I changed all my webfonts to a font meant for people with dyslexia and it’s legitimately made things easier to read. For whatever reason, I seem to skip lines less with this font which is something I do all the time (and reread the same line over and over again). So, I guess this font can help you even if you don’t have dyslexia… or it’s all in my head. FUCK YEAH, PLACEBO EFFECT!

So so so beautiful art.
Critique #2 of North America:
It’s been really shy so far about showing predation. I understand that some people may find it upsetting, but it’s something that I always thought was beautiful in its own way. It’s just nature. This is a nature documentary. Show us nature.
EDIT: Nevermind. They just showed a pretty cool shot of bald eagles hunting snow geese and didn’t cut out the second the talons hit the birds AND there was a shot before that with a red fox hunting that even mentioned the new stuff about them using the Earth’s magnetic field to help aim their snow dives WHICH IS AWESOME.
So I’m happy now. I should stop complaining.
OK, so, I’m watching the new ‘North America’ series and I can tell you right now that the faux-western vernacular is going to piss me off before it’s all over. I guess the narrator is trying to channel Walter Cronkite and failing miserably. It’s just weird because he’s doing this Giada De Laurentiis thing where he drops in and out of the accent.
Other than that, it’s been a good series so far. I really like the animations they use. The shots are, of course, amazing. The animals are awesome. Really, the narration isn’t that bad; I’m just being bitchy about it.

I’m reading this and I’m thinking, “So, I should study and then go play video games so I don’t confuse myself. I can do that.”:

OK, so if you haven’t seen the last episode of Dr. Who for this season, stop reading.

A few months back, a small twitter hashtag got kind of crazy - #overlyhonestmethods
Its a hashtag full of scientists admitting shortcuts in research, along with the daily face palms and annoyances of a scientific lifestyle. Science is hard, yo.
I decided to steal some of the more popular tweets from the trending hashtag along with some random images of scientists from Google image search and combine them. This is the result. it works, I think.

I HAVE SO MUCH HATE FOR PAYWALLS.
Real talk: There’s a step in my extraction protocol that I run at a lower than recommended RPM because those damn centrifuges are terrifying.

Yeah, so, after seeing what the line of storms that’s going to pass through here over the next few days is capable of, I’m really glad I chose to wait until next week to lay out traps.
This is apparently in San Antonio and I’d so waste a day to go see it if I still lived in Austin:

I think I sort of love these shadow chandelier things because this is the second time I’ve posted something like this.
Boycott of Vaccine Causes Measles Surge a Decade Later
More than a decade ago, British parents refused to give measles shots to at least a million children because of a vaccine scare that raised the specter of autism. Now, health officials are scrambling to catch up and stop a growing epidemic of the contagious disease.
This year, the U.K. has had more than 1,200 cases of measles, after a record number of nearly 2,000 cases last year. The country once recorded only several dozen cases every year. It now ranks second in Europe, behind only Romania.
