Google removing Black History month from their calendars WHILE we’re in the midst of Black History Month is vile behavior. They also removed Pride Month.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

As always, I wish we didn't need a day like this, but I feel we need it more than ever in current times. Representation matters! Whether it's representation of women or of other underrepresented groups. Science is better when it's diverse, never forget that.

We’re already in the middle of a constitutional crisis as this administration is blatantly ignoring judges and is gearing up to challenge their authority in totality. Again. We need to be ready for collective action. Our institutions will not save us. This is heating up in a hurry.

Flu cases are high, TB cases continue to spread, a new, more virulent strain of the avian flu, H5N9, has been found. The AMA is stepping up to get the word out to the public as the CDC and NIH are still banned from public announcements about these illnesses. www.youtube.com/results?sear...

Parents whose kids have learning differences, including ADHD, are dependent on 504 plans to get the support they need in schools. MANY MORE families than you think have kids on 504 plans. I really hope this will radicalize them.

The U.S. Army and U.S. Navy have removed all web pages highlighting women’s military service. Weak men always fear and are threatened by strong women. I’ll never regret voting for VP Kamala Harris.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Still not over Uncle Sam mocking the critique of Black music and culture as uncivilized and ghetto and then doubling down by saying America appreciates calm and peace, the exact moment Kendrick turned the whole thing around. And with the white supremacist in chief in attendance? Masterful.

Now more than ever, it's important to support queer authors, artists, musicians, etc. We've been screaming for years--in real life and in our art--about what was coming and were told it was all in our heads. Things can and will get better, but we need you to help us keep our heads above water.

in my very very early childhood, the two records I remember my dad playing on his ancient early 80s sound system were Pink Floyd's THE WALL and Prince's 1999. Little did he know he was setting up my tastes for Life.

The same people who said Hillary Clinton couldn’t be trusted with national security because she had a secure private server are totally fine with a teenager named Big Balls who was fired for leaking sensitive data having access to every plausible government database without a security clearance.

One time my brother and I wrote a screenplay called JEREMY FIGHTS A FUCKING BEAR: THE MOTION PICTURE. It ended with both Jeremy (my brother) and The Bear floating into Jupiter's atmosphere, as astronomers at a giant telescope start to panic as they watch We were drinking pretty heavily at the time

Tomorrow is the gathering/memorial for my brother. I can’t go. All the kids have the flu, and it’s rough. Even though I’m not sick, that can change any minute. I don’t want to pass this to the other kids in family. And I don’t want to be five hours from home and get sick.

I wrote a sketch once where Postal Workers decide to punish one of their own since he did something that goes against Their Ways. The punishment: He'd have to duct tape his balls to a flagpole. The sketch derails as everyone starts to argue about the logistics. I lost it in a hard drive crash, sadly

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements. They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern." Pay attention.

I just read that night terrors have a genetic link. I have a family member who had them in her early 20s. After realizing what it was it was such a relief. There are still some sleep disturbances on occasion. And if her kids have them we know how to explain it and can talk to a doctor about it.
