On the one hand, this is massively dystopian, foretelling an end to all of our livelihoods. But on the other (more important) hand, I could not have invented a better anecdote to illustrate my book’s thesis.
She sure is! But she makes me breakfast so I let it slide.
A black iridescent hen looking to the side hoping I’ll throw her a garden worm.
I’m pretty bad at updating with so much going on but spring is creeping our way and I’m looking forward to waking up the garden. Poppy decided to tag along for the yard inspection today.

Does this look like a big laser to anyone else
In case anyone forgot, this administration had already prohibited public funding of mRNA vaccine research. Moderna was one of the single biggest private funders of mRNA vaccine research. This will set us back decades.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
I'm retiring the Browns as my No. 1 team until Jimmy and Dee Haslam are no longer owners. I wish I could say it's been a fun last 35 years, but it hasn't. I'll still wish for the Browns players to succeed, but between this and the Watson trade, I'm done. www.cleveland.com/open/2024/10...
Also my favorite set childhood movies!

While the Mummy is good, Mask of Zorro was my awaking as an elder millennial.
My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator.

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.”

There is a time and a place for wasps to build a nest, but that place is not the planter on our front porch, and the time is not now.
part of why white supremacists & the wider right have worked so hard to falsely frame immigration as an "invasion," & why it has manufactured propaganda about a "great replacement," is to create the pretext for precisely this: an authoritarian government that gets to decide who it gets to disappear
A Rocky Mountian Goldenrod plant. The leaves are spoon-shaped and bright green. Flower heads have many golden-yellow fluffy flowers.
Red Butte Garden is having their plant sale all weekend. The amphitheater is packed with almost everything you could imagine. Picked up some water wise Rocky Mountain Goldenrod for my front yard 😊
I'm not sure what's the most graceful way to say this, so bear with me.
Some of you have reached out for my thoughts about the planned "Harry Potter" television series set to debut on HBO next year.

I’ll never watch this because I will never support anything that ghoul touches. I hope it tanks.
Mass classification of people is a critical framing genocidal logics require. A tool to do so need not be very accurate, it only needs to convince people it is accurate enough, at least enough to allow them to enact policy of harm.
Genocide is a policy.

The seedlings are doing really well this year! Working up the courage to cut the weaker of these two😅
You’re a MAGAty bag of pus and I hope the people you’re suppose to represent vote you out.
Wishing so many good things your way!
@danirabaiotti.bsky.social had a huge role in bringing scientists over in the very early days of Bluesky. She & @bossett.social created the Science Feed and both deserve much praise for their time and hard work! @katharinehayhoe.com also brought over many scientists and helped people connect!

Time to get rid of my Shopify store.
"The company later created a 'Politicians – Academics – Journalists' category in its biometric database."
The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
