A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ominous bird valentines.

Me and the group chat can’t stop talking about Netflix’s Physical:Asia so this photography book sounds interesting.

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

Love it

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I feel this tremendously. I’ve downed the machine for a few months now and haven’t set it up. 😩😭

Cabbage Review: BEST FOOD OF THE YEAR?!

This reminds me of the ice storm that hit my area in 2024. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this! 💔

Black women's unemployment has skyrocketed. Here’s what happened. The rate is now equivalent to White women’s during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession.

Ironically, I got one of these in 2024 at Google I/O! It's for Gemini and it has the DeLorean in the sliding bit

To any junior devs reading the discourse, don't let anyone tell you crunch is necessary. Don't fall for it. Long term crunching is dangerous for your physical & mental health, full stop. Great games are not made because of crunch, they are made in SPITE of crunch, and it is NOT sustainable. Period.

Perimenopause will hopefully be the sweet release 🥲
