A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

I am part of the problem (Christmas tree up on November 8).

If you have a James Watson story you'd like to share with me, DM me here or msg me on signal, dsamorod.25

Flu shot acquired today! The CDC's flu tracker has not been updated since the shutdown (last update Sept 30) so it's no easy task to find what's happening nationally at the moment. If you haven't yet gotten your vaccine, now is a good time to do so, prior to any holiday gatherings and travel.

This obit of Watson is *amazing*.

Same.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

please don't @ me like "actually cerium is unique among the lanthanides for its +4 oxidation state" ⚗️🧪 #chemsky

I thought we were going to war against religious persecution...

Who has played a Kineticist in #Pathfinder2e or wants to? What are your thoughts/questions? #ttrpg

Season 4 of wheel of time would have been so good 😢

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: https://scim.ag/4qFrPON

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

I really love this: What does a scientist look like? Children are drawing women more than ever before #WomenInStem www.science.org/content/arti...

Bonjourrrr

Say what

The government forcing employees to mouth its partisan messages always seemed like more of a constitutional violation rather than (just) a Hatch Act violation

Well, it took a bit over a year and around $100 worth of paperbacks, but I just finished the last book of The Wheel of Time. It was good. Recommended. #wot #wotskies

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Happy Women in Physics Day to all of the amazing women and gender minorities in physics!! We are still greatly under-represented at all levels, so we need to continue encouraging girls and young women to consider studying physics and make systemic changes to the climate in the field. ⚛️ 🎢 👩‍🔬 🧪

It didn't peak with "Honestly, who throws a shoe?"

Raise a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight and honor her memory and scientific contributions

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Is there any way that we - voters and citizens - can stop Congress’s paychecks? They won’t work. They shutdown Congress. They are cutting our services. They are taking food from children. Why should they be paid?

Just found out I will be getting my Covid jabs from now on! I don’t qualify as a carer- despite the fact I’m the sole carer for 2 disabled pensioners, one of whom is immune compromised- but it turns out I qualify in my own right due to the fact I had major heart surgery as a child Happy days!

This weekend is a great time to get your flu vaccine

...oh they really did hire Bubs.

Reminder: You don't have to spend 18+ hours watching a TV show you don't like. You're allowed to just walk away and get back to your life.

For all the freakin times I was told growing up to "avoid even the appearance of evil..."

"You guys, we ARE just talkin about Bubs with a papataped to his shirt, right?"

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

The judge ordered prosecutors to produce evidence by the end of the day on Thursday following concerns that the Justice Department was trying to "indict first" and investigate second. n.pr/496t6bm

I got served a sponsored ad for my own products!

I've just watched the first episode of the Wheel of Time. I am hooked! Fight with beast men on the first episode! And world building! I hope it stays as fun #fantasy #wheeloftime #series

"Why would I ever set my thermostat to heat and cool?"

Something I really do respect what I've seen of #WheelOfTime is that it looked at a party of adventurers and said "you're all the chosen one, just for different things" and I believe that's something that us in #TTRPG could learn from when writing adventures and running campaigns.

Maybe there are some things that just shouldn't have made it to the show. 😭 #WheelOfTime

RFK Jr. released a video to the Minamata Convention on Mercury where he lied about vaccines. He said “no amount of mercury should ever be injected into a child” & urged a global ban on thimerosal-containing vaccines. Good thing: no child IS injected with mercury. 1/

For the Pathfinder world, this is Val Kilmer <--> Valeros.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

A little hope this morning. As a treat.

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

Breaking the Republican, super majority in Mississippi legislature is currently depending on a race with a 13 vote margin. Every vote matters.

Okay so when do we gather at a sporting event and get misunderstood by a reporter so we can get cheeky bumper stickers?

Trump is going to need this.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.
