THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE! Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here's how we would've spent that $$: Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year. Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfu0 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

All of this and it's also worth noting that mortality rates from hypertensive disorders are far greater among non-pregnant people of repro age relative to pregnant people. This is a story that goes far beyond our healthcare systems and I'm tired of folks' reductionist takes on this complex problem.

scientists suddenly seeing science is political

American science and medicine has been thrown into chaos and uncertainty over the past week. Here are some stories to get up to speed. 1/12

This is actually full of good reporting on casualization of UKHE at even the most prestigious institutions. And the fact that the Observer pressed Christ Church directly on ad wording, and then reported on the college's sidestepping is nothing short of astonishing.

I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

Hey professors, I'm helping a lot of students write ✨personal statements✨ for PhD programs... what is the number one thing you look for in a personal statement? and what should students steer clear of when writing these? #neuroskyence #academia

There's been interest in making community-based feeds that work like Blacksky - Add/remove your whole account or just one post - Block ppl from seeing the feed entirely - Apply automated/manual rules for removing content - Prevent bad actors from adding themselves I hear you! 1/?

ICE has 20,000 agents. The only way they'll deport millions of people is with the help of software. If you work for a company that's selling their tools to help ICE do this work, you should leak to reporters what's going on.

this kind of ableist fuckery ("schizophrenic") to describe the highly logical way people vote about local things they understand as immediately relevant (abortion) vs. how they vote on federal politics (mostly fantasies about being or becoming rich) is wildly useless

🎶Five hundred men sacked for refusing to ever cross a picket line The voices down the ages warning "never cross a picket line" You must never cross a picket line🎶

Airlines in the United States are now required to give passengers cash refunds if their flight is significantly delayed or canceled, even if that person does not explicitly ask for a refund. cnn.it/3NGS0lE

A work-release program for Alabama provides labor for companies and income for the state. Unpaid labor for inmates is still allowed in Alabama and other states. Lawsuits are challenging its constitutionality. Lawyers are alo asking the UN to investigate prisons in Alabama and Louisiana. Gift link!

Times Higher Ed has a column today about getting rid of accommodations for students with disabilities. It is breathtakingly ableist. It argues for the exclusion of people with disabilities from higher ed. I am not linking: it's click bait, but you can see the opening paragraph below.

Natural climate solutions can take up carbon ... and enhance biodiversity, filter water, protect coastlines and more. They don't require energy and the costs of setting them up are quite reasonable compared to current technological carbon capture options. Diving a bit deeper into the science ...

Welcome to bluesky, this cat is adorable and has now coined the term "litterbox fabric" which is GREAT for the sensation of an uncomfortable sweater.

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Cats are cute but when they yawn, they look so terrifying, I love it

"The unprecedented reporting of the BBC… are to credit for these monumental arrests. This was the result of impressive investigative journalism.” www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you are thinking about how to resist mass deportations, I would read and think about how Latino activists on the ground resisted Joe Arpaio. www.hcn.org/articles/boo...

Hello old friends and new Bluesky users! I've rambled up a bunch of things that took me a while to learn about this site that I hope might be useful to others. I'll link to some of my favorite Moderation Lists, Labelers and Feeds in the comments. Other Bluesky oldies - please share your tips too!
