Black man singing a song “White man” he made up and a white man commented he was invited to the chicken boil 🫡😭

every city in America:

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring." Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

I have a significant thing happening that will likely require surgery and I am ✨scared✨

STEM Happening: Happy 82nd birthday to Black American inventor and scientist Valerie Thomas (February 8, 1943) #BlackHistoryMonth

I am happy to say the "Followers only" reply setting is getting implemented. We're also adding a way to set default reply settings If you want your posts to default to "Followers only," that'll become an option

Idc that it’s 42 degrees out. My windows are open because I need to BREATHE

A lot of the near-crazy I’m feeling lately is a simple lack of expression. (Don’t worry I won’t share it here) I’m so close to getting it back. I just need my world shook a lil bit

Is it astonishing though? Really???? Haven't we been seeing this for a few years now? I just want all of us to be honest.

Not just CDC. NIH sites also being scrubbed, including the Office for Research on Women's Health which @arghavansallesmd.medsky.social says is a pale shadow of what it was + void of information. This when NASEM says women's health research is woefully underfunded. www.statnews.com/2025/02/01/c...

The job of congress isn't to come on here and tell us stuff, that's the media's job. Your job is to tell us what you're going to DO about it.

There’s a trend where Latinas are saying “I’m not only stealing your jobs, I’m also stealing your men.” and it’s just not the flex they think it is IMO

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

Chicago, baby.

Fiance reports that ICE trying to board a bus in Seattle were refused by a Seattle bus driver who told them "gargle my balls"

People get off work and go to karate class, man. I admire that shit.

Oh no Colombian President Gustavo Petro has released another track

Splurged on a nice journal from paper republic for my birthday next month. Should I wait to open it on my birthday or open it when it arrives?

When you have kids you gotta schedule a good cry and it’s gotta be in the evening, after everyone’s been picked up, fed, and asks you to watch them play with the dogs.

Fox News blurring ICE personnel during raids

My community is being targeted by ICE today😢😢😢😢

going to the store anyone need anything

Just believe me ok?

That is behavior indicative of Raven

Every day is a good day to SAY NOTHING to the police, ICE, sheriff's office workers and anyone else in "law enforcement". Every day is STFU-Friday.

The key point here is "we will not obey." We need more of that from state officials. We need refusal from everyone who the administration will rely upon to work its will in the world, from governors to teachers, social workers, doctors, and other everyday people in the streets. Refusal is essential.

Girl I forgot I had a couple of blueberries while making my lunch for tomorrow and I almost DIED when I flossed and a reddish glob plopped out in the sink😩

Poetry Foundation not fucking around with today's poem of the day www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...

“I have Graham Greene's telephone number, but I wouldn't dream of using it. I don't seek out writers because we all want to be alone.” -Patricia Highsmith #BOTD

I broke off a piece of chicharron that looks like California
