🖼 People loved it so much they used it in wallpaper, artificial plants, book bindings, children's toys, paint, and so many other things.

⚰️ The only bummer about Scheele’s green was that it was super toxic because it contained arsenic. It could cause body sores, severe illness, and death. ☹️

You've heard of The Colour Out of Space, now get ready for green.

🟩 Specifically the deadly Scheele’s green. Scheele’s green was a beautiful and very dangerous  pigment that was nonetheless incredibly popular in the early to mid-19th century.
🎨 Unlike other pigments, it was vivid and cheap, and wouldn't fade into a dull vomity grey.

🌿👒 Scheele’s green showed up during what I would call a Victorian Era cottagecore trend, where people were romanticizing nature and botanical palettes.

400 million years ago the Tiktaalik decided to walk out of the water and now I have to create a "personal brand" for my LinkedIn page

This week I left a job without anything else lined up. There's a limit to what I'm willing to tolerate, and my former company's leadership went well beyond it. It's a scary freefall now, but I'm proud I stood up to our CEO on behalf of my team, and bummed I had to end it like this.

Hey mastodon! A very good friend of mine is looking for a job in climate and/or geospatial analysis. Any leads out there would be great!!

I'm sorry, were any of you planning on telling me there used to be a species of penguin that was 6'7" (2m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (115kg) called Mega Penguin or was I supposed to just find that out on my own
