Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Jessie and Kelly are wearing hula skirts and bikini tops. They are in the act of dancing, and both have tentative expressions on their faces (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “Women are made to feel that we aren’t safe and that, in fact, we might feel that we’ll be safe if we acknowledge flaws, if we have an assumption of vulnerability.”

Friends, I have such a strange favor to ask:  This post is part of a project I’m doing for a course called Social Media Analysis for my master’s in library and information science at the University of Maryland. My assignment is to reach upwards of 10,000 points of engagement for the post, as a way to show how information spreads, how ideas take hold, and how voices are heard. 

Can you help spread this little gem to the corners of the internets? I can’t give you anything in return other than more memes. <3

The problem, in one picture.

I never realized until seeing this picture that my interpretation of an average size woman has become REALLY SKEWED oh my god I wanna cry

It took this picture for me to realize that I’m actually of average size

So.

The Sound of Silence is probably one of my favorite songs ever. When speaking of the “true” Simon and Garfunkel version (as opposed to the version where they added background music to in post to make it more “pop radio”), it’s a song that gives me chills.

Disturbed is not a band that I really enjoy. I remember in college, my (now) wife gave me a copy of a Disturbed CD, because she had two for some reason. I tried to listen to it, I really did. Didn’t do anything for me.

But this? Holy fuck, this is stunning. This is amazing.

This gives me chills.

Holy shit, you have to listen to the whole sing. 

I have chills. 

Holy SHIT.

This is the band who did “Down With The Sickness”????

UM?????

If you stop before three minutes you’re missing the truly mind-blowing bit

I’m almost angry about how good this is

Today I learned that the university of Coimbra in Portugal has a great 18th-century library, the Biblioteca Joanina, that maintains a colony of bats to effectively control the population of paper-eating insects called papirófagos. These bats are less than an inch long. They roost during the day behind the bookcases and come out at night. There doesn’t seem to be any English word for papirófago, a cursory search turns up no details about what sort of insect they are, and ngl I am slightly concerned about them as a phenomenon. But I think my overarching point here is clear: 

This library keeps tiny bats that look after the books.

I’m here for tiny bats saving books.

Aaaahhh!!
