It's September 20th. 💡 On this day in 1848, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) convened its first meeting. Eighty-seven members attended. Their original mission was to promote intercourse between people committed to cultivating science in different parts of the country, to give a stronger and more general impulse and more systematic direction to scientific research, and to procure increased facilities and a wider range of usefulness for the labors of scientists.
William C. Redfield, a saddle- and harness-maker, meteorologist, geologist, and promoter of railway and steamship development, was elected the association's first president. During its first dozen years of existence, more than 2,000 people joined AAAS, including writer Henry David Thoreau and ex-US President Millard Fillmore. In 1850, AAAS admitted its first female member, astronomer Maria Mitchell of Massachusetts.
In 1883, thanks in part to funding from Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, AAAS published its flagship journal, "Science." Nowadays, "Science" is the largest paid circulation of all peer-reviewed general science journals in the world, with an estimated one million readers. Its mission now reads "to advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people." AAAS currently has more than 120,000 members in 91 countries around the world, serving 10 million scientists in fields ranging from anthropology to zoology. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
I want to ensure the most thorough results as possible so I’m doing the poll again with more specific options!
Sharing is Caring
If we could reach the same number of respondents (1,981) as last time or MORE that would be important! Second time is the charm folks, please repost, repost, repost!!
Why?
For those wondering what this is going towards, I am going to write about the connection between kink and monster fucking in my study about all things erotic monsters! With how prevalent the breeding kink is I thought why the hell not start there lmao
Another new book from Abrams. We’ve gotten to the point in publishing where, if you’re like me and like large-format art books, you need to get used to the idea of buying them when they are released. Fewer and fewer publishers are taking the risk of releasing art books, and they are staying in print for shorter and shorter periods of time. So, when I heard about this book, I made a point of getting myself a copy, and I’m glad I did. While my preference in vintage book cover art leans more toward the pulp era, it is the 70s covers that I find myself the most familiar and nostalgic. Featuring some all-time greats—Frazetta, Vallejo, Elson, Emshwiller, Mead, the Dillons, et al—and divided into subject categories such as spaceships, cities and landscapes, plants, animals, aliens, fantasy realms, and cryptozoology, this is a beautiful and very welcome look at an incredibly creative, experimental, and occasionally ridiculous sci-fi decade.
Hawaii is moving closer to Alaska by 7.5cm every year
Yes! This is caused by tectonic plates which are in constant motion, driven by currents that rise and fall under them.
Hawaii remains in the center of the Pacific plate and every year due to this constant motion, Hawaii is slowly and steadily heading to the North American platform, back to Alaska.
snow saying “it’s the thing we love the most that destroy us” like katniss didnt just take the song that holds his fondest memories with the one girl he loved and turned it into the soundtrack of his downfall 😭😭 gurl
Bibliophiles, watch out: You might spot this critter crawling across your page the next time you're reading. Also known as “book scorpions,” pseudoscorpions are tiny arachnids that feed on booklice and dust mites… which can often be found in the pages of old books. Pseudoscorpions range in size from a mere .08 in (2 mm) to .31 in (8 mm) and are harmless to humans. While they have scorpion-like pincers, they lack the stinger of true scorpions.
