A black and white drawing of my spouse, questioning how we ordered all this food, saying "I kind of give-a-mouse-a-cookie'd my lunch"

A freebie to one place leads to a bogo at another, which then reminds us that we have a coupon to another place -- and next thing you know, we have a whole feast! 👑

#inktober day 6

A black and white drawing of my spouse, celebrating our huge garden, saying "I'm a f*cking farmers market!"

We're actually really proud of our garden -- we grew sweet corn for the first time, and it was delicious!

A black and white drawing of my spouse, carrying a duck in a canvas bag, saying "one second you're young and carefree... And then next you're taking your pet duck to the emergency vet because she's family"

Last winter, one of our ducks was attacked in the evening by an opossum and Jody rushed her to an emergency vet (tucked under their arm in a canvas bag). She spent the next three weeks in our bathtub as we cleaned her wounds and gave her antibiotics, and made a full recovery 🙌🦆

#inktober day 4

A black and white drawing of my spouse, holding an SPF sun shirt from a store rack, saying "it makes getting a sunburn illegal -- I can literally sue the sun!"

The sun should still be afraid of lawsuits, because Jody gets sun burnt very easily ☀️🔥

The Insatiable Energy Demands of Data Centers Could Increase Fossil Fuel Emissions in California By 2030, the centers could consume the equivalent of adding another city the size of L.A. to the state’s power grid.

NEW INVESTIGATION

California predicts data centers will consume as much power as adding another LA to grid by 2030

A utility anticipates additional emissions equal to 21 gas plants

Some environmentalists see reducing gas power as “a lot less likely” due to AI capitalandmain.com/the-insatiab...

As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m.

I have amazing #ITeachPhysics and #TTRPG news to share! Adventures with Emmy (AwE), a STEM education tabletop roleplaying game, has been AWARDED FUNDING by the National Science Foundation.

In AwE, mathematician and physicist Emmy Noether invites you to learn science by exploring imaginative worlds.

Gen Z in Nepal burned down the parliament, burned down the homes of government officials, forced the prime minister to resign, and paraded the finance minister through the streets nearly naked.

The "Anitta-Kin" city park sign, surrounded by grass and trees and light shining down. Text: names are so amazing because everyone's name is *theirs*

In the foreground, the guardian of one of the kids is messaging a co-worker on her phone, while the children play in the background. Text: and while that name has been used thousands of times by so many people

Scene of the children, the boy handing a toy bus to the girl and saying "My name is Alex, wanna play?" Text: right then and there it is their name and their name alone.

Screenshot of the original quote that inspired this comic bro not to start again on names but u ever think abt how some names have been used for centuries, millenniums even... like how many times has the earth heard a mother calling, 'alexander!'... how many times have the starts caught a lover whispering, 'freyja'... how many times has the ground we've walked on and cntinue to walk on felt vibrations of a friend excitingly yelling, 'mary!' names are so amazing because everyone's name is *theirs* but that name has been used thousands of times by so many people but right then and there is is *their* name and theirs alone

A scene of multiple colosseums and ancient Greece-like landscape, with a mother calling out to her son in the distance Text: like, how many times has the earth heard a mother calling...

Scene of Indo-Islamic and Mughal architecture and a garden, with two lovers nestled in a pergola, and one of them is whispering the other's name. Text: how many times have the stars caught a lover whispering... Priya

Scene in a 19th century train station, where two friends are running towards each other, one shouting out the others name. Text: or, how many times has the ground we've walked on - and continue to walk on - felt the vibrations of a friend excitedly yelling... May!

I finished this about a year ago, based off a tumblr quote that stuck with me about names, and how special they are, and how so many people have shared our names, but your name is still uniquely yours

Already some beautiful coloring of the Quantum Computing Coloring Book! 🖍️

wonders.physics.wisc.edu/quantum/quan...

The cover for The Quantum Computing Coloring Book, featuring the title and authors, Aedan Gardill and Sarah Parker, in the center. Surrounding the title are colorful designs of a circuit board and atoms.

A drawing depicting six proposed uses of quantum computing. Starting in the top left: provide more secure encryption, find more effective materials for battery composition, improve current models of climate change, solve traffic problems more efficiently, assist to find new medicine, and help identify new fertilizer compounds. The background is a tiled pattern, with atoms at the center of each hexagon.

A drawing depicting topological qubits, with two bands on the top and bottom containing electrons that are topologically connected together through the drawing. 1990s reminiscent shapes are scattered in the background, representing "noise" to the qubits

Illustration of scientist Nia Pollard holding a flask and pipette. She is a chemist and uses quantum computing algorithms to better model molecules, showcasing one of the applications of quantum computing. To her right is a larger flask with a depiction of a molecule inside.

Want to color qubits? ⚛️ Now you can! @scientistsarah.bsky.social and my coloring book is up on the web! (Link below 👇) There are 24 illustrated coloring pages, along with descriptions, so anyone can discover something new about Quantum Computing!

(Physical copies coming soon!!)
