Ooh I somehow missed the original drawing, looking great! The fibers look like gummy laces getting pulled apart to me (spin spin sugar?)

... alternatively you can have my sweets that look like artefacts! 🤣

I’m Supposed to be Visible Today — But Why? Every year I wonder if visibility and joy are the same thing. And every year I am more and more convinced that the answer is no.

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!
We're everywhere and we're cool.

Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Gilead refuses to sell groundbreaking HIV prevention drug to MSF Blocking humanitarian organizations from accessing a medical breakthrough puts vulnerable people across the world in danger.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.

The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

Oh woww, can't wait to see the fired colors :)

A partially-finished illustration on the side of a brown clay mug. There are outlines of mushroom and a fully painted frog who looks a little out of it

Same mug situation, but this time the frog is inspired by a grumpy little rain frog

Another bisque-fired in-progress mug, this one with an elaborate illustration of leaf litter & the critters who live in it

Another view of a leaf litter mug

Mug progress!!!! Today was all about frogs, toads, and super-detailed leaf litter situations 👍

Not gonna lie, sometimes I get inside the womb fluids tank when there’s no clone growing in there. It feels so good to float suspended like that and the juices do amazing things for my pores

Use a dupe glitch and you'll have a full stack (happy belated birthday!)

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

"Digitale Auslöschung": Wie US-Sanktionen einen europäischen Richter lahmlegen Nicolas Guillou ist von beinahe allen digitalen Diensten dieser Welt gesperrt – von Amazon bis Paypal. Europa wirkt dagegen völlig machtlos

Diese Geschichte ist unfassbar.
Weil der Trump-Regierung die Arbeit des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs nicht passt, wird ein französischer Richter digital de facto ausgelöscht und bekommt keine Kreditkarte und kein Bankkonto mehr:

Very much enjoyed this mathsy puzzle zine by @mscroggs.co.uk. Also great for sharing. While some of the puzzle instructions could be clearer IMO, I'm looking forward to the next one :)

ok so what gets called "gender ideology" is jsut like "be who and how you want" and what gets called "not ideology" is like "follow these specific unwritten rules and perform these forbidden rituals according to the circumstances of your birth"

Nice garden path sentence. I assume the counting is being done from space but the creatures are on earth?

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Santa's naughty and nice list. Naughty is 6÷2(1+2). Nice is "6/((2(1+2)) or (6/2)(1+2)"

Be on Santa's nice list by simply conveying what you mean mathematically clearly so we can stop having these PEMDAS arguments.
