No health care, no deal.

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.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

Dear humanity❗ I’m So Tired. 🥺 Look How They Destroyed My Kids 💔 My son Moeen is getting thinner every day because we have no food. My baby RIMA was born in a tent, under bombs. Never saw a cradle, never touched a home. Please help us survive 🙏 he1p: bit.ly/4myLaOt PayPa1: bit.ly/465vVY8

It is so important that care and support for Palestinian people continues. Jamal's family are rebuilding their lives after everything that has been done to Gaza--if you're able to give a donation, you can help them in that effort. ❤️

The bombing has ended, but its deep scars and devastating destruction still weigh heavily on our hearts. We still need your support; we still need your help. We are still reeling from the shock, but all our hope rests on you, my heroes. Please share my story.

If you’re in North Carolina, Tennessee or Florida be alert.

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

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!

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

I will have an opening for a Ph.D. student (M.S. required) to begin Summer 2026, studying impacts to high Appalachian arthropod communities following Hurricane Helene. I'll be at Ent. Soc. America meetings next week. Please point interested students my way. More: sites.google.com/site/caterin...

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

I need to tell you about this teacher. I once watched him at a party hold an entire room full of drinking, partying adults *utterly* captivated as he recounted the plot of a children's book. He's an amazing teacher, and he needs support!

Reposting to correct an error: trump admin is quietly gutting 13 buildings and about 100 laboratories at Goddard campus that has been instrumental to Hubble and James Webb telescope missions. Staff say they’ve be locked and told to move equipment. Anything left behind will be thrown away.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Them there eyes

Wishing the world peace and comfort this weekend 💚🌲💚

My children lost their mother, their school, their room once filled with laughter All they have now is a father hiding his pain behind a tired smile Each night they fall asleep dreaming of peace Help me bring back their warmth, their learning, and their innocent smiles 💔 chuffed.org/project/sharif

This is the Gaza we know | Gaza 2023 Before October 7

It was a terrible and frightening night.

Please Help Shira Make It Through This Month Shira is scared again — we are approaching the rent amount at the beginning of the next month so she can pay for her home, in addition to food and her medical consultation costs of €1200. gofund.me/6a8fe1395

it's dangerous to go alone take this lil rat with you

Gaza has no electricity, is dark, its roads are destroyed, there is no transportation, there are no homes, there is no water, everything is at an astronomical price, and the crossings are closed.

New paper today in @science.org: we date the Naashoibito Member (New Mexico) to 66.4–66.0 Ma, coeval with the Hell Creek, with important remarks on pre-extinction dinosaur diversity & regionalisation in North America 🦖🦕☄1/ Art: @nataliajagielska.bsky.social 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

More grace for a grown man getting a Nazi tattoo than Black kids in public spaces. It’s obscene.

"Oh no, we trained too many skilled researchers who want to improve human knowledge. What a tragedy!!!"

We survived the genocide in Gaza, but our dreams and ambitions did not. Everything was destroyed, but we still dream. Support us here to rebuild everything we lost and protect ourselves from the effects of this genocide. chuffed.org/project/1389...

More game mockups coming.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

A brilliant palaeontologist, Dr Tsogtbaatar, is facing a tough battle and needs help with medical expenses. Please consider donating or sharing the link: every bit truly helps. Thank you!

I survived gaza gencide, but I came out to find that everything I knew my home, my work, my city is gone. Starting again feels impossible, but I’m trying. If you can, please help me rebuild my life even the smallest support means the world to me. repost = rebuild chuffed.org/project/1389...

“To hope is like the rain that comes at night, the shadow that envelopes the world and comforts the tired. Where the moon’s glow reflects our promises and shows us the way. Dreams and connections to the past and future, held close to our hearts.” Night's Escape #watercolor #dragons #gouache #art

Maysara's grandfather needs daily medical support and is in need of help today, please send the campaign link directly to potential supporters if you're not able to donate personally. It really helps out if you can do that. ❤️

Day 4 -- Acorn One of the more misleadingly-named seasonal fae found in the Fallows, the prolific thimble-sized "acorn spiders" are actually crustaceans.
