I am now good (bad???) enough at C to code segmentation faults.

Still trying to raise enough for prescriptions but if someone is able to send me $40 right now my needed knee brace is on an excellent sale, I just found out and I think it ends today.

The point of this Dame piece — which you should actually read before commenting — is that Matt Gaetz isn't some unique villain here, he's just one more in a parade of shitty dudes who took advantage of someone made vulnerable by a society that doesn't care about the poor.

My spouse is definitely the domestic one in our relationship. He is off to the office today and I have reverted to a manic scavenging goblin existence.

Braaaaaaains!

Hi everyone! I'm co-organizing this retreat/workshop June 15-19 for those looking to get started in mathematical/computational modeling of biological processes. Location is a beautiful farm in NC. Please share with students and others who want to build modeling skills. Interdisciplinarity welcome!

Anyway. December 3 is the International Day for Persons with Disabilities. Let's NOT be shitty to disabled people online by eroding support for accommodations and questioning whether people are "actually disabled" or not, shall we?

There's a Butcherbox delivery in the packages area of my building for a few days now. Yeah.

the winter holiday season can be confusing to us who have trouble keeping track of the days because companies are advertising cyber monday sales on wednesday

In other news, I am so glad I have a life partner to discuss all the weird shit I see on the Internet so I don’t engage with the discourse.

I worked in the automation side of pharma, and people, though well-meaning, misunderstand automation, robotics, and AI in industry. "Will robots take our jobs?" There will always be a person monitoring automation. I know the ideal is to have robots run robots but that won't come anytime soon.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

no thoughts just meow meow

This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.

On World AIDS Day, I’m reminded of all the positive folks who have fought, and continue to fight, secrecy, stigma, and shame. HIV is a chronic illness conditioned by state violence, poverty, inequality, and discrimination. We can end HIV by cultivating better healthcare and more inclusive societies.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion. It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make. By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

The thing about the home birth movement is the same thing about anti-psychiatry, which is that it is basically 100% correct right up until it runs into anti-science thinking and transforms into crunchy fascism, and unfortunately internet discourse is incapable of appreciating that nuance
