A split bar chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Americans are most likely to say T. Rex is their favorite dinosaur, but many don't have a favorite." The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following is your favorite dinosaur? (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: "Other" includes responses of archaeopteryx, spinosaurus, plesiosaur, ankylosaurus, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, dilophosaurus, diplodocus, iguanadon, and pachycephalosaurus, as well as responses of "other." We know pterodactyls and plesiosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Opinion about dinosaurs comes from the question, "How much do you like or dislike dinosaurs?""

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur.

And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops).

A magnetic chore chart whiteboard on the fridge, zoomed in on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Instead of having individual cells tracking different chores marked off, someone has written SO MUCH MANUAL LABOR, NOBODY DIED, and LATE NIGHT SHEEP RODEO across the columns for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday respectively. Other cells and tracking items, such as my cat Andy's every-other-day medication, and hearts for chores done together, are also noted.

Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

Meet Sleepy Bees 🐝

This brand-new design was inspired by Minnesota autumn, when little bees sometimes fall asleep in flowers where they landed. Now they’re snoozing peacefully along the hem on a soft sage background.

Hey so @nerdykeppie.bsky.social is 9 years old.

Thank you for enabling me to spend my life making gay art.

The Egyptian sun-god Ra, illustrated in the Egyptian style. He is a human figure with the head of a falcon, a huge disk on his head, wrapped by a cobra, a staff in one hand, and ankh in the other.

Complaining about winter is tired and passive.
Offering prayers to your preferred solar deity, is active, and has, in the history of the world, had worked 99% of the time.

Ra, please do not forget us. We, your faithful, are cold and long for the warm rays of your solar barque.
