Remember the 1920s when nobody was left-handed

When you're grumpy because three annoying ghosts kept you up all night.

Today, 1.25 million kids will spend the holiday without their parent because of mass incarceration.

You can be clear-eyed about what happened without reading about child sexual abuse in granular detail. I promise.

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name. "These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

Do you want hookworm? Because this is how you get hookworm

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

The Catch of the Day: our third line 🤩🐟

A C-list anti-vaxxer wanted to know if I was really stupid enough to believe that vaccines work by preventing disease, not infection. Yes, if “stupid” means 200 years of evidence History class is in session. Do you know why vaccines are called vaccines? rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/how-vaccin...

Nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital voted overwhelmingly Monday to authorize a strike. Electronic voting ended at 1 p.m. with a vast majority of nurses voting. The voting results came as nurses were sharing their proposal with the hospital.

These nurses deserve a fair contract that ensures patient safety, nurses’ rights, compensation for nurses injured by workplace violence, and the union's strength. I hope the hospital will avoid a strike by agreeing to a fair contract. www.wsna.org/news/2025/se... @wsna.bsky.social

Fucking hate this

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

"My most daring idea is to refuse." YES.

it's extremely strange to me that there was like, a six-ish year period where acceptance of trans people happened extremely rapidly and access to care expanded and now it's being pulled back even faster

“NIH is in crisis, grants are being terminated, labs are closing….but they found $1.6 million for an unsolicited proposal to study whether we should delay a vaccine we’ve been safely giving for 40 years, in a country where infants are at high risk of infection” www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

The entire right-wing backlash we're living through is people who are furious about being told exactly that by other minorities

This is pretty much everything the vandals accuse federal science funders of doing wrong: money to foreign scientists for a fundamentally unethical experiment on children

Accurate. Wanted: productive elves willing to work for cookies and whisky.

FOUR REPUBLICANS just signed the House Democratic discharge petition to force a House vote on the Hakeem Jeffries bill to extend health care tax credits for 3 years: Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Mike Lawler (NY), Rob Bresnahan (PA), and Ryan Mackenzie (PA). Gives it the required 218 signatures. Huge news

This is exactly right - if it's already at the stage where Vought is tweeting out the hit, no downside to pushing back. Every climate journalist or science organizer in the country has a job to do tonight. Someone at NSF has to carry this order out, and it can very much be gummed up if not stopped

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

In some ways shit like this is convenient. When someone tells you who they are, LISTEN.

These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

📽️Please allow us to present our latest Lee lab production: Holding lab equipment like men hold their fish 🪝🐟 Is it just us, or do y'all also get unreasonably attached to your favorite tools of the trade?? (all credit to @kcs-umasslowell.bsky.social for giving us this idea for a REEL good time🎣)

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Not only is workday a clunky, pita platform it is also racist. I’m Shocked. Shocked, I tell you

It's structural racism for the future

The thing is, you can't make trans and intersex people nonexistent, you can only make them suffer.

Fucking asshole is a menace

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Some people took down entire websites, changed mission statements and mandates or dropped entire projects at the start of this year But kept the job Kept the title and kept posting online telling other people what they can do to save the world But couldn’t even hold the line themselves.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

BREAKING: In Minden, NV, striking baristas are now arriving at Starbucks's distribution center for western states! From PA to NV, we're showing the world how urgent it is for Starbucks to listen to their workers. It's time for a fair first contract and for Starbucks to resolve ULPs NOW.

The thing you need to understand about the Right is that they are absolutely fine just plain burning down higher education if taking it over ideologically doesn’t work. They’re perfectly happy reducing it to ashes.

I have thought this for a while, & that an obvious advantage for tutorial-system universities like Oxford is that it’s quite hard to use AI to cheat your way through an hour 1:1 or 1:2 in person with an expert, or in supervised exams. Which is why it’s so stupid of them to have partnered with OpenAI

What a world to go to bed thinking about one mass shooting and wake up to news of another, a targeted hate crime, at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. And also in the video where an actual hero, Ahmed al Ahmed chooses not to kill one of the terrorists.

I started getting reports of an unseasonal Joshua tree bloom in the last few weeks, and looking over records on @inaturalist.bsky.social it's pretty widespread! So we're putting out the call for folks to record this "bonus bloom" and help us study it 🌿 lab.jbyoder.org/2025/12/10/w...

These people are causing destruction that extends far beyond changing regulatory policy. The consequences of Makary’s leadership failure will be measured in sick, disabled, and dead people. Makary must be removed and his deeds must not be forgotten. bsky.app/profile/save...

This is so horrific, and I’m so angry that the people at Brown are living through this 💔

Zoe Weissman - survivor of 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, FL Mia Tretta - survivor of 2019 Saugus High School shooting in Santa Clarita, CA Both are now students at Brown University in Providence, RI.

“Approximately 140 students are still hiding in the building” Absolutely horrifying

Mass shooting events are not the natural order of things.

I am a student at Brown in communication with a friend at RIBC. There is an urgent need for blood donations to support RI. Donations in NY, NJ, MN, NB, DE or NJ can help supply RI. Spread the word. www.ribc.org/donate-blood/

BREAKING: Seattle Children's Hospital successfully fought this summer to get DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena quashed. The Seattle court partially unsealed the case this week. This was the fourth, previously sealed case mentioned in this recent Law Dork report: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

we're in such a strange moment where legal rights and basic protections for queer people are being aggressively rolled back and yet the cultural acceptance and normalization keeps rolling along, which is good, except for when people literally can't comprehend that rights are vanishing

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork
