4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us.

These posters are made to be shared!

We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online.

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

I read this poem and it tickled me, we all need to share in some joy. And then it got posted on Reddit's poetry sub where everyone shat themselves in indignant rage so now it's like my favourite thing ever.
Image shows the text of a poem: "I'm like if Mary Oliver had Attention Deficit Hyperactivitt Disorder" by Rose Zinnia. A poem on trans joy and adhd in the style of a tumblr shitpost.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

I unironically dream of being accepted to TBQ. Unfortunately I'd have to write something first.

Yeah you'll probably get rejected. That's how it goes in creative writing. We try to reply as personally as the volume allows!

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as "Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator. "The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."
