Funnily enough I typed 30 at first when I meant to do 20.
(also I love socks and own more pairs than some would think necessary.)
20?
Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.
This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
Quittr vulnerabilities exposed the masturbation habits as well as private confessional diaries of 600,000 users, including 100,000 MINORS. And didn't fix the problem despite being made aware of it more than six months ago.
It's almost as if it weren't a treatment app, but a surveillance app.
"Porn addiction" pseudoscience preys on anxiety and shame around sexual desire, leading to solutions that compound it.
This is just a rehashed version of old, religious prohibitions on masturbation. If it weren't, the apps would simply recommend you masturbate without porn.
We should take people who say these things seriously and take their ideas seriously. This is actual no-shit eugenics if taken seriously. The implicit claim here is that things like MRI machines or pharmaceutical medications were a mistake. In the age of HHS Sec RFK Jr it’s not just harmless granola.

I've done a lot of lobbying and a lot of activism. It seems stupid, it seems pointless, it seems ineffectual, but phone calls are one of the few things that legislative offices really pay attention to as a barometer for public opinion.
Call early and call often.
This passage of Cosmos came to mind while I was watching Pete Hegseth strut across the stage at the Pentagon yesterday.
It's a plot. It's always been a plot.
Protecting women by restricting sexuality.
Old enough that I remember this originally being published.
A lot of thoughts re: Bush II and the current regime and I don't know if I am eloquent enough to flesh them out.
Hey #scicomm folks!
I am looking for a diverse crew to represent their fields with their head shot and a fun fact they like from their field of study, but SPECIFICALLY:
-a geologist/volcanist or gemologist
-a zoologist
-astronomer
-a paleontologist
-a structural engineer
I wish it had happened sooner but please make this happen now. -a constituent
One thing we can do here is to become defiant in solidarity with those being bombed & invaded overseas. Expand the home front while the fascists are at their most vulnerable.
"What they’re selling is not purity culture with a coat of blush. It’s something more sophisticated and more dangerous as a political instrument: that the progressive sexual revolution failed women, and that the answer is hot, intentional, husband-focused sex inside a traditional marriage."

It probably goes without saying, but just in case: they don’t attack iran like this unless they know there *aren’t* nukes.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.

The Washington Post has now confirmed my reporting, including about Peter Ticktin and Jerome Corsi.
