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 scientistβ€”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...

Can’t understand why YOU are struggling with imposter syndrome when both Andrew Tate and Donald Trump are out there thinking they’re the hottest, most intelligent people on the planet. Free yourself immediately by telling your brain to shut the fuck up.

Please annoy my cat by reposting this pic of him. He’s refusing to even sit on the same couch with me and it’s not fair.

We had a spate of them about a week ago. Don't normally get them as my landline is barely used and isn't listed anywhere. From different numbers but seemed like the same pre-recorded voice making a poor attempt to sound like a person actually having a conversation with you.

I think being human is and should be a constant forward motion strive to be better, kinder and happier. It’s what we owe to ourselves and other people. Find those who help you to become a better version of yourself. Be a werewolf.

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

Hello, look, here's a bit of my human art. It's from my book Haru: Book 3. It's nominated for a @brokenfrontier.bsky.social award for Best Colorist. Making art is scary as sh*t because some people WILL hate it. It'd be awesome if you could vote for my book www.brokenfrontier.com/introducing-...

[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]

[Title panel]:

The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights

In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.

LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead

Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph

Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.

LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.

[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]

They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.

And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light

Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985). 
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]

So remember: you must use LED headlights

To prevent everyone from not crashing into you. 
[Image shows this happening]
