feel better friend

These are very nice baby elephants. My pedantic side feels compelled to point out, though, that the middle one is an animatronic robot from Disney’s jungle cruise.

Storm Chasing on Saturn

This video is a short news video showing/explaining a storm on the north pole of Saturn bigger than four Earths in the shape of a hexagon. A storm on the north pole of Saturn, bigger than four Earths, in the shape of a hexagon. Oh also, it has alien aurorae glowing over it. The word “awesome” should be reserved for sights like this. The video also boasts impeccable sound design, limpid graphics, and a slam-dunk visual proof of how such a strange phenomenon could occur naturally. Take that, intelligent-design advocates.

This week’s picker is John Pavlus — a designer on the inside and a writer/filmmaker on the outside. He makes things that make things make sense for places like NPR, HHMI, Scientific American, Fast Company, Nautilus, and others.

thesciencestudio:

Getting across a visceral sense of climate change is one of the hardest problems in science writing. Daniel Crawford, an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota decided to use a tool that’s inherently visceral — music. He wrote “Song of a Warming Planet.” It’s a small thing, but with the incredible complexity of climate change it’s going to take a lot of very different ideas to help people understand the big picture.

Academy Award winning film, The King’s Speech.

I could definitely watch this one again. And the Lizzy/Darcy reunion scene is a big bonus.

northsails:

Kestrel, one of 14 famous Fishers Island 31s designed by Sidney Herreshoff, is a successful adaptation of Nat Herrshoff’s Newport 29 (1912). 

“The design started out in 1912 as the model for Nat Herreshoff’s centerboard daysailer Alerion, and that model, with ends extended on the mold loft floor, is what Sidney Herreshoff used in creating these wonderful boats. It was the work of great ingenuity, and there have been few all-around better designs ever produced.” From The Wizard of Bristol, by L. Francis Herreshoff, 1953.

rmangi:

I’ve marched plenty of times. I protested Iraq, toxic waste, Republicans… I could have watched football today but sometimes you march to pass on the experience and the knowledge that YOU CAN AND YOU MUST PARTICIPATE to the ones who are going to suffer if we don’t do something now. 

Quincy ran into a friend from school and we marched with her and her mom. They chanted, they cheered. They had an experience that lasts a lifetime. They were part of history.

Sunday, September 21st, 2014

flutish:

I was watching Emma Watson’s important speech on feminism and gender equality at the UN, and I decided to check her Wikipedia page to learn more about her work on the matter. Instead I found that more sentences have been given to the male-gaze magazines who have ranked Watson on the basis of her sex appeal (first appearing when underage) than for the work she has done to promote women and gender equality. More care to her looks than her humanitarian work.

Watch the speech. And take action in whatever way you can.

I looked (briefly) at the Wikipedia article and am having trouble finding what you’re referring to. I’m seeing roughly 10 sentences in the section on her women’s rights work versus 5 sentences on her appearance in the men’s magazines (2 in the intro and then 3 later on).

Regardless, you’re not limited to talking about it here on Tumblr if you feel the Wikipedia article is inappropriately balanced. You have everything you need to take action directly. Edit the Wikipedia article yourself to improve it. Or, if you don’t have an existing confirmed Wikipedia account that will allow you to make edits on a semi-protected page (which “Emma Watson” is), then propose the changes you wish to make on the article’s Talk page, and try to build consensus (which is a good idea anyway if you want your edits to persist).

Note that Wikipedia is not a platform for advocacy, and if you try to make it one you’ll be frustrated by other editors’ reverting your changes. But if you can make a case for the change you want in terms of Wikipedia’s actual values and goals (to be a neutral-point-of-view, accurate encyclopedia article), you’ve got a good shot.
