done with a community to record and digitize traditional motifs because they're as much a stitched language as an art and I can both use this to deepen my connection with my culture AND learn cool things

Mariana not mary-anna @scampneoroxy.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

I've been deep diving into Mexican embroidery, and aside from my small but growing library of books, I've been relying heavily on and loving the existence of the digital Commons network because I can be like "What are motifs that set mazahua embroidery apart?"

If you'd gone back to the 90s when my brother and I were watching Daytona with my dad and told us that my brother would be doing media in the pitt for the driver of 43 and we'd get a little wave on the HBO app from him I would have said what's an app and WHAT THAT'S SO COOL

Omg this is so good I missed this! VERY intentional shot lingering on two men grinding on each other Throughout his career Benito has been an ally to the LGBTQ community and has tried to push back against the machismo prevalent in Latin music

We ALL know that's Ricky Martin singing in front of the bananas He's singing "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," an anti-statehood song that holds up Hawaii as a cautionary tale (as already established, Benito is pro independence)

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

That was very much not Liam Ramos in Bad Bunny’s performance - his image has been plastered all over this site for weeks. Very strange thing to imagine.

I know Ricky Martin was there because he's a Puerto Rican icon, but I really appreciated that Bad Bunny made a pointed choice to give a gay man a moment in the spotlight in his vision of America

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
