Telling people “put that in the Louvre” then dashing off to stand outside the Louvre in my dapper fedora and cape and become a viral dandy sensation.

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Your periodic reminder that people blithely saying things like 'Shop around!' to minimise price rises almost always relies on women spending large amounts of unpaid time having to go to 6 different places just for groceries. I could list others - so many money-savers are just 'women's free time'

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

With much gratitude to everyone who supported the wonderful #STAMPS summer course at the MBL, I share that STAMPS will not be offered in 2026. 💔😿

Opportunity! Anybody knows of young marine ecologists (within 7 years from earned PhD) that would like to come to Gothenburg, Sweden, for a nationally funded Assistant Professorship? It is highly competitive but well funded. (1) of (3)

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Democratic leadership: YOU MUST VOTE HARDER. Democratic voters: VOTE SUPER HARD IN MASSIVE NUMBERS AND FLIP SEATS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY Democratic leadership: WE’RE CAVING. LULZ.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

They did not in fact understand the assignment

Regardless of fox’s actual rabies status. This is your reminder vaccinate for rabies. Always. Even if indoor only. The ONLY way to test for rabies is euthanize the animal and remove brain tissue. There is no live test for rabies and your state/local health department will not play

This be how it going.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

NEWS — FDA announces 13 cases of infant botulism across 10 states after babies were given ByHeart powder formula from two specific lots.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

“When government employees enter public service, they do not sign away their First Amendment rights," U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper wrote in his decision on Friday, "and they certainly do not sign up to be a billboard for any given administration's partisan views."

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

The “canonical” story how Rosalind Franklin got wronged by Watson and Crick inadvertently makes her look far less scientifically competent than she was (“She did not realize the significance of her own data!”). This article offers a much more nuanced account of what happened.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

The worst part is how the USA is the richest country in the world but yet cant be bothered to care for its citizens

In the richest country in the world.

Here’s what’s even more appalling. There are millions more in need of SNAP but their guidelines are too stringent. A family of 3 with only one working at say 20/hr does not qualify for SNAP. Or both work at 10/hr. That’s around 2400/mo take home!! The income gap is frightening in this country!

I wish cis people understood how it feels to see Harry Potter every-fucking-where constantly.

Fucking sucks.

Today is an important day in the turning of the seasons: I'm gonna swap the garage positions of the snowblower and the lawnmower.

One of the most important Midwestern annual rituals.

I think a lot of us were unaware just how many families were using SNAP, because it’s framed as shameful to need help. I’m now at the point where I think all schools should have free breakfast, lunch, snack and after school snacks for kids in activities or aftercare.

Attendance at my school was really high this week. It didn’t occur to me that it was likely related to food scarcity at home until Friday. We have free lunch and breakfast for all students at school.

Got up early on a Saturday morning and ran 2 miles. I've got a ways to go before I'm ready to run the Girls on the Run 5k with K1 but as a person who does NOT willingly run I'm pretty proud of myself. The things we do for our kids.... ❤️

Yea, we need to address WHY so many of us require food assistance

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

Hungary 1956 'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rédei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket. The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

The man who ended USAID is the world's first trillionaire

I had no idea that as many as 1 in 8 Americans relied on SNAP ONE IN EIGHT I'm sick over my students, kids' classmates, & neighbors who are hungry right now But I'm furious that we live in a society where *1 in 8 need food assistance as our status quo*. That this is our normal is APPALLING

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
