A reminder! Power of the purse. Remind them that it is not the people in power but the power of the people!

It's the weekend, baby

What happens when you don't pay attention in science class? You look like a fool. Be smart kids, stay in school!

I am so proud to be a teacher in Washington State. Our elected state school superintendent, Chris Reykdal, has been absolutely amazing, and I will vote for him again if he runs.

Maybe a little bit of good news. At least something to keep an eye on. Listen to: The Big Government Money Pipe Freeze - one.npr.org/i/1231335530...

Just doing some truck stuff to escape the nonsense. Added bonus of getting my garden ready for the year. #Rivian #R1T

What's this make? 5 or 6? I wouldn't fly right now if you paid me.

Just a reminder:

I'm putting this on my reading list. books.google.com/books/about/...

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Why doesn't Google just give everyone personal edit ability, and we can all call things whatever the hell we want.

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

The quiet work in the background. We hardly know it is happening, but it gets done none the less. That was until 💩🍊 www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/p...

As always, f*ck the patriarchy. ✊

To all the dudebros complaining about how Star Trek is too "woke" now. 🙄

Life lesson you can learn from engineering. Do not take something apart unless you can: 1. Easily put it back together in a short time and have it working before it is needed. 2. Have a replacement ready on standby. 3. Have the money to buy a new one. Stop DOGE! They are not smart enough to do any.

“Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the Inited States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order.” - Judge John Coughenour today.

John Tyndall and Eunice Foote discovered the physical basis for the greenhouse effect in the mid 1800s, and earlier, Joseph Fourier indicated that Earth’s temperature can be influenced by atmospheric composition. Now that should go viral! www.rigb.org/explore-scie...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Why would anybody call USAID a criminal organization? Their primary goal as an organization was to provide humanitarian help to those less advantaged around the world. So, with a little digging and reading, and this is something I found. 2012-2017.usaid.gov/news-informa...

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

How many times do we need to repeat this?! "Intelligent design" is NOT science. ncse.ngo/north-dakota... #KeepDogmaOut #EdPolicy #SciEd

As a science teacher, this is why I got into education. When you question facts, you put others at risk of harm. Global climate change, vaccinations, forever chemicals, habitat destruction, etc.
