sometimes i think about the unbelievable waste of talent that goes into systematically abusing women out of entire industries and the stuff we'll never read and the perspectives we'll never hear and the music that will never drop and i get so angry i could bite a football in half.

Anyway, I'm certain you are just all sort of surprised to hear male sex workers of the period were supposedly often asked to imitate his speech/mannerisms/scenes by clients.

BOOP! Mr. Euro Wool-carder Bee (Anthidium manicatum) hanging out by the Rose Campion lookin' for ladies. #inverts #becurious

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

It doesn’t really bother me, because I can’t feel invalidated about something immutable. It just makes me do a sad smile and think “oh, your world hasn’t expanded past middle school.”

It's kind of amazing that the political right has decided that testosterone = man and the more testosterone the more man. Everything reduced down to a single measurement of a thing that has only a tenuous connection to the "inherent" traits they value (largely being a selfish and cruel asshole).

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

You expect good Christians to care about mass microplastics poisoning?

You seeing what I'm seeing? #FungiFriday

Like….everybody shut the fuck up and stop fighting. You are taking the wrong fucking lesson from this border-crossing smoke nightmare. The lesson is *all of earth’s ecosystems are entwined, borders mean nothing, all emitters are culpable, this is an EARTH PROBLEM NOT A COUNTRY PROBLEM*.

Tillis prodded a rape survivor to go public with allegations against Hegseth, promising her that it would sink the nomination of a dangerous man to a powerful position. She did, at significant risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote in favor of Hegseth. He has always been a coward.

An unbelievable sight on the way home from work today. Our local sap weep is bursting with beetles! 🪲🤯🪲 This is a local wounded Siberian elm leaking sap, well-known to longtime followers. Look at this menagerie! More to come…

Also worth noting Taylor Farms gives political contributions mostly to Republicans. www.opensecrets.org/orgs/taylor-... They also hosted DeSantis as part of an agribusiness event in 2023 www.montereycountynow.com/opinion/loca...

It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.

Gwynn joined us in DC for #MillionsMissing. She shared Lisa’s personal essay from the new book “What is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Like?" Lisa so powerfully shared her story of life with severe ME. Full video: youtu.be/-M5sCn1ftqw WIMEL book of essays: tinyurl.com/WIMEL #PwME #SevereME

Cannot tell you how much having new techniques to learn is saving my brain right now. If you spend much of your time on the computer or with abstract theoretical stuff, having a physical craft is such a relief. Nope, you won’t be good at first. My tension is crap. But it feels awesome.

A plainly unsustainable country, sustained by workers who can't afford to live in it.

IT GOT HEATED

Just a girl living her dream chasing active volcanoes!

But I have no hope of that actually happening in the numbers that would be required. Hope is a concept that is increasingly hard to find. What shall I say to my kiddo tonight when she gets home, all full of excitement for the approaching summer holidays?

Please read this 🧵 and don’t look away.

Ninety percent of the 71 detainees contacted in the concentration camp on Fort Bliss say they were beaten by guards are witnessed beatings, in addition to inedible meals and lack of access to medication or lawyers.

The Pentagon always offered men testosterone therapy if they came in complaining of symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency and their tests showed clinically low T.

Geovanni is one of the workers who was on a roof in Chanhassen in subzero temps in Dec 25 when ICE came. He was detained and injured that day and needs a second surgery due to those injuries. Can we get this funded for him? www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

Beeeeessssss 🐝 #bloomscrolling #bees #pollinatorgarden

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

yeah guys Pete Hegseth is doing gender affirming care and he’s just like a trans person you really got him he’s just like those pieces of shit he hates and you caught him in the gotcha and he’s basically trans and he’s doing gender affirming care he’s just like us since he’s doing gender affirming c

A Garden Tiger was added to the garden moth list this morning. It's just unfortunate that it's in such poor condition. It's an uncommon moth where I live, so even though it's in terrible shape, I'm glad to have finally seen one. And it was bigger than I'd imagined. #teammoth

This is now 28% funded and the ask in the go fund me is less than half of the actual need for surgery plus legal fees. Please keep boosting. We keep us safe.

I've been tracking this story ever since. tl;dr: the administration planned to burn a multi-million dollar stockpile of contraception for women abroad, claiming it was really 'abortion' They even cited the Global Gag Rule (which prevents U.S. funding for abortion) for why they planned to destroy it

"Justa" harvests carrot in Tehachapi CA. "We work in teams. We're paid $3.05/box. If the team harvests 100 boxes it's divided between the team. It's very hard work. We work on our knees. With the recent high temps it is unbearable, but it is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou

This morning, I was notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 53th death on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We must continue to fight for accountability for everyone who has lost a loved one. And it’s time to end the use of all for-profit detention centers.

On this day in 1954, the U.S. government staged mass deportations across the Southwest. By the end of the campaign, thousands of people had been deported, including many in the country legally and even some U.S. citizens.

Two Minnesota solar farms seeded native wildflowers under their panels, and 5 years of counting revealed native bees had multiplied twentyfold, then crossed the fence to pollinate the neighbour's soybeans

Scientists--if your funding was cut over the last year (for research on climate, global health, DEI, LGBTQ or womens health, etc) but you managed to keep the research going, I want to talk to you for an upcoming article! Plz contact me: gewin at me dot com. Re-posts appreciated!

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

In a World Cup-fueled union win, concessions workers at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles have won the right to walk off the job, should ICE pose a threat to their safety 1/4

I want you to know one thing. When I speak of Whitney Houston. When I speak of her vocal prowess, and how she was TRULY gifted, I’m not exaggerating. You know why Pavarotti was gagged? Because Whitney was really blowing. Had she been serious, she could’ve been a Diva of opera
