This is not actually a subtweet of anything specific right now, but I do want to make a plea to everyone to a) attribute and link to the source of any information you're sharing b) only share posts that do so. This isn't (just) about credit, it's about creating a chain of custody for information.

Trying to figure out what's wrong with my plants is the most I sympathize with straight men trying to figure out why their girlfriend is mad at them. Am I giving you too much attention? Not enough attention? JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED.

I asked the old punk how we will get through this, and he replied: we will get through this by taking care of each other. So I told the old punk that isn’t very specific, and he replied: taking care of each other isn’t about doing something specific, it’s about doing something.

This is the weaponization of the supermom myth--the idea that kids are under threat and that the only way to keep them safe is for moms to sacrifice themselves (i.e., by spending hours researching to keep kids safe from vaccines, rather than trusting the government to keep kids safe from measles).

I remember the first time I posted a video like this a bunch of older scientists took to Twitter to make fun of me for being too informal. If only they realized it’s videos like this that actually reach young people and that science communication is meant for the public — not other scientists!

Listen, now, RIGHT NOW, there are baby privet trees and ivy vines; roiling piles of creeping Charlie and purple deadnettle; and hairy bittercress rosettes with deep taproots and malicious intent. Go forth and take your pound of vegetative flesh. Your kilo. Your ton.

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
