Today we mark 61 years of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
In the face of efforts to reverse this progress and erase our histories, this anniversary is a reminder that the fight for equality requires a constant, active effort.

Someone tattooed a tardigrade and now I know what I want to be when I grow up.
These tiny “tattooed” dots could be the beginning of a new era of nanoscale medical devices or even living microrobots.

H/tip to the gorgeous @georgepenney.bsky.social. Everyday as I teeter on the edge of the hell mouth (i.e. living as an expat in the US) these Spotted stories stop me from falling right in. God I miss NZ.
🧵Spotted in While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A tiny human (2?) is given a lollypop. He licks it once and with Shakespearean levels of drama roars: "Yucky!"
Mum shrugs: "Okay give it here. I'll have it."
Tiny Dramatic Food Critic is horrified at this heinous plot twist: "NO! It's MINE!" (1)
