Happy 1st October! 🍁
The brilliant reds, oranges & yellows of autumn leaves aren’t just a seasonal show, they’re the result of clever chemistry.
A perfect reminder that chemistry always leaves us impressed. 🍂
Many thanks to @compoundchem.com for the fabulous graphic.

My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

Media saying avoiding Covid is “health anxiety” is like saying…
Seatbelt = Crash Anxiety
Life Jacket = Drowning Anxiety
Helmet = Brain Injury Anxiety
Winter Boots = Frostbite Anxiety

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. -

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre.
It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky.
But it's us.
It's Earth.
From Mars.

Never understood why a set of false teeth is called
"dentures".
They really missed an opportunity to call it
"substitooths"

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.
By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

"If we give Hitler Austria, surely he'll be satisfied and won't try to take more territory."
Harvard is run by amoral cowards. They're going to capitulate and make a deal while paying the bribe to Trump.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Not everyone can participate in boots on the ground resistance.
Protesting is a privilege.
Boycotting is a privilege.
Many forms of resistance are privileges that are out of reach for the most vulnerable.
If you can’t be boots on the ground, here’s a community action item that needs support!

Urgent community action needed by Monday!
“DOE wants to remove 12 civil rights rules. Part of these are disability access protections. They say the rules are unnecessary & outdated”
This will mean buildings aren’t accessible to disabled people. Another step towards eliminating us from society

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

please be conscientious of the way you talk about “masked people” these days; some face coverings are poor excuses for protection as they are used as vehicles for oppression, others—respirators—are themselves tools of liberation. act like it. mask up & support maskblocs.
