NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Huge news. Good news. Notice that it’s not American scientists… because Trump & RFK, Jr. have destroyed this country’s scientific community.

of course, this shit happens all the time to women across academia (and professionally) and damages their careers every single time don’t try to fuck your students, don’t try to fuck your mentees

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation

I am also happy to help you edit a document for work or school. I am way better than an AI or robot!!

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Just last week, I got a compliment on an eShakti dress. I was sad to tell the person asking that they’re gone.

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

please believe erin. and to my chronically ill and disabled folks who could never attend a protest even w excellent accessibility and no ableism, bc of the nature/severity of our illnesses/disabilities: you're good. as erin says, our very existence is resistance. bedridden existence counts.

(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)

Kansas City MO The Humane Society’ of Greater KC's cat shelter was damaged by recent flooding and is closed at this tme. No animals were harmed. The shelter is also seeking people who are willing to help make repairs, according to the post. www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...

Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen. This is madness.

Let's all roll with...

Neighbors have money to literally burn, setting off fireworks.

Folks, exactly 5 years ago today I made this offer, & I'll do it again. Many graduate students are in danger of losing their one field season for collecting data- in March 2020 because of the pandemic, now because of Musk-Trump BS. This means that many won't be able to finish graduate school. 🧪🧵

Anyway what you probably need right now is not politics but a bunch of tiny lambs being hooligans and miscreants.

Unrelated to the horrors: I need a dog sitter with experience training dogs for obedience and walking on-leash without acting like this is Iditarod. Any recs? I know a lot of my followers are KC Metro, I’m in OP. Please help, my new dog is ungovernable

There is a display case that a former coworker kept up to date. She is gone and it is increasingly out of date. I don't say anything because I don't want to become responsible. This must be how hubby feels when he just "doesn't see" the dirty dishes!

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

No pictures because I am not that coordinated. My orange kitty is in the "leaping high to catch the toy on a string" phase. Sometimes when she leaps, legs outstretched and claws extended, my monkey brain goes "help! I am being attacked by a tiger!"

Where are all the Bluesky shiba accounts?

Maybe if we all boycott flying commercial flights until we are assured of a safe and sane federal workforce? I know the air traffic controllers are doing their best, but this is just insane.

Hopefully, by now you've all been warned that xylitol is toxic☠️ to dogs🐶. Let's talk about *why*. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, added to diet and sugar-free foods because we can only digest it very slowly, and never really metabolize it; both of which can be good.
