I know we all know this but it’s always so important to remember that transphobes who claim to fight for women’s equality generally proceed from the belief that women are inferior to men across the board they wouldn’t treat trans women like they had cheat codes if they respected cis women’s skills!

as corporations cancel their donations to pride and juneteenth celebrations, let us not forget that philanthropy is mostly just a tax shelter and we should actually just raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy

I think even well-meaning people outside of the sectors that have been directly targeted by the Trump/Musk junta don't really understand that for those of us *inside* of them, almost everyone we know has been rendered suddenly unemployed (or terrifyingly close to it) since January.

Anyway, the world is melting and my future is uncertain at best, but I still have my marigolds to peer at. I've really been enjoying them this year.

Queerness exists in nature. Take it from the artist that illustrated hundreds of examples of it.

I don't think trying to reach the right wingers is actually anyone's goal. Explicitly, all the efforts I've seen to try to salvage science funding have been appeals to disengaged voters, not conservatives: trying new ways to reach new audiences in, admittedly, a time of desperation.

“Democrats can say what they want about me, but I would have absolutely called the shooter a Marxist and made tasteless digs at Gov. Walz had my loved ones recently been killed in cold blood,” said Mike Lee theonion.com/mike-le...

Yay! @genomeofforrest.bsky.social work published today in PLoS Genetics. Forrest took a large maize common garden dataset and asked whether Environmental GWAS was actually useful for predicting which individuals would have highest fitness. Turns out, the answer is no. 1/2

Working with @wildcognition.bsky.social on this paper was so much fun: drawing from our research with mammals (primates & hyenas) we discuss to what extent the urban niche poses novel cognitive challenges or whether they are exapted to exploit urban resources link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Sneaky salmon? Gay frogs? Scientists studying animal behavior have long projected specific cultural norms and values onto animals — and that, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer argue, can lead us badly astray. HEAT DEATH is proud to publish an extended excerpt of their new book, FEMINISM IN THE WILD!

More democratic senators are saying they haven't seen the part of the bill outlawing gender affirming care for trans people on medicaid/medicare. HERE'S A SCRIPT FOR YOU WITH SPECIFICS ON WHERE IT IS. Call your reps and point their eyeballs directly to SECTION 71117

This, 100% this. A key part of life is being able to look at an unfamiliar problem and *figure out how to solve it*. Maybe through tinkering or knowing how to find someone with *genuine* expertise to help, but the ability to say "okay, what do I need to do to figure this out" is valuable in itself!

Mr. Simon is categorically wrong when he says it is much harder to call out bad behavior one one's own side than on the side of the right. On the left, criticism is often practically invited--you get effuse apologies and promises to do better. On the right? You maybe get shot in your goddamn home.

in general I am done with the laser focus on Sarah McBride. the woman's terrified that any pushback will make the backlash worse, she's almost certainly drowning in harassment which won't help, and she's under one hell of a massive spotlight. freezing is not an ideal reaction but is understandable.

"But too often, we find ourselves pushed to the margins of our own movements by white “allies” who want to lead without listening, critique without context, and burn bridges in the name of ideological purity." They also get too busy policing us and what we're doing...IGNORING WHAT THEY ARE DOING

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.
