So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!
Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

When it comes to certain parts of anatomy, #museums have been deliberately teaching people the wrong thing.
Most #mammals have a bone in their penis but natural history museums usually remove them from display, as I told @iflscience.com (& wrote in #NaturesMemory):

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Personal inflection point: a friend from Scandinavia who I'd planned to host in May just cancelled his visit. It's not safe for him, and I can't play tourist in D.C. like nothing's wrong.

Met a new friend at Maryland's Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge: an eastern mud turtle. We walked across the road together for safety.

This reduction of a word's intensity is called ‘semantic bleaching.’

Many medievalists will be familiar with this oft-reproduced representation of the structure of the brain.
But did you know that this far superior image precedes it in the manuscript? NOW YOU DO.

Note for Americans:
Magna Carta was the rich ruling elite getting pissy at the king for ignoring them. The king agreed to it, then went back to ignoring them.
So, weirdly, Chuck Schumer referring to it is correct. Just probably not in the way he thinks.
