160 years ago today, Gregor Mendel presented his paper describing his research into the inheritance of traits in pea plants. The importance of his work wouldn’t be realized for almost 40 years. Now, there is a fabulous board game based on his studies. Who doesn’t love a game with Punnett squares?

It is a single degree out. 1°. Fahrenheit, so that’s –17° for the rest of the world that has switched to a modern, sensical measurement system. DO. NOT. WANT. (Seriously, though, be safe out there, people.)

A true honor to be spotlighted by @bookriot.bsky.social in this breakdown of how to protect the right to read through the Horrors. We're only screaming a little. 😱💜

But seriously, there are a lot of great ideas here. Read the full thing! https://loom.ly/HJbyi7A

I designed and printed a 3D-printed insert for the game Darwin’s Journey and all available expansions. I’m quite proud to have fit everything in the base box! #boardgameinsert #thundergryph

We need a war
We need a war to show ‘em
We need a war to show ‘em that we can
We need a war to show ‘em that we can do it
Whenever we say we need a war

If they mess with us
If we think they might mess with us
If we say they might mess with us
If we think we need a war
We need a war
We Need A War

And now for something completely different: if you’re playing Salmon Run in Splatoon 3, use your goddamn specials. There’s no bonus points for saving them. #splatoon3 #gamerproblems

In memory of Carl Sagan, who left us 29 years ago today, The Pale Blue Dot. A good reminder to recenter one's perspective.

It’s past time to ditch Facebook, Insta, and WhatsApp. I know many of you are in the choir already as I preach this (seeing as you’re here), but beyond allowing hate speech against us to go unchallenged, Meta now shadowbans or outright shut down accounts that share our histories and our stories.

More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

"When someone reads a book and sees a character who looks like them, loves like them, and lives a full vibrant life, that isn't just entertainment — it is permission. It is a mirror that says, "You are real, you have a lineage, and you belong here." 👏👏

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.
