HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new dual-action antibiotic that could make bacterial resistance nearly impossible. Macrolones can work two different ways- either by interfering with protein production or corrupting DNA structure! 🧪🧵⬇️

TTRPG designers should NOT keep their tips and tricks as secrets. They gain nothing by doing that. By encouraging and helping new designers enter the field, we can benefit from the fresh and exciting ideas they bring, and we can learn from them.

This, but for game design. I'm a perfectionist, and for a long time that was preventing me from getting my game ideas out of my head and down onto paper. I was too hung up on how the page LOOKED.

quick art tip for those who need it: stop putting so much value into your sketchbooks. meaning, don’t feel like every page has to have a “perfect” work or whatever. you’d be surprised how common this attitude is and it’s how people fall off from drawing regularly. it’s a sketchbook get fuckin’ messy

The woman is Carmit Katzir. Her father was killed during the 7 October attacks, and her mother and brother were taken hostage. She was arrested as the war criminal PM who has delayed a hostage deal in order to remain in power was allowed to give a speech to Congress. Future historians won’t be kind.
