It worries me so much that we will never recover as a society from the antiscience misinformation spread on social media and in some of the right wing press. This has unpicked health preventions, turned some MPs against vaccines. This antiscience is pushing us back in time to the dark ages.

Today is the book birthday of HEROINE'S JOURNEY. She turns 4! Thanks to any and all who gave my first non-fiction foray a chance. I very much appreciate it. I had no idea it would touch so many, and it's been a delight bringing it to you.

KPop Demon Hunters is a brilliant film, but it’s also lovely seeing its voice actors, songwriters, and singers become stars after years of struggling in the industry

It’s pretty bonkers this is not a real band, and EJAE (lead vocals) hadn’t performed in a decade until this

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old

I have made my peace with "alright" in peevish exclamations like "Alright already, I'll be right down," but otherwise the kids, pace The Who, are all right.
You're getting me twitchy over "alright" now. (It is 100% incorrect always, according to me)

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.
