I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

P.E.I. homeowner captures sound and video of meteorite strike on camera, and scientists believe it's a first | CBC News
A man in Prince Edward Island got doubly lucky last July, recording a meteorite's impact on his home security cameras. The space rock also landed in the exact spot he'd been standing minutes earlier.

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember:
You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

This green meteor was captured while taking a time-lapse to document the urbanization around the Skyislands southern in India. The camera was set at 15s exposure for 999 shots and this came into one of those shots.

Finally a proper photo of my latest #SciArt #embroidery, the wandering ghost (2024). I’m writing an essay about the process for this piece so watch for that in the future. It’s about my experiential investigation into the #VagusNerve. 🧶🩺🧪🐡

Hello lovelies!
Have any of you read The Will to Change by bell hooks?
Just finished it -- it touched my heart from the very first page and gave me much insight into the men in my life.
I'd love to hear from men who have read it! What did you think? Did it ring true to you?

I'm old enough to remember when a computer didn't automatically connect to the internet, it used to make a screaming noise. We should have listened.

Amid the sea of appalling stories that make my skin crawl, something that really struck me in the Gaiman allegations has been his pattern of proposing no-contract handshake financial agreements that he can later reneg on.
