Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that!

“make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session.”

Not sure if I've told this story here before, but once upon a time, I didn't really get the point of most protests happening my area because I viewed them as "preaching to your own echo chamber" in a lot of cases. Ex: I saw people do a climate march through a very liberal university campus within a very liberal city, and I was just like "Okay, everyone here agrees with you. This place has crazy aggressive sustainability goals. What is the point of this?"

Then when Roe fell, there were a lot of protests outside the courthouses in cities near me, and though those city courthouses do serve the surrounding rural areas as well, the cities themselves are all rather progressive and left-leaning, so once again I was like "Okay, what is the point of this?" but I went anyway just for the experience. We stood on a street corner with our signs. Most people driving by honked in agreement with us. A few people yelled "abortion is murder" at us out their car windows, and we yelled back "abortion is healthcare!" Cool, okay, still didn't get the point because it's not like we were changing any minds or there in large numbers (we were no threat to any power structures), and the city already largely agreed with us.

But then we got another SUV that pulled up and yelled "abortion is murder!" at us (both husband and wife this time). Looked in the back seat, and they were traveling with their daughter who was maybe 13ish. She locked eyes with me, gave me the most serious look I've ever received, and gave us a thumbs up just above the window ledge so that her family couldn't see.

And that's the day I learned that protests are not always about threatening entrenched power structures but letting people in isolated ideological bubbles know that there are other perspectives and that if they share them, they're not alone.

i imagine el would really like history class.

she hears all the time about things that happened while she was in the lab, things she never even knew were going on because she was too busy serving as a machine for a man who never loved her. after a while she gets bored, embarrassed, and exasperated by having to ask for clarification every time an event she doesn't know about is brought up in conversation, so she just hopes joyce will nicely explain it to her when she gets home.

but in history class, her teacher tells stories of epic wars and political marriages and complex societies that existed way, way before anyone in the class was born. all of a sudden, for once in her life, el isn't different. she hasn't missed out on anything. she knows as little about the battle of hastings as does will, who sits next to her and doodles in his notebook. el writes almost everything down, even if she knows it won't be on the tests, which she almost always aces (except for the one on the middle ages, because frankly, serfdom wasn't particularly thrilling material). she becomes a total history buff after all the upside down stuff is over with, and once the internet is created, she spends all her evenings reading wikipedia articles and correcting them if they're wrong.
