I was this many years old when I discovered a vent slit in the back of the freezer that lets cold air into the refrigerator and that’s how fridges work.

Female inventors have played a large role in U.S. history, but haven’t always received credit
 for their work. Besides the fact that their contributions have sometimes been downplayed over overlooked, women—particularly women of color—have historically had fewer resources to apply for U.S. patents and market their inventions.

In the small town of Torekov, Sweden there is a community ritual of going to the local pier (“Morgonbryggan”) to take a morning dip in the sea. Does that sound too chilly or perfectly refreshing to you?

(Check out Peggy Anderson’s photo art series that brought attention to the fun bathrobes and social rituals involved in this unique morning routine.)

“Fika” is the Swedish custom of taking a break to enjoy a snack, a hot drink, and some relaxing company. The concept is a broad mindset that prioritizes the heathy need to slow down for social refreshment each day.
I hope you enjoy a nice Fika today.

Talley Abbet in Carmarthenshire. This was the only abbey in Cymru built for the ‘White Canon’ monks in 1180. Lack of funds meant it was never completed.

Haven't done in a minute bc was trying to survive grad school but here go a new one!

The first successful recorded c-section (where both mother and child survived) was operated by an illiterate Irish midwife named Mary Dunally in 1738.

Note: I specify that she was illiterate because surgeons and doctors made midwives out to be ignorant and unsuited for their occupations--but maybe their standards of knowledge are not the ones we should uplift.

For this Friday’s , I have the increasingly well-known fact (Due to Fiona & Fritz’s education endeavors) that Hippopotamuses can’t float or swim. They just walk on the bottom of the riverbed & kick off to reach the top!

Hippos are not a particular interest of mine, but for some reason this prompt makes me forget every fact I’ve ever known & desperately wanted to share!!!

- there were originally going to be other kinds of creatures in the furby line, like fish and snakes
- the 2 furby creators fight for who invented it. capitalism is a disease
- a yeti animatronic swinging from a Disney ride quickly began to rip the construction apart
- there is 1 remaining Chuck E Cheese with performing animatronics
- I Think one of the splash mountain robotics engineers has & takes care of the decommissioned bots but don't quote me
