What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

I'm a reporter looking for people who experienced journeys at a psilocybin center in Oregon or Colorado. I'm interested in expectations, before/after care and your thoughts on the experience. #Psychedelic #Psychedelics #PsychedelicTherapy #Healing #MagicMushrooms #Psilocybin #oregon #colorado

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to * Get that new Vax if you can * Stock up on masks * Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out * Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine * Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

Candon Dean Dahle, 22, was sentenced by Idaho District Judge Steven Boyce to 5-10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a girl for 5 years. It started when she was 7 years old. --Boyce then suspended the sentence and placed Dahle on probation for eight years. www.ksl.com/article/5136...

I’ve partnered with the Center for Wildlife Studies to make an online take-at-your-own-pace version of my “public science engagement using social media” professional development workshop. You can take it for graduate course credit, CPE credit, or just to learn a useful new skill.

Last night, at the final show of her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, Cyndi Lauper brought out Joni Mitchell (for “Carey”), Cher (“Girls Just Want To Have Fun”), SZA (“True Colors”), John Legend (“Time After Time”), and more. www.stereogum.com/2321337/cynd...

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

It's the last week to vote for SXSW panels. It'd be groovy if you could vote for "Trip Control" - my panel discussing psychedelic medicine guidelines. You have to sign up, it's easy, no spam. Thank you! #sxsw @jhpsychedelics.bsky.social participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

THIS is a great idea

About 10% of foster kids go to college, but many arrive with only a bag of clothes. So a California non-profit started "Dec My Dorm," raising more than $40,000 to help 140 LA-based students. Now they're aiming at the other 49 states. #college @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Foster kids headed to college often arrive with a trash bag of clothes and no idea that a dorm room comes with .. nothing. Check out this new LA-based program "Dec My Dorm" that set up 140 students with hangers, sheets and fans. Now for the other 49 states. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

There are a lot of panels promoting psychedelics at #SXSW but this one addresses safety guidelines. Can you give the Trip Control panel a vote? I will trade for jokes about cows gleaned from living in Nebraska, Kansas and Wisconsin. #psychedelic participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

So you want to try ketamine. Or psilocybin. What do you ask the provider? What should THEY ask? How much should it cost? What happens if something goes wrong? Check out my SXSW panel: Trip Control. Could you all vote for it? Click the heart, that's it participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47. My grandmother also died from it at 53. When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying. 🧵

once again thinking about the power of this video

Many people say they want to make friends -but they don't want to make the effort. I host a #Philly MeetUp w 600 women over 50. I've hosted bingo, movie nights, art pop-ups and happy hours. One came to bingo. The rest? Zero. If you want to make friends, you HAVE TO SHOW UP.

"Fly" by Sugar Ray. I have no idea why, it just grates on my nerves to the point where I feel slightly ill.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

It’s good to see this poll result @the-independent.com @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk A lot more needs to be done to protect the population. #CleantheAir Many of us are fed up!

All the best to her and a reminder that Michael Weatherly, who harassed her, was caught on camera doing so and was enthusiastically defended by CBS (who put Dushku through the wringer), is headlining an NCIS spinoff.

The wonderful novelist and nonfiction writer @emmaceisenberg.bsky.social investigated this for Esquire in 2020:

What's the pettiest thing you've done for revenge? When Sundance channel charged me $64 for a year w/o a renewal notice and refused to let me cancel, I posted my name and PW to my 50+ women's group. With 2,500 women. At least 20 said they were going to join but didn't need to now! Enjoy.

I’m being strafed!

A deep dive into private ketamine clinics - there are more than 1,000 today across the U.S. Many are calling for stricter guidelines and a clear standard-of-care for this depression treatment. #ketamine

In case you haven’t read the report, here are the headings of the report’s conclusions into Andrew Cuomo’s behavior.

Many PR people have no idea how journalists work and what makes a story. Take a journalism class. Learn how to write stories/video/radio on deadline. Print reporters want different things than TV or radio. Also, I always want to speak to the actual person who did the thing. Not the PR person.

Masks should never have been politicized. Covid doesn’t care if you’re right or left. It doesn’t care that you’re over it or that you trust your immune system. It’s never too late to start masking again! Every infection avoided or delayed is a win (and a life possibly saved).

I'm unclear how "the world has moved on from the COVID pandemic." COVID is the 5th leading cause of death in the U.S. - right now. It's not a cold. It's not the flu. Even mild cases cause long-term heart issues. The stories mocking people who mask are awful and part of why so many people die.

I would LOVE to see more of this kind of self-promotion from people who are not white dudes. I WANT a variety of voices/jobs in my journalism classes. (Fall: med/sci writing and beg reporting) Teach out to your alma mater/ local college! Email a prof in your area of expertise! #medicinesky

OK but he's been impeached twice, more than any other president. It seems kind of meaningless, at this point, no?

These slow downs will be felt for years.

Dear GenX - I do not remember having any sort of "gift bag" at anyone's birthday party. We went to the roller rink, ate cake and left. Am I remembering incorrectly? When did this change? #GenerationX #GenX

Hi friends, help me boost? Looking to talk to people who work in child vaccines (providers, schools, health depts, clinics, data folks or coalitions, etc.) who might have insight or experiences to share about how their work has been impacted the last couple of months. Don't reply just DM me please!

Inch & Co. dropped its appeal against Manchester Township’s zoning board. Instead of pursuing a possible warehouse, the company says it wants to build homes instead.

This is what I wish folks could understand. Covid disrupts your immune system response, I was fascinated with Covid because of the way it operates very similarly to many autoimmune disorders. It is unpredictable and even 6 months after you're still at high risk of stroke, blood clots, etc.

The @chronicle.com asked 59 colleges under investigation by ED how they would respond if they got a list of demands like Columbia. Nobody would answer the questions, and one university (Wisconsin) called them "ridiculous." We'll find out how they actually respond soon enough.

Long-term heart risks from COVID-19. "A study found that having a COVID-19 infection doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with risks extending up to 3 years." "The risks presented by COVID-19 apply to all patients, regardless of age, gender, or prior health conditions."

Department of Education staff were told today that they had to clear out their offices by 6pm tonight. And the most idiotic people on earth are cheering for this department’s demise without even knowing what it does. This country in the verge of collapse and it’s terrifying.

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

I am infuriated to learn abt the celebrations of Frederick Douglass cancelled & suppressed by the Trump admin, so I'm reposting my recent essay analyzing his searing critique of white Christian nationalism.
