Making science more accessible ✨

Things harming accessibility of science:

Defunding of public services and educational facilities

Inequality in education access

Privatisation and paywalls

Poor social media regulation

Things palaeosphere men claim is a travesty to scicomm:

Wonky Allosaurus model in a TV show for kids

Sorry to get political again on the silly Nintendo fangirl account but hey gang: when do we start really worrying about this shit. Are we there yet? Feels like we are there.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

‘GOAT’ becomes the first major studio film to feature an all-disability loop group.

Nearly two dozen actors with disabilities provided the film’s crowd chants, arena noise, and background voices.

Does everyone see how quickly that police line broke when everyone pushed in the same direction, with purpose? You see how they regained control the moment people didnt seize the momentum?

There is a lesson to be learnt from this...

Just fyi Cuba poses absolutely zero threat to the US in case anyone was wondering

Always Keep stories like this in mind when the trump regime tries to demonize cuba.

@natnewswatch · 22h 'Moral panic': Conservative MP blasts aid to Cuba, urges government to spend it on 'our own people' https://ca.news.yahoo.com/moral-panic-conservative-mp-blasts-172729046.html Find out more at http://nationalnewswatch.com

He was against a school lunch program to feed starving children in his own district

So Trump can essentially bully western allies with ridiculous trade wars and threaten to annex Canada but as long as imperial resource wars are still on the menu we'll instantly revert to being a vessel state for scraps

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

God, I am fighting myself to stay civil.

Indiscriminate attacks you say? Like, oh I don't know, 80 plus dead children in Iran? Tens of thousands of dead civilians in Palestine? Ah no, not them ofc. Israel has a right to defend itself after all.

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.

Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.

The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.

It will help your heart.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

I am calling on Sir Kier to IMMEDIATELY charter evacuation flights for ALL Brits living in Dubai- but don't bring them back here, maybe drop them over the mediterranean sea on the flight back or something

setting the precedent here that firstly the united states can kidnap state leaders and try them in its own courts and secondly that the united states and israel can just full on assassinate other state leaders in broad daylight, all with zero consequences. good luck to the world

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

The sewer has overflowed. We are eyes deep in shit.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: The Inquiry brought up the case of Denholm Elliott's daughter - PAUL McMULLAN: Oh, yeah - BROOKE GLADSTONE: - which is one case that you truly do regret. PAUL McMULLAN: I do, yeah. After Denholm died, she hit rock bottom, was allegedly doing methadone. And although she had, you know, the half-million-pound flat that Denholm had bought her, she didn't have any money to get her ten-pound bag in the morning. So she'd get up and go begging at the tube station. Here was a young girl crying out to be helped, and she met a police officer who didn't help her but rang up the News of the World and asked for money because he couldn't believe that this is the same girl who'd walked down the red carpet behind Eddie Murphy with Denholm Elliott, you know.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: And you offered her 50 pounds - PAUL MCMULLAN: Yeah. BROOKE GLADSTONE: - if she would come to your place and have sex. So you led her into prostitution, which she wasn't in that space for. PAUL McMULLAN: No, indeed. But she was in such a bad place that someone offering her 50 pounds for sex. I mean, that's five bags.

BROOKE GLADSTONE: So how do you justify that? Yes, she was a drug addict, yes, she was begging. Why push her that extra step? Why take pictures of her topless? PAUL McMULLAN: I was keen. It was in my first year. I wanted to impress Piers Morgan, who was my boss at the time, and just wanted to say, not only have I caught this girl begging, but l've got pictures of her topless and I've got her offering me sex for 50 quid. How great am I? BROOKE GLADSTONE: This is a pretty dehumanizing enterprise, not just for Jennifer Elliott, but for you, yourself. PAUL McMULLAN: Yeah, that's why I feel terrible about it, not just 'cause she killed herself afterwards, but I, I actually liked her as a person.

Sharing from a friend, a passage from the Leveson Inquiry regarding the British actor Denholm Elliott, who died of AIDS in 1992. Three years after her death, the News of the World journalist Paul McMullan did the following to his daughter—neither a celebrity nor even someone of public interest.

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

Fascinating how these Labour MPs have found moral standing as soon as they realise their seats might be at threat. It's almost like they are careerists with no values. Don't get me wrong, opposing Mahmood's immigration proposals is good. But where were they when these heinous proposals were made?

I think people think we're exaggerating when we say the widespread use of the term "biological sex" as a term itself isn't organic. This data isn't anomalous, it comports with everything we've seen about the specific use of the term.

The fact Reform were left in the dirt as well tells you what we've said for a long time. A promise for change can be an antidote to right-wing rhetoric.

This is what the Trump bureau of prisons is doing to trans people, putting them at immediate risk of medical emergency to forcefully detransition them.

Unimaginable levels of cruelty.

The intention of the anti trans project, from “just asking questions” to “fairness in sports” was always this: to make it illegal and impossible to be trans in society.

To create pretexts for our arrest and removal, if we don’t put ourselves under house arrest.

To punish us for being different.

only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

I just donated $30 to queer & trans mutual aid in Kansas City- consider matching my donation? account.venmo.com/u/kcmoMAC

Deeply evil, genocidal policy. Here are some orgs that may be able to help:
