134 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 134 years the problem has only gotten worse.
Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:
Tbh, we don’t even need gender markers on ids.
Heartbreaking essay - and infuriating. As the author says, you’re choosing to harm others by choosing not to be vaccinated. Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...
Glad to hear Irritator is heading home to Brazil. This has been a long fight for the Brazilians and should serve as a watershed moment for return of other key holotypes.
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Anatomy would be so much easier to teach…
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
