May I present the mascot for the Halifax Oyster Festival, Pearl

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

Look, frens, I found a sunbeam! *does Snoopy happy dance on the rug*

Good news, turns out "Big Beautiful Bill" is actually just a guy the President has been imagining

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Observed at local restaurant—a sign only Edith Head could love

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

If you distrust Anthony Fauci, a medical doctor and scientist who spent 40 years as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, but you trust RFK Jr., a lawyer and drug addict with no medical degree or training of any kind in medicine or science, you might be a moron.

I feel so loved when she snuggles up and rests her little head on me. I’ll stay still in an uncomfortable position for quite a while to keep from disturbing her.

Now that I’ve moved back home and completed the most obvious parts of recovery from Helene (repairing the house, getting insurance squared away, etc., I feel flat, tired, and wanting to sit in a closet alone all day with a book. I think the impact on my mental health has finally caught up with me.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Q: “Outside they’re chanting ‘protect due process’. Do you think everyone arrested in an ICE raid has a right to due process?” Rep. Andy Ogles: “NO.” 🤔 Andy or the constitution — whose side are you on? 🇺🇸 www.instagram.com/reel/DKIcbQ3...

There's literally MIT rocket scientists and Pulitzer prize winners who get drawn into this shit, so don't think education level is some prophylactic against the hell the platforms have created.

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Mr. Eastern Gray (EG) Squirrel loves hiding his acorns in our raised garden bed.

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

"Sorry, my Mum said no"

Hi Caturday friends! I wave my beans now that I licked them all cleans! #Caturday #catsofbluesky #cat #cats #toebeans #carelesswhisker

Watch what they do, not what they say.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Sights like our peonies busting out are even more welcome following Helene.

“.. would also mark the first time in the history of SNAP that the federal government would no longer ensure children in every state have access to food benefits ..” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/s...

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This is Deku. He's approximately three stories tall. Shedding season is a public health concern. 14/10
