🚨DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS IS TODAY Hey all, please take a moment to submit your comments opposing the removal of gender-affirming care as an essential health benefit in the Affordable Care Act, which provides necessary care to an enormous number of trans people across the country. Lives are at stake.

@compostwitch.bsky.social My jam! Is it also yours?

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

good job colossal

Keep this genocidal motherfucker off Indigenous lands and away from Indigenous people. He's already killed too many.

If you think about it it’s kind of bleakly funny. When the money is good they strangle us with it (constant attempts to squeeze margin cheapening goods and demeaning labor). When the money is bad they strangle us with it (prices skyrocketing, jobs lost, threats to extract under compensated labor).

there can be only one #comic

Do I know anyone in Minneapolis who wants cats AND DOESN'T already have cats? My friend Jason found a random cat outside and didn't know she was FELV+ and pregnant... Now she has two very darling 8 week old kittens who probably have it but who need a loving home... Please DM!

A friend and colleague was telling me about the corner our old university is in due to their massive Gov investment, and ever since I’ve been thinking about Mass Effect 3. Specifics vary depending on your choices in previous games, but by and large the plot consists of the long-predicted (1/3)

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Colossal didn't make a dire wolf. This is not a dire wolf! Stop saying it is!! I feel like I'm going mad!!!

Wings’ artistry is incredible with all the stones he selects, but his turquoise pieces stand out even so. His graceful and exacting details on the silver make the glimmering webs of blue and green into something almost otherworldly. But still solid and approachable enough for semi casual fits!

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

" They see a book on a shelf and assume the author is doing just fine, secure, paid, successful. They don’t see the unpaid hours, the exhaustion, the reality that most authors earn less than minimum wage for years of work."

This is why the media’s credulous boosterism for Colossal is so dangerous. “Innovation, not regulation” is tech-bro propaganda. It’s the false promise that any problem can be solved with some future breakthrough that will enable the same people who got us into this to profit from the solutions.

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

When are the people who said nothing while student protestors were attacked for their free speech last year going to admit they made a catastrophic mistake? That would actually be useful. Weaken their rhetorical tools. Admit you made a huge fucking mistake

You should get my bean boxes because they are experiential education about beans 🫘 you literally can’t get anywhere else bc our society is a husk of reality, like that episode of SeaQuest DSV set in the future But also for the same comparative products I’m cheaper (at least for the moment)

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

We hang together or we hang separately. Could not be clearer what is happening and how universities must respond.

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6
