They're slicin' up HM's brain today!
Follow this link: http://thebrainobservatory.ucsd.edu/hm_live.php to see HM's brain get all sliced up by a microtome! It's very exciting - they're doing the hippocampus today, which should be neat.

It's not just one day.
Remembering our trans sisters and brothers who have been killed is not something that should only happen one day a year. It's something we should do every time we hear about a person being dehumanized, degendered, assaulted, or harassed because s/he is trans. Because every 'it' or 'tranny' joke, every 'she's REALLY a he', contributes to a culture where trans people are abused and killed in obscene numbers.
I hope you take some time to remember.
RIP.

Water has an enthalpy of condensation of about 539 calories per gram.
Better known as: steam will burn the fuck out of your hand.
To rephrase: You must go read this awesome cooking blog.
