that app somebody made for tracking who you meet at the conference is now a tool for tracking the spread of covid

“Healthcare jobs, especially nursing, have become a reliable path to middle-class prosperity in the U.S., offering stability amid labor market uncertainty. The median annual wage for registered nurses is $93,600, while advanced-degree nurses earn $132,050.”

Imagine getting your balls busted in an interview for not being prompt or eager enough as a fascist. That's why people shouldn't succumb to fascism for self gain, btw, you'll have to defend the fervency of your beliefs, which will make it even more degrading

Many graduate programs in the US exclude "radical" feminist, critical race, anti colonial, and anti capitalist theory, so that oppression is always having to be "rediscovered" in empirical studies. Authors can participate in unveiling these inequities without political risk or critical analysis.

frankly incredible stuff in the linked thread: an actual coder goes through the leaked Claude source. 10k's of lines of steaming ai-generated slop. it's like they put 50 first year juniors in a room, let them go at it with no supervision, and hailed the result as a revolution. deeply embarrassing

reminder LA was found guilty in court recently for forging documents lying about why they tossed an unhoused woman's work supplies repeatedly during sweeps

WTF. Also...Gift Link so you can inform yourself as to this particular horror.

As an (undiagnosed) autistic person myself, I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE. 🌈❤️🤩

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

"no politics" is like saying "i have no accent"

As someone whose American heritage 100% predates consistent record-keeping, I could not prove my right to be a US citizen except by birthright, or weeks to months of painstaking research at county historical societies up & down the Great Appalachian Valley. This is not a reasonable standard.

Be careful online today. This is the one day a year when people post false information on the internet

you don’t have to know much world history to look at this map and immediately see why the entire western hemisphere has birthright citizenship

Nonchalant animal noises This is what the internet is made for 😭😭🤣🤣

Good piece: bsky.app/profile/torr...

Y'all, @elienyc.bsky.social is who you want to follow today in this thread about the birthright citizenship Trump has brought before SCOTUS. Entertaining AND informative!

Yup, and unlike the Covid pandemic, there isn't a 😷 I can wear to protect me from these effects. 😑

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Just a few days ago, America saw the biggest public political demonstration in the nation's history. 8 million people across the country. Virtually no violence, no incidents of any kind. An absolutely remarkable phenomenon. I'm reminding you because the media's forgotten already.

Gorgeous! (Also, I need to reread "The Yellow Wallpaper.")

TDoV posts from high-profile allies are great, because they appear to invite commentary from the community re: matters that urgently need to be addressed. The best way to demonstrate the visibility of trans people is by signaling that you've seen and heard their concerns!

Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)

"When you’ve seen one Long COVID patient, you’ve seen one Long COVID patient…We need providers to understand that this is not a silver bullet issue." New report from me in @thesicktimes.org on a recent hybrid forum on treating IACCs. thesicktimes.org/2026/03/30/c...

Today is #TransDayofVisibility. I wrote about how the possibility for change that transness represents benefits everyone, because it is the same possibility that maybe other parts of our lives can be better too. 💖🤍💙 xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

I wish I were surprised but I'm not. Hospitals scare the crap out of me because of stories like this.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

The Knesset passed a bill today mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror - but not for Jews. There is a word for a legal system where different legal standards apply to different categories of people. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Over the past 50yrs, the US population has aged significantly, w/ the % of people age 65+ nearly doubling. The country has also become more racially & ethnically diverse. [more Latino & Asian]. Following 70M+ immigrant arrivals, the % of foreign-born people in the population has more than tripled

The newly appointed College Republicans political director #KaiSchwemmer is pro-slavery, anti-abortion and accepts a supporter’s description of him as “the Mormon Nick Fuentes” – referring to the white-nationalist influencer, whose platform Schwemmer streamed on for years. #WarningUSStudents ‼️

I have yet to see a piece in a prominent MAGA outlet that seeks to understand what motivated No Kings protesters. It’s all just “they were paid” or “they have TDS.” Meanwhile, the Tea Party inspired an avalanche of think pieces and books from centrists and leftists trying to figure it out.

This sounds like it'll be great.

It's 2026, and literally everything is designed to give you as much psychic damage as possible.

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit. An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.

The story of Dr. Joyce Brothers is amazing!

After years of seeing people act like you get a general strike by just having a tweet that says “general strike tomorrow” go viral, it is nice to see people actually laying the groundwork for a general strike.

Eternally after their next Fell For It Again award

Excellent advice. People tend to hide economic distress, but talking with loved ones about how to cope strengthens their resilience to small shocks. Family and friends better understand why someone is unable to join certain activities, and are more willing to adapt. Do it. Talk about it.

As an author, I treat the boneyard as a resource. Its gravestones are lithic library. Rarely will I walk its paths without being gifted a character's name, a tale to tell. It whispers to me. The dead desire to talk and it would be rude to ignore them. – #CLNolan
