And if you're into history (of all types), here's a #starterpack of historians in Britain! I'm a medical historian and my latest book, THE FACEMAKER, is about the pioneering surgeon Sir Harold Gillies who rebuilt soldiers' faces during WW1. Find all sorts on this list! go.bsky.app/Fpw6Tvr

Life is pretty grim right now. Here's my #starterpack of writers, historians and institutes sharing quirky medical and science content that might serve as a welcome distraction. Make your corner of the world weird and wonderful. Never stop learning. go.bsky.app/3DuVT6Z

Can I offer you an Emotional Support Slug in these trying times? This beautiful black-margined nudibranch from Gordons Bay today has entered its unicorn-era with one rhinophore missing! 🧪🐙🦑

Every time evangelicals especially visibly roll over for some reactionary monstrosity you see a few people who grew up in that culture and really believe in its professed values discovering with horror that nobody around them ever actually believed any of it, and I always feel so bad for them

"Take Off Moment" Last one of these I'll share. Female northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) captured w/ #Olympus (OM System) using PRO CAPTURE mode. Other cameras now copy this feature but Oly does it best IMO. Thrilling to be able to do this. #BirdPhotography #photography #PhotographersUnited

One of the insidious rhetorical tricks of the post-9/11 era is the rebranding to “first responders,”lumping in cops (bad) with firefighters and paramedics (good).

Another GenX fave. Also, no, parents often did not, and they weren't particularly worried. If something bad happened, the cops would show up and tell them. For the record, I was usually in the arcade room of the local pizza place, playing Tempest and listening to "Tom Sawyer." youtu.be/niBhO3qGeGE

Finished series 2 of SAS: Rogue Heroes on BBC iPlayer - it’s such a fantastic series! It looks so expensively made, the action scenes are brilliant, the acting is tremendous, the characters great, and it skilfully walks the line between rollicking good fun and stripping back the utter horror of war

Seems important that in Fahrenheit 451, books were still “available” in single-paragraph summaries—“read Hamlet in five minutes!”—but the books themselves had been banned for being too difficult. Tech boosters see a warning and think it’s an instruction manual.
