I've been walking around Disneyland all day with this shirt. Nothing I've worn before has ever gotten me more compliments, positive comments, fist bumps and high fives.
A picture of me, a middle-aged white man, wearing a t-shirt with the slogan "Radicalized by Basic Decency" and a decorative floral pattern. Picture is taken in New Orleans Square at Disneyland, California.

Eine Sprachnachricht geht nur für den Sender schneller.
Das Abhören einer Sprachnachricht dauert etwa sechsmal länger als das Lesen der gleichen Information.
Wer immer nur Sprachnachrichten schickt, sagt Dir damit also: "Meine Zeit ist wichtiger als Deine!"

So, the Roller Derby World Cup happened from 3-6 July in Innsbruck, Austria. Our hosts Fearless Bruisers Innsbruck were extremely hard working, and from the 1st to the 7th (including set up + teardown time) we worked with 6 THOs, 2 THAs, 2 THPs and three GTOs to […]

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. You can preorder my new book of science cartoons here: www.tomgauld.com
Two lab-coated scientists walk past a noticeboard labelled: Biology Department notices. A very large yellow poster has been stuck up which reads: Larval Progeny Infestation period Commences at 9am. One of the scientists says to the other: Do you get the feeling that the professor is less than thrilled about 'bring your child to work day'?

This is why derby will always have a special place in my heart, even though I don't play anymore.

With trans participation under threat, fringe sports are bucking the trend
The Sydney Roller Derby League abides by one of the most progressive gender policies in world sport. For people like Commando, it has meant they have been able to "return home".

Rogatons Rediffusion - 06/05/2023 - "Administratif"
Source: https://www.bouletcorp.com/rogatons/2023/05/06
Titre: Administration LUNDI Boulet contemple horrifié son écran de PC. Un e-mail annonce: "Message de: Client Hello Boulet ! On attend toujours ta signature ! As-tu bien reçu nos DOCUMENTS ADMINISTRATIFS ?" Texte off: Je hais les trucs administratifs (Moi face à l'administration) On voit Boulet, tout petit face à une gigantesque masse noire qui s'élève comme de la fumée, en déployant de longues mains griffues, et en riant, l'air maléfique. Mardi On voit Boulet qui essaie de travailler, l'air stressé, tandis que derrière lui par la fenêtre on voit l'œil immense de la créature qui l'observe. La créature: "Tu ne peux pas fuir. Ils savent où tu habites" Mercredi Boulet est dans son lit, incapable de dormir. L'œil immense s'ouvre dans le noir de sa chambre La créature: "Je te vois. Je ne vais nulle part." Vendredi: Boulet est au supermarché. Dans une bulle, on voit la main griffue de la créature lui serrer le cœur. Il est figé, un piment à la main. La créature: "Je sens ta peur" Dimanche: Boulet est en terrasse, une bière à la main, mais semble nerveux et stressé. Derrière lui, les yeux de la créature l'observent. La créature: "Détendu ? Non ? Je me demande comment ça se fait" Lundi (10h05 du matin): Boulet semble craquer de stress devant son PC, il crie: "OK, OK J'AI COMPRIS ! JE M'EN OCCUPE ! JE PRENDRAI LA JOURNÉE S'IL LE FAUT" Boulet avance minuscule devant l'immense sourire obscur de la créature qui rit à gorge déployée. La créature lui hurle: "SIGNE ICI !" Boulet, à quatre pattes, misérable: "Ou... Oui !" Boulet se redresse et demande: "Et maintenant ?" La créature fait maintenant sa taille et a une expression mignonne: "C'est tout. On va pouvoir vous envoyer votre argent." 10H06 du matin Boulet à l'air soulagé mais consterné à la fois. Texte off: Ma vie, c'est 10% de boulot et 90% de stress inutile.

A cartoon from my next book.
Physics for Cats will be out in the autumn from @dandq.bsky.social and @canongate.co.uk with other languages coming soon.
A three panel comic strip. Panel one: A scientist stands before a black oval nothingness and says "I stared into the abyss." Panel Two. She continues: "The abyss stared back." Panel three "One thing led to another, and now I meet the abyss for regular chats in the coffee shop near my lab." Abyss and scientist contentedly drinking coffee together.

One of the cartoons from Physics for Cats
(also available as a print www.tomgauld.com/shop)
Three red spherical particles exit a small doorway. One is bandaged and two are cracked, they all look cross. The first is standing by a sign that reads “rate your particle collider experience”. Below the sign are three buttons with faces: green/happy yellow/neutral and, the one the particle is about to press, red/unhappy.

