Twitter is the social media site I mourn the most. Public health Twitter was so massively helpful as an undergraduate/graduate student in the field. It was a phenomenal conglomeration of research about our ongoing pandemics; many users didn’t transfer to bluesky. How do I fill this gap in knowledge?

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining. We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines. It's great, I love it.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.

the balancing act of believing: 1)people need to be as informed as possible 2)that this agenda feeds off having the most outlandish shocking headlines ever 3)understanding that people also need to protect their mentals 4) but if people just move on like this is normal that means we accept it

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily. All are insurrectionists. We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I’m sorry about TikTok, I know it was really important to a lot of people. It’s hard to lose a thing you really like and it’s also really hard to hope someone gross will save something

They absolutely buried TikTok in a Pet Sematary because what was resurrected was NOT what was laid to rest. We’re about to find out that sometimes dead is better, real quick.
