When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed. “Do they expect students not to be anarchists?” he said. “What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up”

I just texted the grad student that was primarily responsible for me not getting fired when I was deep in my pre/post ADHD dx depression/anxiety/shame spiral (extremely Not Employable) to ask if I could call and catch up and express my thanks and I'm now feeling anxiety like I've not felt since 2022

We don't live in a serious country. We live in a cokehead capitalist hellscape.

Another dumb gross irony here is Harvey Milk served in the Navy and Donald Trump's Navy secretary didn't www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Prasad says he has never met RFK Jr. when asked why Secretary doesn't want research published in certain journals. he says one of Kennedy's issue is he wants govt papers publicly available - someone in audience yells out this has been policy for 20 years.

It's Mechanical Turks, all the way down

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

saw a tiktok of a guy saying he couldn't believe real couches cost $600+. comments saying "bro a decent couch costs at least $1k". neither is technically wrong but boy do I have bad news for them........

My God this is one of the most horrific stories of homophobic murder I've ever read. His poor husband. Reposted with alt text.

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

Im laid back but one thing I do think is an abomination is when people genderbend only one character in a queer ship to make it m/f (never you, t4t. Sit back down, t4t. I wasn't talking about you, t4t). That shit is bizarre to me. If I wanted to read m/f shit I would not be here, at the yaoi factory

I don't think every single cop is a psycho who just wants to commit their crimes with impunity, but I do think if I were a psycho who wanted to commit crimes with impunity, cop would be my first choice career to do that from.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I Just wanted to let you know that I went to my daughter's highschool art show yesterday and to say your book had an influence on her would be an understatement. Her name is Samantha and we both love you and Hank and support you and your work wherever we can. #DFTBA

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

The Senate is considering a bill to spend money on “TruBLOC,” a “fentanyl-neutralizing spray” for law enforcement, which is actually just an Axe bodyspray canister that sprays orange latex on drugs to prevent “powder form fentanyl (from) exploding” bc they think LEOs are ODing on fentanyl in the air

I'm finally reading books again and am currently reading The Anthropocene Reviewed. Read the Harvey chapter today and bawled my eyes out in the bathroom at work.

The chest x-ray use pioneered by Alan Hart continues to be extremely important in screening for tuberculosis. Although no one accomplishes anything in isolation, I'd argue that Hart has helped saved MILLIONS of lives because chest x-rays have been so essential in driving down rates of TB globally.

receiving no primary care & urgent care of varying quality and fractured continuity is bad enough when someone is seeing physicians, and much of the time they're not even getting that. imagine the only medical care a child getting being from random diploma mill private equity owned urgent care NPs 😬

So many amazing medical advancements have been made in just the past 50 years that today we have little memory of what life was like before things like vaccines and fluoride. These assholes are determined to bring us all back there with them.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

We were likely years away from making HIV a thing of the past. Humanity triumphing over one of its worst diseases Instead we'll live in a world where people continue getting sick because of a greedy few who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes

The NASA planetary science fleet chart if the president’s budget is enacted.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

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.

What could they have meant by this

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

AI isn’t fundamentally reshaping society, and it’s deeply frustrating to see even its opponents parroting this phrase. If the MAHA fake-citation scandal shows us anything it’s that “AI” is a rhetorical device an alibi allowing a powerful minority to remake society w impunity for their own benefit.

I commented on a post from the "does anyone else not talk to their baby" lady saying that someone driving a 2017? Range Rover can definitely afford to replace their gas range with induction for the health of their infant and I got blocked lmao

"let copilot help you draft" "can gemini write that for you" I have now taken the only reasonable course of action in the circumstances
