Great video, covering a lot of non-trivial stuff very nicely!
And here it is, my interview with @juliet-turner.bsky.social youtu.be/v_46GqZDZCk?...
We saved the twitter slop for the end so trolls might learn something as they desperately wait to see if she mentions them.
Also, shoutout to @alexwild.bsky.social for letting her use his photos in this!

I'm normally a pretty private person, but today marks a significant personal milestone where I have now lived for as long as a "non-Christian" as I had growing up a sincerely believing Christian into my 20s.
I've touched briefly on my experiences in some of my comics...

I'm sure you've heard about the so called "fertility crisis", but is it real? If so, how real and what's causing it?

Does anyone know the person behind this animation? The YouTube channel says to contact them via spronk3d.com, but this website no longer exists.
I suspect Chris Spronk from Lithuania is the animator but I can't find his current contact info.

US healthcare is like a beautiful grocery store full of colorfully packaged items but most have no price tag, those that do are far lower than billed at the counter, and you never know if you're even allowed to buy anything until the cashier checks with your insurance "provider".
What went wrong?

I moved from Oregon 7 years ago but was recently summoned to Jury Duty there. I sent an email explaining and asked what my civic obligations are. I got a surprisingly friendly response:
"Thank you for this information. I’ve excused you from jury duty.
Have an awesome weekend!"

One for the #SciArt feed. Rik is too humble to admit it here, but he's the one who came up with the idea for this illustration! Looking forward to sharing more of these when the document is published.

It’s part of a SciComm paper on the tools of storytelling I was lucky enough to get an early look at. I think it really sums up a lot of JC’s approach to art, science, belief, humanity and communication from the cave to the cosmos!
So much to unpack
