Set in the 80s in Texas. Slashers have rules. A really great read. @sgj.bsky.social

Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go on— fanlore.org/wiki/Timelin...

My parents were able to put food on the table because of foodstamps. The fact that 42 million people are about to lose SNAP benefits breaks my heart.

Also I did so many chest X-rays today of patients with flu and COVID symptoms today. It's bad out there. Get vaccinated, wear a mask, and wash your hands.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve been selected as a winner of the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications @scicommexcellence.nationalacademies.org!! Learn more: www.nationalacademies.org/news/2025/10... #scicomm

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

The photo: The comments you will laugh at:

y’all gotta stop telling dark skinned girls they’re ugly because they’re dark skinned. a lot of us carry that with us for our entire lives.

Thats why you cant give rabid river squirrels a chance.

“Sick and elderly Canadians who have refused to end their lives via MAiD have reported being called selfish by their providers” This is happening in Canada Disabled people have assisted dying suggested to them when what they need is care Unsurprisingly, it happens most to those living in poverty

Mind you, the states that allow marriage between children and adults do not allow said married children to divorce their adult spouse Because they're children

The blanket use of "pregnant women" doesn't just erase the existence of trans and nonbinary people who can and do get pregnant, it also implies that every pregnant child is an adult, which is pretty fucking disgusting in a country that widely allows legal marriage between children and adults

why the black YA girlies love interracial relationships? 🫤

I keep bringing up Katrina because I need yall to understand that Katrina was the beginning of a new normal most of yall not comfortable with acknowledging.

Remembering the time we went to get our marriage license, and the guy at the desk was like “Ok. Are either of you currently married to anyone else?” And we were like, “…no? Wouldn’t that have come up already if we were?” And he goes, “You would be surprised.”

She really ate this. White ppl did eat with the 😐 face. I give it to them too. The comment were SENDING Me, posting some in the comments.

OKAY PEOPLE YOU KNOW THE DRILL: HIT THAT FOLLOW BUTTON This is a Canadian small press, with a Canadian editor, so LET'S GET THOSE CANADIAN CLICKS (worldwide clicks also appreciated and loved equally, but I can't bully you in the same manner as I can Canadians) www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyc...

"COVID-19 continued to cause about the same number of monthly work absences year-round as occurred during peak influenza months, a team that includes Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) researchers has found." Source: archive.li/z10Zl

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

470,060 scientific papers on COVID-19….almost 30K specific to kids: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cor...

one of the consistently interesting things about ACA criticism since it was signed into law is how critics discount or ignore the medicaid expansion

that the authors of this work put together a detailed review of the literature. The author list consists of distinguished and highly published researchers in both the #LongCOVID and #HIV research world and I would argue that they have earned thoughtful discourse around the 14/

This paper was published last week about #COVID, #LongCOVID and its parallels. First, despite the provocative title, I urge people to read the paper the whole way through, rather than making assumptions about what you presume the paper will conclude. t.co/Mqf822zWJV 1/

There is a huge surge of scabies and it's linked to immuno-incompetence. The herd is weakened by sars2 mass-infection policies, so we see a surge in bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic diseases all across the board. It's the underlying factor.

Four years ago today, I lost the manuscript to the book I was writing. It was a devastating blow. Here, I write about how I picked myself up and started again. gareths-newsletter.ghost.io/what-do-you-...

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

I’m watching a report that says most protein powders contain more lead than is medically safe. Apparently plant-based protein powders contain 9X the lead dairy-based products do. Just eat real food y’all

Also, we don’t need 5 seasoning salts for those meals: Lawry’s, Perfect Seasoning, Adobo, Chicken bouillon, Tony’s Creole, Garlic Salt….. Got damn. I already have hypertension from you whooping my ass as a child.

On the school library side, I've been telling teachers "prompt engineering" isn't a thing. Furthermore, it's not my job to teach kids how to use one specific piece of software but to teach them interdisciplinary and cross-platform research skills.

October, November December are cold weather months and holiday months. They are already hard on families financially. This will devastate so many

earlier today someone showed me a picture of their baby and said "that's not even AI that's just what she looks like" and I am still thinking about the implications of that statement

I know a lot of people use AI for recipes. Going to an actual website is so much better because people in the comments will tell you how to tweak it or make improvements based on a variety of preferences or mistakes they’ve made.

Enough to believe it should be in a museum.

Q. Can you write? A. Not well. Q. Were any of your family members in the Manson Family? A. Yes. Q. Here's your contract. We will publish your shitty student writing and send you on a publicity tour.

This extended to internship, fellowship, and scholarship applications, by the way. I don't know if it's still going on, but there was a grotesque trend of "tell us about overcoming adversity" in which students from low-income families had to show-pony their trauma, but in an optimistic, upbeat way.

There is an opportunity for someone who's really smart to examine how and why the early 2010s really conflated "creative career" with "commodification of one's self," (between this, the mommyblogging industrial complex, the rise of influencers, etc.) & how that's affected modern political discourse.

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

In 1995, they decided Rap had become so mainstream & popular they no longer needed “Yo! MTV Raps” during a Golden Era. This meant GZA, Redman & Method Man, Junior Mafia, Mobb Deep, Onyx, Fugees, etc. videos were played between Bjork, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt, Silverchair & Oasis ones…

So a couple people have now hinted at the idea that Black people didn’t have it so bad post-9/11 because Muslims had it bad. This ignores that there were and are a lot of Black Muslims. This also ignores that more than one group of people can be targeted for state violence. It’s never just one group

the post 9/11 that included an expanded Stop-And-Frisk under Bloomberg?

there’s a distinction between self-care and self-maintenance/grooming. once you find the line for you, it’s less of a burden to carry both.

Rising anesthetist costs and declining reimbursement are squeezing rural and safety-net hospitals. Health systems are training more CRNAs and streamlining operations. But those efforts may not be enough to stave off service cuts. Read more here, thanks for your time: bit.ly/43dD2Md
