theyre weird and beautiful and smart and change colour. I loved them anyway and then I read Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life and I loved them even more, as well as other intelligent cephalopods like colour changing cuttle fish. Learning about how they change colour, essentially evolving two different types of biological pixels in their skin, is unbelievable. It doesn’t sound real, its like real life magic.

🤓being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
