This is the biggest interview I've done about Krakoan, post-Krakoa, I think (even though they asked the questions beforehand.) www.lospaziobianco.it/en/the-krako...

"What was that?" #Cats

I LOVE all these "everybody contributes to science" projects, but PLEASE stop calling them citizen science and start calling them COMMUNITY SCIENCE projects (and community scientists) instead. It's a far more inclusive and non-limiting term. #SciComm

Re-posting this great piece by Eric K. Ward about how he infiltrated white supremacist groups in the 1990s and learned: “Antisemitism, I discovered, is a particular and potent form of racism so central to White supremacy that Black people would not win our freedom without tearing it down.” ✊

I couldn’t resist the pretty blues of the New Zealand/Aoetearoa velvet worms, so I selected a different species than suggested for #InsertAnInvert2024. Here are my 8” x 8” linocuts drying…. #linocut #printmaking #wip #wildlifeArt #sciArt #invertebrate #velvetWorm

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO WIN A RIGHTEOUS BATTLE.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

Behold: the most “so you hate waffles” post imaginable

been thinking about this. a lot of people are going to learn about the absurd range of things that felons are barred from doing. is trump a fiduciary for any ERISA covered employee benefit plans? guess we'll find out but an enterprising person could start searching 5500s.

dad at this playground has knuckle tats that say BOOK WORM, which is a perfect combo of nerdy and badass

The first two photos are typical views of Green Herons; the last two show that they actually do have heron-like necks that they rarely show off for me #birds #birding #birdphotography #herons #heron #greenheron

“Israel” isn’t “failing to protect civilians,” it’s not even willing to kill civilians as collateral damage in order to kill Hamas fighters. These framings obscure what should be obvious at this point: “Israel” is TARGETING CIVILIANS. You don’t kill tens of thousands by accident!

Forget IMRD! ILMRD is the logical structure of papers. This: 1. Introduction: What did I want to know and why? 2. Literature Review: Who else has written about this? 3. Methods: How did I study it? 4. Results: What did I find? 5. Discussion: What do these findings mean? #academicsky

they're not planning shit like this with any expectation of ever relinquishing power once they have it

A trans woman won Miss Maryland and transphobes are big mad about it.

adulthood is sitting on the couch for an hour in dead silence and telling yourself it’s about time for bed the entire time

Every time the IDF kills dozens of Palestinians to rescue a tiny number of hostages I think about how so many more hostages were saved through ceasefire

damn this quote about london from the 1200s makes it sound so epic????

I see lots of people saying "how can Trump be worse on Palestine?" Have no doubt: he would be.

A reminder: Israel bears full responsibility for its campaign of total destruction of the Gaza Strip. But Hamas's 7th Oct attack was a reckless gamble which - so far - brought unprecedented disaster. Any analysis that omits Hamas's agency and responsibility, is not worth the paper it's written on.

Media is being too credulous about Trump's threats to prosecute Dems "for revenge." This implies he's just threatening to do what is being done to him. That's deception: He's vowing evidence-free prosecutions, which is *not* what's happening to him. 1/ Link: newrepublic.com/article/1824...

There are so many Biden haters out there. I guarantee you if he is not re-elected you won’t be able to share your thoughts about anything publicly anymore. Read Project 2025. It’s designed to eradicate democracy. There is no other choice. Vote blue to save American democracy. #BidenHarris2024

Here's a gift link for whole article www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/o...

Allowing wealth to be concentrated at the very top has completely broken this society. Consider that it's significantly cheaper for billionaires and corporations to spend millions buying politicians and judges than to pay taxes on their wealth. Capitalism incentivizes this kind of ROI.

as a first-gen American, it's been really scary and depressing to see the whiplash from the Trump years when liberals had very strong, positive messaging for immigrants to today where supposed "allies" argue violating international law is a "necessary evil" and whip out polls to say it's all okay.

Just a picture of #Covid being over in #Japan. See the grey line? It flatlined when the government decided to throw all Covid data collection out the window, told that Covid was over, and when people started to stop masking. The red line? That's the excess mortality rate. I wonder what is happening.

Inviting cops to Pride is like pointing out that Stonewall couldn't have happened without the NYPD officers who raided the bar.

I just need half of one. What can we do today?

Protip: what Charles Koch means by "liberty" is not the same thing that you mean by "liberty".

My neurosurgeon said that I can return to driving and I don't need physical therapy anymore! I just have to keep up with my neck exercises. Woohoo! Please clap.
