Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

I don't wish we could abolish gender, I just wish it were less an identity and more of a hobby. So you'd get people who are like "Oh yeah, l'm a woman when I have the time," or "I'm a man but I'm not very good at it yet" along with the CrossFit gender types who are SUPER INTO IT

A friend just saw this in the wild and you know what? I stand by it

Photo of a table with 12 mineral specimens and some information cards. There's a display screen next to the table showing a PowerPoint presentation. The text on the screen summarises science at the NHM, with a photo of the blue mineral kernowite: Over 300 scientists work at the Museum; many different projects across nine Research Themes; the Graduate Centre hosts Masters courses and PhD projects; cutting edge science facilities and an extensive library and archives collection; hundreds of new species discovered every year.

The NHM gardens can be seen outside the large window behind the table. Closer view of the table with the 12 minerals and a card that says "Who's that mineral?! Can you match the labels with the specimens?". The minerals featured are graphite, gold in quartz, quartz prism, malachite, labradorite, petalite, copper, cassiterite, opal, calcite, agate and talc.

Last night was the first time I've ever done an after hours event at the NHM (teenagers got to learn about a wide range of museum careers). I made a mineral matching game and the only person who managed to get all 12 right was a Minecraft player. Love that!

Black and white photo of Martin Scorsese with his hands up. The caption says "absolute cinema" in all caps.

I watched Cocaine Bear for the first time and it's actually an amazing film 💯

Werewolf eating a star with their claws reaching over the phases of the moon and their feet dancing over the phases of an eclipse.
The entire image is framed with a metallic copper frame detailing various phases of a werewolf transformation. Close up of the previous image.

This werewolf commands astral bodies and the alchemic dualities of human-hood, beast-hood, and transgender expression. 🌕 🌟 ☀️

AND oh my GOSH did everyone here like the preview for this one. Well, now it's available as a print that you can buy (if you live in the US).

A collage of pin photos. The pins are variously nature themed, including frogs, flowers, trees ans ferns. Others are flags or pronoun pins. Some are gamechanger loopdeloops and some are circular, saying "It's Dr actually"

50 days into the new year and I've officially broken my streak of at least one pin sale every day in 2026. It was actually 130 days in total! 🎉

The response to my pins has been absolutely incredible and I've been blown away by all the amazing reviews, especially over the last four months or so 🩷

Haha, I saw that and assumed there would be a set of pins included like with all the similar priced lanyards 🙃 The 30th anniversary stuff so far is underwhelming

A mass of platy crystals of black metallic hematite, resembling a rose. There's a sprinkling of small thin crystals of red rutile on each hematite "petal", and at the centre of the "rose" is a quartz crystal. From Cavradi Gorge, Switzerland.

Specimen on display in the Natural History Museum, London.

A Swiss hematite rose for all you mineral lovers #MineralMonday #minerals

Rhodochrosite with Galena, Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite which present white, amber, lead and pinkish colours across the specimen.

Happy Galena-tines!

Rhodochrosite with Galena, Sphalerite and Chalcopyrite.

When hit, Galena will break along three directions of weakness that meet at right angles, creating smaller cubes. Galena’s hardness is similar to that of a fingernail.
