It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

we need to talk about the pathological culture of hate that millions of americans raise their children in

I kind of forgot about this app for a min but hi here’s what I read in March!

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

#StandUpForScience Science not silence!

My #Oathbound preorder finally showed up after lots of shenanigans with my tracking info lol. Let’s do this!!! 😅

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Another article detailing anxiety among young researchers. Future careers are at stake with the US funding cuts, and talented young researchers are already being driven to pursue opportunities abroad. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Finished my reread of Bloodmarked last night and just started this! I read my first SA Cosby last year and it made my top 10 so I’m really excited for this one 😌

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

Big day to be an infectious disease. Huge.

it's so important to make time for yourself, rest, treat yourself gently and with kind words. you, not me, I have to run myself ragged until I collapse in a pile of exhausted self-hatred but you should definitely self care.

The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.

Powerful 🔥

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Please use alt text. Let's include everyone in our posts. Please and thank you I know I'm repeating this a lot, but I find it to be important.

I’m still here, trying to stop doomscrolling long enough to read a little. 😵‍💫 Last night I finally finished One Last Word by Suzanne Park. Now onto Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor!

If RFK Jr is confirmed as HHS secretary, expect these headlines to become even more frequent and tragic.

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

Did some damage at Barnes & Noble yesterday instead of doomscrolling 😌 #Booksky

again this is a full scale attack on constitutional government

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

if you cared about morale and recruitment you would not alienate a group that disproportionately enlists into the military, but if you are a white nationalist…

I keep wanting to come on this app for a little reprieve from the constant onslaught of bad news, but it’s made its way into my feed here too 🤪

Things are bleak right now, but guys please stop gazing into the palantir. It’s just what Sauron wants….

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

I really do not want to talk about politics today, but I will just say that I’m so glad Biden finally pardoned Dr. Fauci
