(Behind a paywall at Slate, but worth a read if you can.) How did abortion access get saved in Wyoming? Two main factors explain the ultimate success: Wyoming’s unique libertarian constitution and the savvy and determination of a woman named Julie Burkhart.

Here is another print I made this week. It feels good to be creating again. Monoprint. Acrylic on paper. #print #printmaking #abstractfigurative #figurativeart #monoprint

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

It’s important for the international community to boycott America That includes the World Cup and Olympics Refuse to support fascism Refuse to support a country that’s targeting all marginalized people, killing & detaining its citizens and threatening its allies It’s not safe. It’s not worth it.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

An amazing little bird that hasn't been seen for two centuries... www.goodnewsnetwork.org/missing-for-...

Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially. This is a dying empire shit.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Tatiana Schlossberg has passed away at 35. Please read this beautiful essay she published last month. It's one of the best things I've read in a long time. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Peak procrastination level unlocked 😆

New Article Alert By me @fastcompany.com 🚨 "Digital surveys may have hit the #AI point of no return." Quantitative surveys can now be taken by AI that undetectably mimics humans. This can compromise results that will impact decisions based on these outcomes. A way forward? Qualitative Research!

I assume she means everyone who isn’t white.

Worth the read 🙏

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil. — Hannah Arendt philosophybreak.com/articles/han...

Agree or disagree?

The 2026 park pass is… cringy.

Sit me next to the folks who can talk openly about Bigfoot being an interdimensional being that can teleport *only*.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

The Trump administration’s decision to apply pressure to the most amoral cowardly members of American society, big law firm partners and college administrators, is paying big dividends.

I wrote about this for @fastcompany.com 14 months ago! www.fastcompany.com/91184813/dig...

Just to understand the concept of a trillion. 1 million minutes ago it was October 21, 2023. A billion minutes ago it was 114 CE. A trillion minutes ago it was 1,900,114 BCE

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Every ten minutes. Let that sink in. Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members. This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values. This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs” Enough.

Countries that have abortion access, DEI policies or protection for LGBTQ+ people will be considered “human rights violators“ by the Trump regime We’re in the upside down. www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Coming together to eat the food we share has been part of humanity from the very beginning. I wrote this post after a Thanksgiving week lecture on evidence for Neanderthals and other ancient people making prepared mixtures of grains, lentils, and other foods. www.johnhawks.net/p/a-neandert...

Dreams and Mycelium: Mapping the Endless Network of Existence

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Nice article quoting the right voices on low fertility: "we should be asking questions to certain organisations about why some of them are making it harder to raise children....we shouldn’t be blaming women for not having children and instead focus on what kind of society we want to live in"

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The dismantling of public health systems is also a reorganizing of the public health economy to Christian grift. It’s the parallel track of dismantling all public social services especially education

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

“The Department of Education said what now? Nursing is ‘no longer a professional degree’? Tell that to the nurses who kept this country alive while half of Washington was playing political cosplay.

This guts the pipeline for nurses, teachers, therapists, counselors, midwives, PAs, speech pathologists, and public health leaders. Rural hospitals will be devastated. Low income schools will collapse. Women of color and single mothers will be crushed.

If your degree is in nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, public health, therapy, or dozens of other fields dominated by women, it no longer qualifies for higher loan limits. These pink jobs just lost professional status by federal definition.
