Popping back in to say that I was able to achieve this small bit important dream last week and would do it again.

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

Marcelo Gomes Da Silva has lived in Milford since he was 5 years old. He’s a star student, athlete and plays in the high school band. He should be in school with friends and teammates — not in a detention center. I’m calling on ICE to do the right thing. Release Marcelo.

a little pick me up lol for the academics in the room

Wow. The #HandsOff protest in Boston is HUGE already! People refusing to lie down as Trump & Musk violate the Constitution. 👏👏 #Resist (🎥 Arthur Mansavage)

Can't wait for my cameo in Rhythm Heaven 2 next year.

I think people who try to seed fights on here often don't understand how quickly a lot of people now just ... mute. If you're, like, darkly hinting that you want to fight me and you're not telling me what the hell you're talking about because you assume I'll ask, I ... will not ask.

A calming moment from the tumult.

We got an electric car (no not that one) and every time my husband explains how to drive it I remember why he's a charge blade main and I'm just a simple hammer user.

In the wake of Friday’s Executive Order that could dramatically impact IMLS, ASTC encourages all who support museums and libraries to contact their elected representatives at the state and federal levels. www.astc.org/issues-polic... 1/5

We need your help TODAY to tell your governors and key members of the House and Senate that federal funding for libraries - the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) - needs to be preserved! action.everylibrary.org/emaileo2025

Subject: Urgent: Protect Library and Museum Funding — Oppose Elimination of IMLS

This is recounted in Elyse Graham's "Book and Dagger" which looks at the role of scholars and librarians in clandestine activity in WW2. Worth picking up. www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

“If she wants to know something specific, but doesn’t want people to notice her asking questions, she should simply make incorrect statements while in the company of experts. Her companions will correct her, especially if they're men.” - Advice for female agents in WW2, provided during SOE training

Trump and Musk are now attacking other agencies and institutions, including museums and libraries thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

Woods Hole, a community priveleged to host 6 world-class scientific institutions, will be hosting an event at Waterfront Park at noon Friday! Standing up for science is easy. Be there!

if you are east asian and not on the bone marrow registry, it takes very little time to sign up and we are dramatically underrepresented!

Thinking that I'll just buy a small ham and go to town on it like a feral dog just to relieve the permanent state of unrest I'm living in.

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Attended the Union of Concerned Scientist's webinar about protecting scientists engaged in advocacy and I think the most important message was: The more people who do it, the safer we all are. See the list of resources they shared below. Carry your weight and let others carry you!

Today's Oarfish is a graphic from DeviantArt! AdamZT2, who is a hobbyist and digital artist, made this lovely image of an Oarfish! #underwater #sealife #marine #fish #Oarfishdaily #marinelife

I have to admit that while I had a lot of anxieties about what was to come, I never in my wildest dreams imagined planes routinely falling out of the sky being one of them.

How do we close out a Valentine’s Day such as this. By saying we’re proud. Only 423 of us took the fork offer. And while Trump and Musk slashed 1 in 10 of us this week, others found a way to keep on working. Because unlike them, we take our oaths seriously. Take time to grieve. Don't give up hope. 🥄

Good morning. 💗 Valentine's Day can be a mixed bag for many – some are celebrating, while others are significant facing challenges.

WE NEED YOU! 🧪❤️

I used to laugh at the "I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread" Bilbo line, but boy do I get it now

The days may be long, but the Oarfish is even longer! Today's Oarfish comes from Let's build a zoo! You create your own animal empire with this cute, expansive management sim! #underwater #sealife #marine #fish #Oarfishdaily #marinelife (P.S, happy Valentines Day!)

Incredible.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

Monday. Are you staring around wondering what fresh hell awaits you this week? Same, friends, same. But we're in this together, and together we are strong.

Get in Dorks, we are going protesting. STAND UP FOR SCIENCE. MARCH 7th 12-4pm. DC AND YOUR STATE CAPITALS. More information to come.

Sitting here thinking about how to get around the nsf word list like I'm on a 2000s message board: w0m4n |31p0c <|3i c|_|l7|_|r411y r35p0/\/51\/3

For my museum friends new to BSky there's a Museum Ed feed that's worth pinning. I'm hoping other folks I knew on the previous site pop up here so I've been on the lookout 👀 bsky.app/profile/did:...
