One of the cool things about being a scientist is that the answer "I don't know" to a question is actually super exciting and not embarrassing at all. It means you get to try and FIND OUT, either through literature search, asking a colleague, or deciding you want to determine the answer empirically

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Got the restaurant info for work Christmas party and it's like 9/10 my worst nightmare. I very explicitly wanted to know the restaurant in advance so I can plan but it's a fancy fucking tapas place where the menu changes often so they just have an "example menu" on the website.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

The one thing I don't like about my job is the weekly meetings with bossager (🐦). I always feel like I'm skulking into a parent teacher conference to discuss my report card.

A lot of people who aren't in either Build-A-Bear or archival spaces mistake my passion for archiving Build-A-Bear as a fervent love for the company, which always makes me laugh a little bit.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

Just saw someone refer to Mira KPDH as a tomboy and I can't stop thinking about this scene from the Good Place.
Screencaps from the Good Place. Tahani says "That I was SUCH a tomboy in high school. See?" and gestures to a photo of herself in a flowery pink dress and wide brimmed sun hat but holding a basketball.

Waking up on November 6 is always such a treat. It's Stranger Things day, my favourite Build A Bear's birthday, and I also get to backread Americans reminiscing on canon Destiel superhell day.

Cozy season is upon us! What could be more cozy than a blanket featuring this snoozing bear?

I have this + 4 other designs at www.albaillustration.com/original-art...

They are 100% cotton, machine washable, + made in the US. Gift them, throw them over your bed or couch, or hang them on the wall! 🐻
A photograph of a woven tapestry blanket behind held up so the illustration is in view. The blanket features an illustration of a brown bear sleeping on mossy rocks inside of a cave. The roof of the cave is open to the sky, with stars and a crescent moon visible.

Do you ever look back on your life and think... Did me having an anxiety attack in public one time actually lead to two people getting married?? Or was that just a coincidence???

SOMEONE had a very satisfying walk up to my parents' house to receive a crack-of-dawn delivery this morning.

Let it be known I just barely beat Eugene Lee Yang to the idea of dogs dressed up as the Saja Boys.

Each Saja Boy is represented as a different breed: Romance is a Saluki, Baby is a Pomeranian, Jinu is a Flat-coated Retriever, Abby is a Doberman, and Mystery is a Sapsal. They are all wearing slightly modified versions of their Soda Pop outfits.

Thinking about the Umbrella Academy final season today. How much I didn't personally like it aside, man it takes some fucking balls to kill AND retcon all of your main characters at once and then reverse It's A Wonderful Life them for the benefit of the audience alone.

On a completely removed-from-my-general-stance-on-AI level I do think it's really interesting that people have so much use for character AI type things. I can't think of a single conversation I would want to have with my blorbos.

For so many reasons I do not regret going to art school, but it really fucked me in a lot of ways art-wise that I'm still recovering from.
