Yes! Finally someone breaking down the actual biology. We’re not “ideology”we’re real. Thanks for fighting the misinformation. 🏳️‍⚧️

yo, u in the wrong neighborhood

"the crew is in excellent shape" in fact, one of them is... STRONGER than EVER. and another... seems to be INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE... and another...

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

>catastrophically lose an expeditionary war of choice against Persia >threaten the Pope himself with personal violence >heavy handed promulgation of state religion for social cohesion >misguided attempts to shrink the central bureaucracy Fuck it welcome back Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate

There is no McTry.

Anyone who says “the eagles could have just flown Frodo to Mt Doom” doesn’t know what they’re talking about. The whole point of the mission is secrecy. The eagles would have been fought by the Nazgûl the whole time and immediately tipped the fellowship’s plans to Sauron

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process. Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.

I want the Iditarod 😄

The marsh rabbit is the ultimate swamp trickster. Unlike its dry-land cousins, this "phantom" swims and dives to outwit the alligator. It’s a classic battle of wits where the small and clever always finds a way to stay one hop ahead of the jaws. #SwampSunday #Okefenokee #Folklore

Columbia suspended, expelled, and retroactively revoked degrees in proceedings that were so arbitrary and capricious they were overturned by a NY state judge. Literally the only evidence Columbia submitted came from sealed records of dismissed arrests—records that Columbia shouldn't have even had.

i'm not exactly sure what "race communism" is but i'm intrigued and would like to give it a try

2014 me vs me now

posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism

We’re living under a racist fascist kleptocracy and @nytimes.com is asking the hard hitting journalistic questions.

Don't buy toilet paper just use old issues of WaPo to wipe your ass

Hey poors! You don't deserve to use the toilet. That's why you ain't got no money. And stop spending food stamps on candy! It should be gruel with pebbles in it.

i mean if anybody is hiring in LA, i'm available! i’m a best-selling + award-winning writer, i have comics / animation / game dev / concept art / character design experience, and i work on one of the largest multimedia franchises in the world (sonic) 🎨 iasminomarata.com 📨 [email protected]

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

How come every time there's a ceasefire anywhere in the world Israel is exempt?

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

This isn’t a lamentable side effect of these products. It’s the actual reason they exist.

I am not invested in the left as a briar patch of subcultures. I am invested in the left as an ecosystem of political projects, many of which have overlapping interests and concerns. These approaches are not interchangeable and are sometimes diametrically opposed.

A historic, predominantly African American megachurch in Virginia has donated more than $1 million to help pay off the debts of over 300 families in local public housing. www.christianpost.com/news/black-m...

We didn't deserve this day.

"It is not hope. It is the specific exhaustion of people who have been denied hope for so long that the mere postponement of catastrophe registers as reprieve. We celebrated nothing. We simply exhaled."

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Oracle just fired 30,000 workers via email after a 95% profit surge - tech companies are cutting almost 1,000 jobs/day ⚠️ All the while, we give them tax reductions and incentives with the promise of job creation... We need to change course and support smaller businesses instead

This whiplash where the president terrifies the world for a few days with unhinged threats and then says “never mind” and then there’s this implication that anyone scared of his unhinged threats was overreacting is very domestic abuse but make it a country.

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

This is like being under the abusive family patriarchy and the enabling/ abused syncophants

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

I’m a survivor of domestic violence; I’m familiar with the pattern of making you unsure what they will do.

I honestly suspect that he vacillates like this in order to push what people will accept as a norm. The news cycle has moved on from him kidnapping the president of Venezuela, or threatening to invade Greenland, or colonizing Palestine or— it’s not distraction. It’s abuser behaviour.

It’s called the Cycle of Abuse or the Walker Wheel: calm followed by rising tension, the explosion of violence, the reconciliation, the incremental intensification of violence over time.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

"Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old freshman at USC, attended a 'No Kings' protest in Los Angeles on Mar. 28. He ended up getting shot in the eye with a less-lethal projectile by a Department of Homeland Security agent and is now blind."

A @kimkelly.bsky.social byline is always an automatic click for me but this @orionmagazine.bsky.social piece on building solidarity across climate and labor is SO GOOD.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t
