TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Even if you don't get long covid in the sense of experiencing ongoing symptoms, covid is still a vascular virus
it chews up your arteries. You don't have nerve endings in your arteries, so you don't feel the damage
that doesn't mean it isn't there. and the more you catch it the worse it gets

I know some ppl don’t wanna hear it, but a lot more young people are dropping dead because they’ve got long covid. There are heart problems that develop from it. Get vaccinated. Test regularly. Mask up, at least strategically, to protect yourself!
Black men please get checked
In the past two weeks I have heard stories about 1 man passing at 31 from a heart attack and another man passing at 34 from a stroke
I personally knew one man and my dad knew the other one
This is not normal ! Please do not play about your health.

Love love love that the songs made for the parade have actual names. "Up In Arms" is a wonderful name for the Octopus/Sea Monster theme
Very curious what the names of the original songs in the current iteration are and if they will ever be found

I mean we are absolutely in a place now where the only solution to this information disorder is for everyone to constantly evaluate the source of information. Never trust a chatbot, but also don't believe a video unless you know and trust where it comes from.
Unfortunately... that's a lot of work.

Half memoir about how studying genomics was subconsciously driven by trying to understand myself

I am begging you to keep making your thing, even if it is messy, even if you don't think it will sell. There are losers typing keywords into water-guzzling shitmachines and thinking they are a gift to the arts. YOUR THING IS ALREADY BETTER THAN ANYTHING THEY WILL MAKE BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING IT!

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

I wrote an “Elvira Meets Godzilla” comic (in which he’s called Kingzilla, for legal reasons.) This was my favorite panel.
The series was ELVIRA IN MONSTERLAND, and the issue is titled “You Don’t Look Kaijuish.”

At some point, for the sake of humanity's fucking survival, someone is going to have to start telling these assholes NO. Start reining in their spending power. They will fuck this planet up HARD otherwise. I wish this was fucking hyperbole.

I've seen some solid advice lately, and I want to share the most important thing I've ever learned:
When crossing the road in Ho Chi Minh city DO. NOT. STOP. Keep your eyes on the other side and maintain a steady gait. Otherwise, the scooters will turn you into street pizza.

The fact that life has been sh*t so far has zero to do w/ what life will be like going forward. I know that's hard to wrap your head around, but it's true. Do not let your bullies & abusers convince you you have nothing left to give or receive. Your real life hasn't even started.

Don't surrender your loneliness so quickly
Let it cut more deep
Allow it to ferment and season you
The way few human or even Divine ingredients can
Something in my heart tonight has made my eyes so soft
My voice so tender
My need for God
Absolutely clear
