At the Asheville regional airport. Fuck these people.

Just got a grant that allows us to offer a free sample philosophy ethics short story fiction books for educators. No strings attached. And yes, we pay for shipping too. buff.ly/xreh14w

Canadian obstetricians and gynecologists continue to endorse the use of acetaminophen. Their position is part of the response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims that Tylenol use during pregnancy and childhood is linked to autism. #Canada www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. It’s about dehumanization and debasement. It’s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Reading Rainbow… is back! 🥹 This LeVar Burton/Reading Rainbow raised human is feeling all of the library joy. We hope your kids believe they belong in books, just like you ✨ Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋🌌 youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

there are two yellow spotted monitors living in my yard and today they were both foraging on the lawn at the same time

we must refuse to debate the worth of other people. We must agree that everyone has value at a human level, and that it’s not tied to their health, their job or their bank account. When we start allowing ourselves to debate someone’s worth, we’ve already lost. You are worthy, just as you are.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

For those who don't know... people born on land inside the yellow area are US citizens.

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

They’re kicking Black men out of the military over beards. Three out of five Black servicemen have pseudofolliculitis barbae which is a painful skin condition caused by shaving. This is blatant discrimination.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

Hello! Have you made something recently? A drawing, an object, a game, a meal, a child, whatever? May I see it and will you tell me about it? I need to counterbalance the terrible shit everywhere all the time

a sunset I caught the other evening

I wrote this. I didn't choose the headline, which with all respect to my awesome editors I do not like. I also missed the PIC part of this. which I greatly regret. Otherwise I stand by it. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Hey, if anyone knows a four star general, could you tell them thanks for not applauding? A couple boos would have been nice, but the complete silence was fun too.

Alder Devoti doesn't know what he's talking about. Soulardians started driving golf carts on S Tucker to Field Foods in 2013. Downtown tax district's clean team used golf carts for a decade. Devoti's golf cart experience in the neighborhood of his tax abated home may be new to him but not others.

The first, and only so far, birdcam video today features an extreme closeup of a cute, chubby, tired, little Mr Finch. #birds

Happy Zoo Animals Smashing Pumpkins month to all who celebrate 🎃

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

THIS.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Did you know that since 1999 an independent group of global experts called the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) has been providing WHO evidence-based recommendations on #vaccines?

Californians are already receiving notices that their health care costs will skyrocket if the ACA tax credits aren’t extended. I want to hear how this is impacting YOU. Let me know through the link below.

We shrug off listeria recalls like seasonal allergies—11 from Boar’s Head last year, pasta this year. At this point why even pretend the US has food safety when “contaminated again” is basically the grocery store’s weekly flyer? PS. that boars head plant is reopening

OMG! Mychal did it. Anyone who first caught this wonderful human gaining an audience on TikTok knew there was something special happening. What an incredible journey and story. Promoting reading and libraries is so damn important right now, and I can't think of a better ambassador.

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*. Yes: free. If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Sleep Sweet, BlueSky 💙

So, exactly *who* is acceptable to sacrifice to gun violence, since…you know, Bill of Rights and amendments and all? Who is an appropriate & acceptable person-or group of people-to be killed in order for you to have access to guns as you desire?

Where did 1000 detainees from „Alligator Alcatraz“ disappear? #USDemocracy Call the alarm bells every day!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Almost 7pm, half an hour after sunset and one of the young yard bunnies is having a late dinner or maybe dessert. Desert cottontail #mammals

Sometimes you have to smush a dog’s face, perhaps with your feet, for mental health. #dogsofbluesky
