Please help in the capacity that you can. #JusticeForPalestinianCommunities

I am more qualified to teach ornithology than Richard Dawkins, and yet I am denied employment opportunities in my field. I desperately want to help clean up STEM so that we can protect both religion and science. #OccupySTEM

Haven't read this specifically but Hitler fucking LOVED what America was doing with eugenics and the Nazis had significant support amongst white Americans. It's important to recognize those ties.

Every day.

I have realized that I am a pantheist, and I am also a scientist because I studied science at a university here. And I so desperately want to help fix STEM for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

I miss Carl Sagan.

NATO bombed Libya in 2011 and NATO bombed Yugoslavia in 1999 for fundamentally the same reasons the Philadelphia Police Department bombed a Black neighborhood in Philadelphia in the 1980's. To terrorize the community and to promote and enforce white supremacy and settler-colonialism.

The denial of the US's complicity in The Gaza genocide in Palestine is, in fact, genocide-denialism against the Palestinians in Gaza. Also, the denial of the US's complicity in The Holocaust is itself Holocaust denialism.

When Christopher Hitchens claimed that religion poisons everything, he was lying. White supremacy and settler-colonialism poisons everything, including STEM and religion.

"Yes, it is genocide...Jewish history will henceforth be stained with the mark of Cain of the “crime of crimes,” which cannot be erased from its forehead. As such, it will stand trial for generations." Indeed. Trying to label this an Israeli crime obviates the responsibility the Diaspora shares.

Encroaching uninvited over reasonable boundaries that i have set for myself, in order to put words into my mouth that I have never said and to proclaim to know what I believe better than I do, and to claim to know my level of education better than I have experienced, is a white supremacist value.

Do not dare to accuse me of supporting Lysenkoism when i have never stated that I have, when I have repeatedly criticized Dawkins for pushing junk science about bird evolution and biological sex, and when I, as someone who once worked in ornithology, have criticized the field of ornithology itself.

I am not a Marxist-Leninist because of the symbolism or the label. I am not in this to be cool or to be remembered as a famous figure. I have a healthy distrust of authority because of child and family abuse. But I cannot be insular, and I cannot think only of myself. And I encourage critique.

Two things can be true: Two things can be true, and two things can’t be true. Dialectics, baby!

No proof was ever given to justify the absurd lie that Al Shifa Hospital was Hamas’ “command and control center”—a “story” that ran for months in Western rags—but now that THREE mass graves have been uncovered on its grounds, the media have suddenly lost interest in the hospital!
