Indigenous Olmec head crushes a Tesla. This is the inspired work of Hidalguen sculptor Chavis Mármol

I’m really debating whether I even want to finish my bachelor’s at Ohio State because I would find it embarrassing to have it on my diploma. I’m already there. If they decide to enforce the pee pee rules or the anti-deia stuff, I’m transferring.

A bold choice for someone whose uni just went viral for extremely embarrassing pee pee jail reasons

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

I am so sick of seeing local white owning class farmers act like martyrs because they aren’t getting grants. I cannot read that foxtrot farm post one more time. It’s bullshit!

truly incredible

Modamare 2025!!

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

What’s wrong, babe? You haven’t touched your Eggo-brand alcoholic Appalachian sippin’ cream

Toad put his head very close to the ground and shouted, “NOW SEEDS, START GROWING!”

The City of Boston is leading 40+ mayors, cities, and counties in an amicus brief against the Trump Administration's drastic and illegal cuts to federal research funding—cuts that will lead to immediate job losses nationwide.

My parent let me & my child live in shelter when we were in between housing - Not evicted just in between. Found out my sister & her bf now living in parent’s home because “housing is expensive.” They really let their grandkid go homeless but let some guy live there because he is fucking my sister.

my god

Wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs is on the version of hitting $8, per USDA data.

lmfao holy shit we're reaching new levels of "fuck the yanks"

excited today to visit with a family member who said they were voting for rfk jr for president and then we basically did not speak for months because what are you supposed to say to someone like that? I feel like I do not need to explain further.

ATTENDING MEETING WITH BEARD.

Current* conditions near Mackinaw City, MI:

The US Census Bureau didn't need to make their logo for their TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) data so cool but they still did

This paper really resonates: "reduced income, increased financial, emotional and cognitive labour, and internalised responsibility – show the financial and mental burden that falls on mothers while conveying a sense that the resulting pressure is a personal, rather than societal, failure" ⬇️

forgot how good this was theonion.com/historians-p...

the rfk stuff is deeply trolling because we don’t need to reinvent public health but also because this admin just cut all the research and data but also because trauma isn’t addressed even one time. The fact that people are taking the rfk word salad EO at face value instead of propaganda is bullshit

OK, this is amazing- "Gustavo Cañas-Valle, an ornithologist and birding guide, stumbled across a cave full of hummingbirds nesting and roosting together in Ecuador’s High Andes." Written by @rachelnuwer.bsky.social #birds #nature 🌿🪶🦉🧪

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

The American College of OB/GYN’s website is now hosting the critical documents purged by the CDC This is what every professional medical organization should be doing right now #MedSky www.acog.org/clinical/cli...

Hear this: the fact they cut out some survivors so easily means they have *already* betrayed other types of survivors organizationally behind the scenes. Ideologically and ethically, you cannot say you support abuse survivors, and then turn around and do this. Not another cent and not another share.

I would like to recommend The Network/ La Red www.tnlr.org/en/ as an alternative. This censorship won’t protect RAINN et al. when the abusers who currently run the USA gov’t inevitably cut funding.

60 years of progress in expanding rights is being rolled back by Trump − a pattern that’s all too familiar in US history

The global South is leading in keeping us all safe. 1.Rwanda &Tanzania contained marburg outbreaks 2.Uganda is fighting Ebola 3. DRC is fighting #mpox Knowledge can flow from the global South to North. With CDC EIS gutted, consider Africa CDC's AES www.globalsouthopportunities.com/2025/02/17/a...

Not only did the National Park Service remove references to transgender history on the Stonewall website, it appears they are now editing the work of historians without their knowledge or consent.

Saw this video, thought it was a nice way to start the day

How did the Reconstruction Amendments affect the mobility + citizenship of Black Americans, Native Americans, Chinese immigrants, & European immigrants? In a crisp 28 pages, I explain. Last & final article before the full book is out in 2026. @gracemallon.bsky.social @conniethomas.bsky.social
