Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

4. He would be so mad.

Pratap Gurung captured this shot of the FABULOUS 🌈 Himalayan Monal (Lophophorus impejanus) or 'danphe,' the national bird of Nepal.

The amazing coloration is structural: photonic crystals act like a diffraction grating, turning sunlight into shimmering blues, reds, greens.

So... Yeah. Be careful out there folks. History writing just got a whole lot weirder, and finding good written history suddenly looks a whole lot harder.

the Ukrainian trolley dilemma is the moment when there’s no more space in a shelter, but there’s a pregnant woman and an elderly lady waiting to come in. so you just give up your place because you don’t value your life more than a stranger’s one #UkrainianView

Emergency repair crews in Kyiv are working under extraordinarily intense conditions.

There are not enough crews,so workers are forced to work for 48-72 hours straight without breaks - many are literally collapsing from exhaustion.Over the past few days,two workers have died from extreme overwork.

He was also highly supportive of me when I started dipping my toe in comics, and was happy to offer me lots of advice.

However, as I mentioned in another post, comics is a field *full* of trans talent. So, for him to donate to Linehan is a slap in the face to trans creators and fans out there.
