BEFORE YOU POST: THINK!

Are you:

T - Talking negatively about sex?

H - Harming queer expression?

I - Idealizing conservative values?

N - Negatively portraying sex?

K - Kinkshaming?

If the answer to THINKing is yes….. rephrase or shut up!

Eating all of the marshmallows out of your sister's cereal box except for one at the bottom so that later when she attempts to eat said cereal and asks you if you ate all the marshmallows you can truthfully say "No" and watch her dump out the entire box until the lone survivor appears and she engages you in fisticuffs

Need a tiny cephalopod to brighten your day? Meet the bobtail squid (Euprymna berryi)! Also known as the hummingbird squid, this critter typically grows only up to 2 in (5 cm) in length; females are larger than males. This species lives in Indo-Pacific waters, inhabiting the ocean floor where it burrows beneath sand to rest or hide when under threat. Its striking color comes from chromatophores, or pigment-holding cells, distributed throughout its body.

I'm a squid biologist on a mission

To bring squid facts to you. To your friends. To your neighbors. To some random dude named Brad who you've never met.

How? The Squid Facts Project. It's a street art campaign and hotline that texts folks squid facts!

Only snag in this hair-brained plan is that texting people is kiiinda expensive. So! I teamed up with Philly artist Corey Danks to sell shirts to keep the hotline running. Every one of those shirt dollars helps deliver squid facts to people.

Like, over 70,000 people over the last year!!! Isn't that wild?

So anyway. Get a shirt. They're cool, *and* they keep people learning about squid. It's a beautiful thing.

Also, the backs have the squid facts hotline on them so by wearing these you're helping people learn about squid too.

If you can't buy one, give us a reblog. I run a small science education nonprofit called Skype a Scientist, we're scrappy but trying so hard!!

I am so fucking sick of being mistaken for a woman all the fucking time but there’s no actual good way to be perceived as a man! Oh you want people to ~assume~ you’re male? Well just be disgusting and ugly and gross and don’t smile or be nice or be helpful or have emotions you know boys are so dumb and bottle up all their feelings and keep your hair short and don’t shave because facial hair is a thing that men have you know and maybe if you get on testosterone and go bald maybe then people will stop thinking you’re a girl :) maybe!

Ammonites were some of the most diverse organisms in the ancient ocean. The Museum holds one of the world’s largest collections of ammonites, containing nearly two million specimens that represent 300 million years of Earth’s history!
