Great news, my 2026 NSFW Marine Biology Fun Fact calendar is now available on Etsy! It's a perfect gift for anyone into marine biology, fun facts, and/or NSFW trivia!

#calendar #art #marinebiology #newyear #giftideas #lobster #digitalart #funfacts #trivia
The image is a digital drawing of a brown lobster with yellow liquid shooting out from under one of its eyes on a tan background. The text (in yellow) reads: "lobsters have two urinary bladders, one of each side of their face, and pee from nozzles under their eyes to communicate".

just fyi: A certain megaconglomerate is down to their last few SIGNED copies of Everything Is Tuberculosis. (They have plenty of unsigned ones.) So if you want one there, now's the time.

There are still lots of signed copies available in bookstores around the U.S. and Canada. (And some in the UK!)

I cannot imagine an ecologist saying "I'm going to start a genomics project, I don't know anything about DNA but how hard can it be?" You'd ask someone who knew. You'd learn.

You should do the same for social science research! Obviously!

“See you in court.” With those four words, Gov. Janet Mills went from a 77-year-old governor serving the last two years of her final term in a lightly populated state to an unlikely heroine of the Trump resistance:

You may be made of matter, but you matter. You do! Parts 1-4
We want you to know that you are important. You are needed. Read why in: STORY Time 1. There's no one like you. With all of the breathtaking numbers of DNA combinations, you are here. You represent a series of molecules that have put themselves together in such a unique way that you have MILLIONS of differences from anyone else on the planet. 2. You are alive. Right now there are way more things that are not alive compared to things that are alive. If you want to get really spooky, our greatest telescopes and scientists have zero evidence that life exists in the entire universe beyond Earth. 3. Your actions change the world around you. You may feel what you do changes nothing. This couldn't be further from the truth. From a probability point of view, choices you make today change millions of variables around you. What do you do MATTERS.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Trump's EO requiring NOAA employees to not communicate with foreigners is stupid. Planes could crash as a result. Environment Canada and the NWS share information to protect lives and property. The NOAA has a physical science lab in Alert, Canada. If anyone in NWS needs to message an EC met, DM me.

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

square painting depicting a pangolin in side profile under a tree, feeding from a hole in termite mound to right with four large winged termites in a vertical row on outside of mound “Edward Saidi Tingatinga’s art career lasted only four years from 1968–72; cut tragically short when he was shot dead at the age of forty. His impact on Tanzanian art however has been profound and his legacy has continued to gain momentum. The artist initially developed his distinctive approach to creating paintings out of necessity to make ends meet, finding that he could use enamel bicycle paint on ceiling board and sell his work inexpensively. He displayed these pieces in stores across Dar es Salaam and many expatriates who lived in the area began to collect his work. As his success grew, Tingatinga hired and trained close friends and family, firstly helping him to prepare boards, and later guiding them to make their own paintings. The Tingatinga style has now become a large industry in Tanzania, with high demand from local and international buyers, but few E. S. Tingatinga originals come on the market. Value continues to increase as original works become more and more rare.”
