Gene behind orange fur in cats found at last After 60 years, scientists know why gingers, calicos, and tortoiseshells look the way they do

β€œMost orange cats are boys, a quirk of feline genetics that also explains why almost all calicos and tortoiseshells are girls.”

I'm not here to fight about bathrooms. I'm here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them.
This effort to distract from the real issues facing this country hasn't distracted me over the last several days, as Ive remained hard at work preparing to represent the greatest state in the union come January.
Serving in the 119th Congress will be the honor of a lifetime - and I continue to look forward to getting to know my future colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Each of us were sent here because voters saw something in us that they value. I have loved getting to see those qualities in the future colleagues that I've met and I look forward to seeing those qualities in every member come January. I hope all of my colleagues will seek to do the same with me.
- Delaware Congresswoman-elect Sarah McBride

Current nonfiction read is one I've been looking forward to for a bit. Lucked into finding a copy of Eve by @catbohannon.bsky.social at the local library and have been thoroughly enjoying it so far!

Star Man: Vincent van Gogh’s Illuminated Nights | Magazine | MoMA The author explores Van Gogh’s fascination with different kinds of illumination, from stars to newly invented gaslight.

Given the buzz around Bluesky lately- if you'd like to read more on blue skies, I recently wrote for MoMA on perhaps the most beloved work in its collection - the Starry Night - and Van Gogh's fascination with the theme of artificial illumination www.moma.org/magazine/art...

My new book, The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad, is out today. It tells the story of the botanists who worked at the world's first seed bank during the 900-day siege––and how they were faced with a terrible decision: eat the fruits of their research to survive, or protect the collection for science.

Adding this to my wishlist! Such an interesting piece of history.
