This is Mr. Paworotti. His favorite Christmas song is Howl-lelujah. If you'll excuse him, his solo is coming up. 13/10 (TT: therealpaworotti)

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok. Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work. Resistance is exhausting. Never forget that rest is resistance. Survival is resistance. You’re not alone. There’s more of us than there are of them.

Good morning! Science time! Bowhead whales make huge amounts of a DNA-repair protein that seems to stop damaged cells from turning pre-cancerous. The AK Iñupiaq community helped researchers determine that Bowheads can live 200yrs without cancer. This may help find new cancer treatments in humans.

Fascinating/not surprising: People born in the 1990s are projected to have a ~10% lower homeownership rate than our parents. The more homeownership feels out of reach, the more we systematically shift behavior -- consume more, work less, & take on riskier investments. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

How is this “testing” the ceasefire rather than breaking it?

FASCISM AND ITS SYMBOLS ARE BEING ACCEPTED INTO US MILITARY Thats the headline

House Republican leaders are trying to ban all regulation of AI at the state level.

EDGE OF CHAOS vibes: butterfly conservation, up-for-tenure shenanigans, and morbid humor brought to you by the anthropologist main character.

There’s a straightforward word for blending these interests and it’s corruption

A reminder, Nikki Stanton called out transphobia in WOSO by name, and now she's lifting a trophy. You can stand for our trans siblings and win.

Even KC is not voting for Vlatko to be 2025 COTY, apparently.

This is a travesty, eliminating #PublicHealth loans for PT, OT, MPH, DrPH and many other degrees. They are trying to kill us.

"As a player, Yanez held a one-of-a-kind nickname: the sunshine assassin. She’s all smiles, genuine and kind, but when it comes to winning, it’s best not to get in her way. " Love this column from @jennatonelli.bsky.social on the #NWSL coach of the year nominee. www.si.com/soccer/why-r...

what more does Taylor Flint need to do to be up for these kinds of awards?

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Tonight was a very bad night.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

I never realized how much of our system runs on good faith and responsibility, rather than strongly enforced structure.

Marta was playing when Mia Hamm was playing. Marta is still playing. And what's more is that she's still playing LIKE THIS after 90 minutes. Absolutely wild.

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!

we now know that it’s not illegal to throw sandwiches at ICE agents, an important development

Before anything bad happens tomorrow (and it likely will if someone is going on THAT network), Protect Black Women. Protect Black Girls. Support Black Women. Support Black Girls. Donate to the BWPC. Support Black media. Protect OUR sport against abusers, predators, bad actors and opportunists.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

DAT MF’N PURP

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500. Insane

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Autism is a social disability because most people don't have empathy for the way we communicate... yet we're the ones constantly accused of lacking empathy. Make it make sense. 😒

If you’re cheering for SNAP cuts because you think it’ll save you money… it won’t. SNAP gives more to the economy than it takes. When people are starving, things fall apart. You’re inflicting suffering on others to make the rich richer and you can’t even see it.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

@writehive.bsky.social On your website, it lists Nov 14-16 as the mentee submission window, but the graphics from today say Nov 13-16. Does the window open the 13th or 14th? Thanks!

every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

Jane Austen's 250th birthday is coming up in December and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, acquiring a passion for dead leaves & closet shelves, and taking a fancy to the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

mine came this week!!

That’s no ballroom…

@roundtablementor.bsky.social on your website, it says mentee apps are open Nov 6-21, but on your bsky profile, the dates are Dec 1-15. can you clarify?

Misty Copeland took one last spin on her pointe shoes Wednesday, as she retired after a trailblazing career in which she became an ambassador for diversity in an overwhelmingly white art form. n.pr/3JcRkWM

cuomo’s rich friends convincing him to relaunch his campaign just so he could get ether beat’d multiple times in every debate is extremely hilarious

Genuinely think that the admin response to the anti-genocide protests on college campuses was the final announcement that the American university as we traditionally understand it has died

Gentle reminder that should a general strike happen, it’s crucial to plan and establish robust networks of community care. There will be people, especially within the disability community, who can’t participate. Who have needs that must be met. Let’s make sure we figure out how to include them!

Aid to Gaza is “temporarily halted” as the ceasefire is paused. It lasted less than a week. These folks need food. They need medicine. They need supplies. Trump always takes the win, few details are provided as to how things will be enforced, and then when this happens he says nothing.

Wtf is a TEST of a ceasefire?!?!??!?

I will give Temwa my leg ankle whatever
