More wins! We just killed an"abortion trafficking" bill, which would have created a new crime targeting any woman traveling through Montana while seeking abortion care. Dems are fighting like hell over here in Montana. We're seeing a ton of bad bills, so it's always good when we get a win.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

my plan to throw coffee beans at houses instead of eggs has been foiled

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I'm not a people person, I'm a person person. One (1) people at a time please, reservations are required in advance and we do NOT take walk-ins

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job. So I have decided to leave the Washington Post” — Ann Telnaes, after drawing this cartoon, which included the image of a supplicant Jeff Bezos

my least favorite part of baking cookies is scooping the little dough balls out of the ice cream

As a food writer I feel it's important to report that sometimes the solution to your problems is eating as much mac and cheese as physically possible

I’m just a girl, standing in front of a coffee pot, waiting for it to make the magic potion.

One wild aspect of elected office is way Republicans use LGBTQ politicians as a confessional booth. Nearly every day in the Montana House, Republicans would apologize for their votes, tell me they wish the culture war would move on, etc. But rarely would they actually change their vote.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

The porphyrins in Northern Saw-whet Owl feathers glow under UV light. They degrade over time, so older feathers glow less intensely than new feathers. This bird has a clear molt limit between old juvenile feathers and new basic feathers, meaning she was born last summer!

How does one become uninformed, like are there classes I can take?

Yeah same 😂

I regret to inform you that I do sometimes judge a book by its cover.

The House Ethics Committee should release the Matt Gaetz report. Repost if you agree.
