So do Kara and Raven! Altho I'm the only one with roller derby in my history.

Hey did y'all know I wrote a TTRPG?

Cuz like. I straight up forgot.

Here, check it out.

Close up of the tube feet on Pisaster ochraeus. The sea star arm is bright orange with white bumpy patterns. It is clinging to a wet dark rock.

A cluster of gooseneck barnacles, white and scaly-looking, protrudes from a bed of black mussels.

Orange and white tipped nudibranch! A beautiful pale sea slug covered in delicate poky gills with a pair of feathery horns on its face (bottom of the creature in this pic)

An orange sponge, possibly Haliclona sp., looking like a bunch of little tubes, grows on a rock surrounded by mussels, a green anemone, and a pink crust (another sponge species)

For #invertefest, some recent creature spotting done at the Oregon coast! The nudibranch was a goal of mine for sure and I ended up seeing 3 species - more will come tomorrow!

booty pride flag made of curvy butts in all the flag colors

happy pride, y’all

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

I continue to not understand why the Sixth Fleet can't just deliver things to Haifa and have our many, many, many trucks drive them down from there to Gaza, given that Israel is our ally

Decided to use some oldie but goodie photos. They're fun!

Good girl 😘

Dreaming of a Protected Ocean | NMAI Magazine Marine conservationist Angelo Villagomez tells how his Chamorro people in the Mariana Islands are working toward a protected ocean.

I'm really proud of this piece I wrote for Smithsonian about culture and conservation in the Mariana Trench

‘Mitzvah Night Is CANCELLED’ Inside the sex strike that has infuriated husbands and shaken the ultra-Orthodox world.

here's something ive been working on for over a month: the story of a jewish women's sex strike, the reasons behind it, and why no woman should be chained:

Silly orange-brown wasp with a thick rough-textured thorax, a tiny thread of a petiole connecting a weird shiny boxy abdomen to the creature's mainland. Paised on the edge of a palmetto frond.

Ms Obeza floridana made an appearance yesterday. Very silly creature on very serious wasp business. I love her, of course.

As I've noted before, if you are a right wing professor saying your speech is violated the Times will make you a celebrity. A right wing student can get an op-ed. No equivalent support for violations of leftist speech from the editors

this (typically of @flaminghydra.com pieces) is lucid, beautifully written, and raises points both complex and achingly simple (here — the problems caused by bellicose governments on an unstable world, and the injustice of war on civilians)

Tuna Crabs, Neither Tuna Nor Crabs, Are Swarming Near San Diego Divers and marine biologists are getting a window into the lives of a red crustacean most often found in the guts of other species.

I saw a flying lemur in Malaysia and then someone told me they’re not really lemurs and they can’t fly

Who is naming these things?

I’d like to speak to the manager

A road sign that says “angry squid open during construction.” Orange and white construction barrels about. I assume this is a store of some sort.
