Carnivorous 'death-ball' sponge is team's oddest deep-sea find The unusual creature lurks more than two miles (3.2km) deep in a trench in the Southern Ocean.

'Dr Michelle Taylor, a University of Essex scientist who led the voyage, said: "If anything brushes up against them, they're doomed, unfortunately. Then to be absorbed slowly over time is a grim way of going."

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Since 2020, Alcoa Police officers have responded to 976 vehicle accidents on Alcoa Highway. This year alone, data taken from Jan. 1 to June 20, vehicles have crashed on the highway 134 times.

Using data from the city of Alcoa, this year’s crash to calendar-day ratio is approximately 4 to 5 — meaning an accident on the highway in Alcoa has an 80% chance of occurring every day, or wrecks are anticipated on 80% of days in a calendar year.

In 2020, it was a 64% chance, 89% in 2021 and 77% in 2022. The nickname “Al-kill-ya Highway” has long preceded these statistics

I agree. It's odd.
I was curious and found this info on how many crashes happen there

Alcoa Highway is *always* having work done on it. And people drive recklessly on it.

Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine ! would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
may her memory

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

sometimes I think I've done okay breaking generational patterns of behaviour through years of therapy, and then one (1) tiny thing will irritate me slightly and it's like ten generations of vengeful and bloodthirsty patriarchs bodily possess me and proceed to scorch the earth in a 50-mile radius