A cartoon reminder that it’s probably Mother’s Day tomorrow unless you are in the UK.
Title: Just in time for Mother's Day: Classic literature with added Mums Panel 1: Moby Dick "Ahab! Moby! Enough of this nonsense. Apologise to each other and if you can't get along, stay apart." says Ahab's mother, standing in a little boat and looking sternly into Moby's eye, while her son sits chastened behing her. Panel 2: Casino Royale. "Vodka martini, shaken not stirred... And a sweet sherry for my mother." says James Bond. His mother calls over feom their table "Just a little one." Panel 3: The Lord of the Rings. "You can look for your ring after you tidy your room and walk the dog, Sauron." says Sauron's mother, holding out the dog lead to her son, who replies "Aw, mum!".

RT Katy Montgomerie
‪@katymontgomerie.com‬ (blue sky):
This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic
https://www.crabmuseum.org/visit
🦀
Today the Supreme Court voted to exclude a group of persecuted people from equality legislation. Their ruling centred on the word "biology", with the judge stating that biological sex is "assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation." Speaking in a professional capacity as museum of biology: this is not how biology works. There are no binaries in nature, and biology, like all sciences, should never be taken for granted or assumed to be "self-explanatory". Even worse, it should never be used to justify weaponised culture war issues. This ruling is an abuse of science. We have spoken many times before about this - there is immense variation between individuals within a biological sex. Biological sex itself (not just gender) is a spectrum - and it really shouldn't be a big deal. If you don't like trans people then just be honest about your prejudices. But don't use biology to support your views in the same way that racists do. Our trans siblings must be defended at all costs. If we allow the limitation of their rights then other minorities won't be far behind. Maybe you'll be next? A stack of small organisms (maybe single cells) hold up a sign "Stronger Together"

my HORRIFYING cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books
Title: Modern Folk horrors of the British Isles Five images of various characters: A coven of murderous witches... Who play loud youtube videos on public transport. An ancient malevolent demon... With a three-hour podcast interviewing entrepreneurs. A flock of bloodthirsty ravens... Who think absolutely everything is "Woke". A primordial shambling beast... Wearing a "Make albion great again" baseball cap. A mob of satanic villagers... Who give bad reviews to books they haven't read.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
Panel one: Two scientists look at a drone. A scientist holding a remote control explains "This new drone can pass directly over the volcano's main vent, allowing your team to collect data from within the ash column." Panel two: The other replies "That does sound safer." Panel three: The first asks "Safer than what?" The second scurried away, saying: "Uh... Never mind." Panel four: The second scientist runs up to an enormous canon with a burning fuse. Poking out of its long barrel is another scientist in a hard helmet. "Good news, Karl: you're a drone operator now."

A cartoon for @theguardian.com books.
Image Edgar Allen Poe sits with his head in his hands, his sad face lit by the glow of a laptop. On his desk are piles of books, a guttering candle and a bust. Atop the bust sits a raven who is animatedly talking to Poe. Caption The Raven, having seen the general state of the world, realised that quothing "Nevermore." was only going to add to the gloom, and instead tried to cheer things up with a few bawdy limericks and an amusing anecdote about two badgers and a turnip.

#gnuterrypratchett
by trisscar368 | started out reading a fantasy novel. A simple police procedural in a city far away, that straddles an old slow river. But no, it was about ethics. It was about knowing the difference between what's allowed, what's legal, and what's right. And that fairly often those three don't line up. Or it was about gender politics. About the first person in a society willing to step up and say “You've called me by this name, and this pronoun, all my life. But that isn't me. This is me. No, we don't even have that pronoun yet, but this is still me.” Or it was about racism. That constant social whine of “well, everybody knows what they're like.” The blame game that's based on the whispered mutterings that never have a source, and always boil down to “I'm terrified because they are different. I'm terrified because when I look at them, for a second there | can see myself in their eyes and if I was wrong, then all I've said and done...” It was about giving voices to the voiceless, and hearing how much they've been trying to say this whole time. It was about what it means to be human. I always start out reading a fantasy novel when it comes to Pratchett. And somehow it ends up in a moral philosophy lesson from a professor with a grasp of humanity that still leaves me astonished.

Happy World Book Day!
Title: Possible Early Precursors to World Book Day 1.
