A factoid, apropos of nothing

Dora the Explorer has a sidekick, a monkey named Boots.

In Latin, the monkey is named Caligula. 🤔

Just took a stroll through the Wellington Botanical Gardens.

In the herb garden, a sign invites passers-by to learn about "aromantic herbs". This proves that while you can take the girl out of the proofreading job, the converse is impossible.

Today I received my PTSD/cPTSD AstralPride flag, the latest design from astralpride.com, designed by @betterthanember.bsky.social — thank you, Ember, for this lovely intersection of Pride, science, and art 🩷

What do you do when you can't remember the word aphasia?

Crux (the Southern Cross) on the right; Alpha Centauri, far left.

I find astronomical observation awe inspiring, since I am *not* looking at a display but at real objects, mindbogglingly distant.

As a victim of InfoWars violence, I have a suggestion for a meaningful use of that wretched name.

Make it into a REAL news source. Rigorous research, citations, science, ethics: aim directly at ending fascism & hatred.

The Onion is fine satire; we need serious journalism.

"Strength is walking into a place where people are saying insane shit about you — and keeping on walking."
Fuck you, Alex Jones; fuck you sideways with a bastard rasp.
Sincerely, your victim Margie Fancypants.
Thank you, The Onion.
Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Preposterous sunglasses are self-justifying purchases.

These ludicrous examples are from the inimitable Paper Bag Princess Op Shop. If you're in Wellington, go there and give them your money. It'll be worth it.

Trans people are awesome, in the fullest sense of the word. We possess the vision to imagine the greatest possible version of ourselves — and the audacity to realise it.

We aren't confused; quite the opposite.

There are few things crueler than Queer people violating the ideals of our community to demean, harass, ostracise a powerless community member.

Reading Sophie's story was frighteningly familiar to me.

There is no shortcut to fundamental justice.

ParallaxNick is an excellent science commentator. The algorithm is being cruel to this video; this is entirely unjust.

Hypatia led a remarkable life, and a horrifying death, as a philosopher woman in the blazingly misogynistic Greek society.

I just saw a clip of Bernie Sanders talking. The camera cut to a crowd shot, including a sign reading "NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR"... but thanks to lucky positioning of someone's head it was partly occluded and appeared to read

NO WAR BUT ASS WAR

Got a fantastical makeover yesterday at the CubaDupa Festival, by Wētā Workshop and BodyFX, had an amazing day, and brought smiles to so many faces!

I said to a vendor, "CubaDupa is great because it really brings out the Welly in Welly!"

Special mention to the punk band Bin Day, you rock, grrrrls!

## A Little Story
Three years ago, right about now, I walked into my local Jean-Coutu pharmacy, and picked up a neonatal pack for my last baby, and an HRT starter pack for me. It was the most family medicine order ever.

You should have seen the look on the pharmacist's face. It was classic. 😊
