My heart is broken for our trans brothers and sisters in Kansas. It says a lot that nearly no one who isn't trans is speaking up about it.

Social justice and environmental justice are inextricably linked.

in Detroit it seems like we have a ton of nurses crossing the border into the US everyday from Windsor still. Not too much traffic going the other way

I’m going into the office today instead of wfh so of course I’m wearing a nice yet comfy dress, aka work pajamas

1] There are too many weak arguments in this article to address in one thread. But none of them are new; they have been repeated over many years - though each has been refuted. Given burgeoning evidence of the role of invasions in biodiversity loss, it's time to confront this anti-science bias.🧵

Me. I'm a mad scientist. (Paul Noth cartoons)

Imagine if hospitals announced "We've recently made the tough decision to halt open heart surgeries because the details of it makes some in the general public uncomfortable. They feel that the procedure is 'unnatural' and we have no choice but to capitulate."

I’ll jump on the AI train when it can accurately tell me why my cat is currently yelling at me. Until it can do that, it has no use to me

I love that when my family sends me stuff in the mail, they address it to "Dr. Anna Bagels"! My dad surprise shipped me some custom all-weather floor mats for my car lolololol parents gonna parent, no matter how old you are

Wow Governor that is tremendous. Today we awoke to the news that DTE our local energy provider just received the Third $250 million increase in 2 years. It is unbearable as well as unconscionable in the present economic crisis. Wish you could convince our governor to actually care about it again

I just can’t with the word “disseminate”, for so many reasons. “Distribute” works just fine!

Sometimes there is a huge dichotomy between my professional and personal lives, but every so often the 2 merge, like when I realized you can basically go electrofishing in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

There’s always a place for you on Solidarity Street. Solidarity with our union siblings at @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social #UnionsForAll #UnionMemes

I hate pictures of myself, but I have to send a headshot for this thing. Can I send a pic of a cicada instead? It's really what I would prefer to look like

It’s actually terribly inefficient to have every employee spending 20% of their energy eying future employment prospects bc they don’t know if their job is more than 9 months of stable paychecks.

Ughhh I’ve been sinus sick for a week thanks to this midwinter melt and poor air quality. Really glad a few billionaires have more resources than they could ever use though, the pollution and rolled back regulations were really worth it…

A Nuclear Shift Buoyed by Billions, and the Waters of the Great Lakes COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. – As a study in troubled operation, the Palisades Nuclear Plant once was ranked by the federal government as one of the four worst-performing nuclear power stations in the country.

ok i promise to myself that I'm done procrastinating writing this morning. I can be irreverent again in 1 hour

Sminty didn't know the words to the Bananas in Pajamas song, and Banarama didn't know the lyrics to Kate Butch's verse. Michelle Visage was pressed about everything, as usual and Gawdland said "PERIOD!" that's my recap of Drag Race: UK vs The World S3

My spouse thinks it's gross that the cats drink out of my water glass, but at this point I'm 99% toxoplasmosis and cat fur anyway plus if you tell a cat "no", they'll do it even more just to spite you

one of the teachers told my dad that I had an attitude problem because I tried making jokes (that didn't land) during practice driving. I always knew that guy was/is an asshole, but I now know that I'm neurodivergent!

Happy Year of the (Red) Horse! 🐎 The redhorses (Moxostoma) are a group of some 20 native sucker species found in North America. While they're sometimes mistaken for invasive carp, redhorses are actually indicators of healthy ecosystems

The fatigue caused by chronic pain multiplies this type of disability. the only meds that help my pain also make me even more sleepy I feel like this is fundamental to understand how i operate on a day-to-day basis. sorry in advance if im ever cranky :)

My parents sent me pics of mom’s cousin Matt Locricchio as a dancing extra in American Graffiti (1973). Mom sent this pic of them as young adults, I kinda look like her. She was going blind and pregnant! Her Locricchio family also built Pine Knob! Sicilians in construction and cement, of course.

had this conversation with my advisor recently that i felt really demoralized every time something controversial was said at open (to grad students) department meetings and none of the faculty pushed back because it felt like the rest of the faculty tacitly agreed with the controversial statement

"Many of us are struggling with the mental aspects of what we are asked to do, who we are needed to be in this moment; I won’t deny the night terrors, the cracked molars, the irritability that grows from the need to continue doing capitalism while children are being caged."

Presidents Day? Really? Not celebrating any oppression today, let's just ditch that idea right now. Happy Black History

Can I be iso-gender? Not cis, not quite trans, somewhere in the middle? is that a thing or am I being ignorant lol

reading this while in the waiting room at the pain clinic (im also masked!)

Beans for breakfast is the best SIL was randomly in town overnight for a gig so I picked up foowl/foul, fasolia, Yemeni scrambled eggs, knufah pistachio pancakes, and qawah drinks from Dellah Cafe! It’s Valentine’s Day, treat yourself!

I used to be affiliated w/ NOAA, and the first time Lutnick gave a town hall I was like, "oh that coked out loser is def on the Epstein list" and sure 'nuff! Even before he was officially called out, there was info the 2 had real estate deals == how rich people launder $$

nobody accidentally or innocently gets a nazi tattoo lol fuck that guy in the middle idk even know what his lying ass name is, all I know is he was hoping to hide the fact that he had a nazi tattoo

It is so fundamentally obscene and offensive that any data centre developer feels brave enough to tout "jobs created" as selling point when the core selling point of the product they offer is to explicitly cut as many jobs as possible www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I love the quote from Jennifer English about not pointing fingers, but asking, “how can we work together to solve water quality issues?” we need food, we need clean water, so how can farmers and water quality managers combine their powers for good?!

lmao at people leaning about the Moroun family and how they privately own the busiest US-Canada border crossing (until the Gordie Howe Bridge opens, anyway!). They should also look up the history of Michigan Center Station for more info on how shitty this family is.

Ugh having major anxieties because of how shit I was treated at a previous job. Why does my brain still care?!
