On this day in 1947, Abby Hoffman was born in Toronto.
In 1959, she cut her hair and shortened her name to Ab so she could play hockey in a boys' league.
Her effort to play hockey would reach all the way to the Ontario Supreme Court.
Let's learn more about her!

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.
