It's #StrawberryMoon day! And before you scoff "but the full moon happens every month Catherine", this is the once-every-18.6-yr lunar standstill. In the Northern hemisphere the moon will rise just above the horizon (look S) before it dips back down again 1/🧵🧪🔭 ⏰ www.timeanddate.com/moon/uk/edin...

I’ve often wondered why snooze on alarms was 9 mins rather than 10. Turns out it’s a tradition dating back to mechanical alarm clocks as 9 mins was much easier to engineer a mechanism for than 10. So a relative to QWERTY.

Here’s a funny story. When Eli Roth premiered “Cabin Fever” at TIFF, he put David Lynch’s name in the credits as Executive Producer without telling him. David found out and asked to have the film screened. He watched and then abruptly told Roth to take his name immediately off the film.

What's this little mouse doing? She's howling like a wolf... and she's earned the right. Deadly & tiny, this is the grasshopper mouse (genus Onychomys). Their super-power: near immunity to painful stings, making scorpions, snakes & millipedes just tasty snacks.

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable

Fun fact: asking your depressed friend if they're suicidal won't make them suicidal but it may make them think that you actually care about their well-being 👍 #MentalHealth

CW: talking about suicidality Pro tip: it’s okay to use the word “suicide” Most people asking the question will want to use a euphemism like “hurt yourself” or “do something drastic” When someone is in crisis, it’s easy to miscommunicate. They need to know exactly what’s up. Directness is better.

"Starting hormone therapy is a big decision and doubting it doesn’t make someone any less trans." This piece is for the second-guessers - those who feel the answer to "What presentation will make me feel euphoric?" isn't all that simple. Read Cay's guide below: www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

Completely bizarre to hear tv talk about sending in the military and then you see the actual pics of the protests and people are buying hot dogs and line dancing while the Nat Guard looks on in silent envy.

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach. Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state. Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy. And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

I tell first time protestors they gotta get to the streets because it will change them and send a message. Because it does. Americans are drunk on individualism & we need to build solidarity. Protest does that. Street actions break down barriers between us - class, race, all the ways we separate.

If you're not scared, you're fooling yourself. It is WISE to be scared. Try to not let it paralyze you, but also try to not ignore that fear. Fear is a survival mechanism, not your enemy. Work with it, not against it.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

With autism, interactions with strangers can be deeply uncomfortable and exhausting on a fundamental level & this has nothing to do with whether or not we like people. If you call someone with autism "misanthropic," you should probably rethink your life.

If you're standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus and you've been waiting for over 30 minutes and the bus doesn't even arrive.. you're stressing out and thinking how could they do this to me. So much so that the rest of the day at the very least is completely ruined. You may well be autistic.
