I wonder if there’s a generational downturn in handwriting legibility or speed because when I was growing up you had to write all your assignments by hand and you f your handwriting sucked the teacher would be like “I can’t read this shit go rewrite it.” do kids in school these days type up / electronically submit almost all their assignments now? starting when? I think things were starting to switch over into typing up essays n stuff in high school, but there were still no laptops allowed at school. we only used computers in the library or at home. so i always took notes and such in by hand and I still do. the younger people I know often say my handwriting is good and i don’t know if that’s a broad phenomenon or if my handwriting is just more legible than i think it is. also do they still make you learn/write in cursive as a kid?

Colleague A at the queer scientist mixer: “….so before I knew I was a lesbian, I was always into bishounen. It’s part of the process —”

Colleague B: “….what’s a bishounen?”

Greek chorus of other queer scientists who are all 30 or 40 years old: [simultaneously jump in to offer assorted definitions of androgynous prettyboy anime guys, at increasing volume]

Colleague B, hopefully, after a lengthy and considerate pause: “…oh, like Hisoka? From HunterXHunter?”

There’s a new litter of coyote pups hanging out in the Graceland cemetery in Chicago. They are learning how to coyote.

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.
