Ugh, I hate the move to unhealthy time, both the acute and long term effects. Healthy brains need light to wake up and darkness at night to sleep well. 😴 I wrote about it here👇 nwnoggin.org/2021/02/21/o... #scicomm #sleep #ditchDST

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know why Bluesky will add hyperlinks to random words in my posts/replies for no reason? For some reason, they turned the word “repressed” into a link, and I can’t really edit it now.

If you aren’t actively standing up for trans rights, I’d better not ever see you quoting “First They Came”, because this is your chance to speak out, and history is just just repeating itself instead.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
