I love this sm

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will *never* have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will *you*

Sometimes the internet is wonderful.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

"But what can I do, I'm just a person" I'd rather see small acts of community help rather than passive defeatism. Even if you manage to help just one person, that's better than none. Now imagine if everyone dropped the defeatist attitude and helped.

I think you should celebrate anything you accomplished these days, anything that went well, no matter how minor.

If this doesn’t encapsulate what living in the USA is like right now

🧵 Melting Permafrost: A Window Into the Ice Age—And a Climate Warning More Ice Age animals—mammoths, cave lions, even baby woolly rhinos—are emerging from the ground. As a paleontologist, I love these discoveries. But why we’re finding more of them? That’s a problem. 1/

Organizers of nationwide protests planned for Monday, when the U.S. will mark Presidents' Day, appealed to those who oppose President Donald Trump and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk's agenda. www.commondreams.org/news/anti-tr...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED! 🧪🧵⬇️

Also: gender is a social construct. Nothing to do with biology I am non binary. I never fit in with either displays of gender. When I was a kid..didnt fit in with boys or girls. Too girly for Tom boys, too masc for girly girls. So I found my own box. Im K and welcome to my Ted Talk.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We’re getting close to Presidents Day, so just a reminder that there will be protests! Check fiftyfifty.one for more information on protests in your state. CT PEOPLE: Our official protest is at NEW HAVEN CITY HALL at 12pm. #50501movement #50501protests #BuildtheResistence #Connecticut

A reminder that you are loved 💕 — #transrightsarehumanrights #dragons #nonbinary #lgbtq+art

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

I'm changing it from LGBTQ+ to LGBTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTQ+ just to make my fucking point.

This is so important when thinking about the state of our world today.

Know our history. Keep telling our history. We can’t trust the government with it. Keep sharing our history so we can hold on to what the bastards try to take from us.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Folks outside the United States - if you want to help the Americans who didn’t vote for this nightmare, please petition your governments to place their most severe sanctions on Elon Musk and all his companies

If you’re planning on going to Connecticut’s, please note that it will be at the NEW HAVEN CITY HALL, not in Hartford!

We’re not just getting to a dystopia. We’ve been in a dystopia. The warnings in all your favorites aren’t about the future. They’ve always been about what we’re doing in the moment, so maybe we’ll actually look at what’s happening instead of just shrugging at the news.

🥳 HAPPY IGUANODON DAY! 🥳 It was the 2nd dinosaur scientifically named & described, & presented to the Royal Society 200 years ago today! It’s 1 of 3 animals upon which the group ‘Dinosauria’ itself was first based 💪 Visit OUMNH to see more on this fantastic #dinosaur! @morethanadodo.bsky.social

Over 2.5 billion years ago, trillions of tiny Cyanobacteria spent hundreds of millions of years creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth. Take a deep breath. How are you using your oxygen today? Be present. Give freely. Care for others. Make your ancient microbial cousins proud. Exhale. Repeat.

Just think of how cute that would be on your desk 🦊

please include alt text on your pictures of american politicians so everyone can participate in yelling at them. including me, i cannot tell 200 separate 85 year old white guys apart

We had an AMAZING turnout in ALL 50 STATES yesterday for the #50501Movement protest! This is only the beginning - we’re going to show this Administration what we’re made of! 🇺🇸 📷: Tamra Linn (Reddit)

Protests are erupting against the Trump-Musk regime all over the country - a thread of the #50501protests in every state of these United States. #epluribusunum #E3 #USprotests #forkoff #Musk #buildtheresistance @50501movement.bsky.social

For everyone who went to protests today, please don’t share photos. If you must, PLEASE take some precautions to protect yourself and others: 🧵 1/3
