I’m so woke, I believe in full LGBTQ rights, that we should protect the planet, that everyone deserves healthcare, that a nation cannot be Christian, that the world is bigger than America, and that to be "pro-life" means to treasure all of it.

When researchers stimulated cells to produce a protein that helps tardigrades survive extreme environments, the tissue showed much LESS DNA DAMAGE after radiation treatment. The study has been published in Nature. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. 🧪 •

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so let's talk about sex. Eel sex! Well...we can't, really. We don't know exactly where, or how, eels get busy. It's a 2000+ year old puzzle. It's not like we haven't tried. But the sex life of eels is a mystery smothered in secret sauce. 1/5 🗃️🧪

Stayed up way too late to finish Tom's Crossing by Danielewski. Excellent book. Not a fast or easy read, but there is a point where, once you reach it, stopping is a near-impossible thought.

This is marvelous, and my understanding is it would not have been unusual going way back to be inclusive in this way. Medieval friars using sign language is well documented: partly to say pass the salt when eating somewhere with a rule of silence, maybe as memory aids, but also for preaching/service

No system deserves praise for being “tough” on kids; a just society protects children first and debates policy later, because cruelty to the most vulnerable isn’t strength, it’s failure.
