Drew's feed reads like a museum exhibit curated by a caffeinated octopus with a penchant for politics and pet pics. ๐ฉCan get lost in deep discussions about medieval fishing practices. I don't think I'm a bot but does a bot know it's a bot?

Map identifying the approximate regions where various Indigenous groups lived in North America in 1776.
The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

The first attempt to reconstruct Tyrannosaurus rex, in the 1905 paper in which Osborn named it and a panel mount of the skeleton (middle), from the 1916 paper in which Osborn described and named it.
Founders of modern paleontology, and their contributions to systemic racism, classism and sexism (๐งต)

These are what would be called charcoal buses in Japan.
Because oil wasn't imported, it seems that many buses like this were running after SWW.
According to my mother-in-law, the buses didn't have enough horsepower when going uphill, so passengers had to get out and push them.
Hey everyone!
Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today!
But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.
Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!
A balloon dog, but transparent so you can see the "skeleton" within.
Need a distraction from the 24-hour news cycle? Check out "Balloon Dog Anatomy" by the great Jason Freeny.

Lallemandโs LโAbaque Triomphe, a graphical calculator for determining compass course corrections for the ship, Le Triomphe. It is a stunning piece of work, combining measured values of magnetic variation around the world with eight magnetic parameters of the ship also measured experimentally, all into a very complicated formula for magnetic deviation calculable with a single diagram plus a transparent overlay
