"Science is a bind on unrestricted power. It confronts those with a certain worldview with an obstacle to the progress of their aims." Think Galileo ... think inquisition.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

There’s zero evidence that prayer in schools improves grades, but one study found that kids who were fed in schools scored 17.5% higher test scores on math tests. Make it make sense GOP liars and deceivers with your evil budget. #FoodForThought

I developed a killer workshop on commonly made mistakes in evaluating evidence in sexual violence cases. And I want to take it more places. If you work with survivors in any capacity—including as a journalist or academic who writes about these issues—I would absolutely love to share this with you.

This is very much like the audience for Playboy magazine in the late 1960s, and for intriguingly resonant reasons.

It is my understanding that a member of Congress still faces frivolous felony charges and that this has somehow gotten lost track of in the news cycle. It does still seem important. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

So much this. Especially in workshop settings, I've often found that critiques assume writers only know what isn't working--it's very useful to hear what is! AND it's a good skill to learn to articulate what works and your idea of why. Negatives are always easier to express.

Self-promo post: A specific thing I'm good at is editing English writing by native French speakers. I know what to look for in terms of syntax and grammar, and I will catch those faux amis and know what you meant! I also specialize in editing French-to-English translations.
