ISSUE ONE IS HERE! Learn a thing or two about our beautiful earth from the minds who pay it the most attention in Thomasonian No. 1! Happy reading!

Today 14 scientific societies in #ecology #evolution and #marineScience are publishing the results of a survey that finds negative impacts of federal policies on food security, flood mitigation, infectious disease preparedness, and wildlife conservation: 🧪👩‍🔬 www.firsthandaccounts.org/impacts/2025...

Just listened to Episode 322 and I felt compelled by Tangletongue’s plea for this edit. @wcwitcast.bsky.social 🫡 may Starclan light Jingostar’s path

Crochet baby blanket/stuffed bunny for a friend’s newborn ♥️

I apologize but I find the theology of the Warrior Cats books more compelling than any monotheistic religion.

I’ve had a busy month and a half, here are some highlights memories for me. ♥️

A photo I took got into this! I’m hopeful to have more time in the future to dedicate to writing for the next issues to come! ♥️

Need to learn how to say “not to me. not if its myself” when I think about the rotten, endless work of keeping a body and mind healthy and happy

Good morning 🫡

"Why do you always say 'coffee made by a they/them' all the time?" Because, Jerry, the last two coffees I had that were NOT made by a they/them were: the most bitter flavorless thing imaginable, and a cup of warm milk that put me to sleep. I NEED that they/them-ness in my cup, Jerry.

Good morning !

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

House Republicans have passed legislation that would restrict access to the ballot and eliminate online and mail-in voter registration. We need your help to stop this GOP voter suppression bill in the Senate. Tell your senators to protect voting rights by rejecting S. 128: indivisible.org/reso...

Disregarding and diminishing the authority of another branch of a democratic government sounds like an illegal thing, doesn’t it?

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours Massive applause for Booker

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

You're not overreacting

Personally I’d rather rich people and corporations just pay their fair share of taxes

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Hassan: "You have clearly stated in the past that bodily autonomy is one of your core values ... when was it that you decided to sell out the values you've had your whole life in order to be given power by President Trump?"

😽🤍.

I’m a guy just like anyone else, I put my testosterone on one leg at a time

if you require the force of the state to enforce the gender binary it probably isn't actually inate. i know that everyone knows this already and you can't debate them with facts and logic but this is driving me fuckin nuts

Please share this pic of a cute kitty.

Rep Harris: "Title IX will not be used to perpetuate a lie that men can be women. Men and women are uniquely created by god, and no amount of testosterone therapy can reverse biological design" Wanna bet?

Rep Rulli: "The opposition party is blurring what is a woman and what is a man." That is what they are truly afraid of. Not trans people in sports. Trans people transgressing gender boundaries. "We need to protect the concept of a woman" Reminiscent of "protect the sanctuary of marriage"

I love you youtube music playlists that provide clear credits and descriptions of music so I know it’s not AI-generated :D

This took me so long to finish - I started it in June 2023 but I am so happy to have completed it. At the time, it was the largest and most complex cross stitch I took on by a long shot, with so many colours and extra stitch details. Glad to start 2025 with this, feels like a badge of honour!
