i didn't find my Kelly Gruber baseball card but look what i DID find in my Card File of Wonders (the card file is itself made of cardboard, and is falling apart) : a ~31 year old #SundayFishSketch, a mini-sculpture based on a Frank Stick painting

Having a little chat with my past self right now

Oh man, I didn’t even know this was a thing! We used to go to Maryland sheep and wool when I was a kid and try to go to the ag fair every year

Utah Museum Pin Quest #2 has begun. My first museum to visit was the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts!

There was some old-school study once about where people actually get their news and the answer was like "this one lady at church who keeps the radio on."

The silent era lasted for 4 decades but people still think "silent movie acting" was one thing.

There were multiple styles in use through different era. This scene from NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (1912) shows three at once: a hammy troupe, the phony kudos from their friends, Nicholas's genuine enjoyment

omg

mushrooming is one of those hobbies i think is pretty cool and i bet the people who are into it get a lot out of it but also every day i thank god it's not something i am even slightly obligated to do

Ive heard stories about a researcher (non mycological) who was doing field work and decided to try some mushrooms he found , he had to be airlifted out to a hospital. He goes back to the same location for more field research and decides to try them again “to rule out other factors” . Airlifted again

They returned to Ukraine because their son has adhd and other developmental disabilities that have treatments that are prohibitively expensive in the US. Let that sink in.

A man standing next to the open tailgate of a truck and a table of various jams, everything including him labeled Jay’s Jam.

So my dad makes jam and sells it at farmers markets. He’s gotten super into it, constantly coming up with new flavor combos. There have been more than 20 for sure. He just sent me a photo from this morning. He and his dog Buffy taste test every flavor.

Now that Bari Weiss has ascended to a powerful position at an influential network with a PR machine, I am seeing outlets that cover media like Puck and Mediaite present her as a "centrist" who might even challenge Trump.

That is such a deep and willful misreading of her oeuvre.

University of Pittsburgh launches world's first center to study horror genre The University of Pittsburgh is doubling down on its longstanding commitment to studying the horror genre with the launch of its new Horror Studies Center.

I am SO EXCITED about this! (Also, please notice that they seem to be referencing my History of the Sitcom class in the first sentence 😂) www.wesa.fm/arts-culture... #H2P

@meanlouise.bsky.social @drtares.bsky.social Field trip To come visit me- I mean, the new Horror Studies collection?

A graphic that reads Happy Ctenophore Day in glowing pink text twice between three rows of different ctenophore species.

Now that we know happiness is a warm gun and sympathy is a knife, it's pretty clear that we need to reinvest in basic research to identify which other feelings are also weapons

Decline in porpoise sightings off Bardsey Island The decline could be due to the impacts of climate change or because they are feeding elsewhere.

Before everybody sees it and maybe panics: the Special Olympics truck convoy is today. They're mustering at Shearwater and traffic is going to be FUBAR until early afternoon.

It's not *that* kind of convoy.

(It's a noisy fossil-fuel burning mess that probably needs to be replaced but here we are.)

When it comes to making paint & pigment I take safety seriously, just like when I worked in cell culture.

(& like then, it annoys some people who don't wanna be arsed.)

But it vexes me when art suppliers tell end users they should never put paint water from washing their brushes down the sink…

What I'm saying is that just because a pigment is natural doesn't mean you shouldn't dispose of it carefully if you use it in quantity.

& Just because a pigment is synthetic doesn't mean it's toxic. Some of the synthetic pigments I use in paint are also in toothpaste & makeup for example.

As usual, good thread from @atomicanalyst.bsky.social WITH ALT TEXT WHICH IS AWESOME about one of nuclear weapon “oopsies.”

My favorite stories about the Jupiters are their tendency to get struck by lightning & do things like release their deuterium-tritium boost gas into the warhead.

A low-resolution screenshot from a declassified color film showing a low-level aerial look at three Jupiter IRBMs deployed at Gioia Del Colle Air Base.

A color map titled "Jupiter IRBM Emplacements—Gioia Del Colle Air Base, 1960-1963" adapted from a map in an official document showing the location of all the Jupiter missiles deployed at Gioia Del Colle Air Base in Italy from 1960-63 (numbered in the order in which they were activated), along with the date the missiles were activated and deactivated and the driving distance to each location from Gioia Del Colle.

65 years ago today—during warhead installation and checkout operations on a US Air Force Jupiter IRBM at Gioia Del Colle Air Base in southeastern Italy—three explosive bolts accidentally fired due to a power surge, causing the nose cone and 1.4-Megaton W49 warhead to fall 6 to 10 feet to the ground.

I got vaxxed yesterday and then ate a bunch of junk so now my body is angry at me so I won’t be able to make this, but y’all should go see T. Kingfisher at Loyalty books tonight
