Women are, on average, more likely than men to be depressed, but it's men's mental health that we are all told to pay special attention to and the reason for this is that "men's menral health" is an excuse to protect male power. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

My take on men's mental health is that the online service the local talking therapies people pointed me at has a section on men's mental health but not, for example, women's mental health or non-binary people's mental health.

Filling this fundraising tracker is literally my five-year plan, and that's if everything goes really well. It's a huge amount of money but every little helps.

so... they took over to make the journal "more scientific, less political" (?) and now they're publishing papers that rant against... *check notes* suicidal empathy, the progressive thought police, and parasitic ideas that will destroy the West. they should have renamed it X.

Nowruz Mubarak to all Iranian Americans who call New York City home! It was an honor to celebrate Charshanbeh Soori. Nowruz is typically a time of good feeling, but this year is different. I continue to stand in opposition to this war, and I wish joy for all Iranians observing this special holiday.

Octavia Butler had all their numbers. This is from the new biography of her, Positive Obsession. By Susana M. Morris. bookshop.org/p/books/posi...

If you're hesitating to do any kind of good because it takes effort, or might chip away at potential wealth, I just want you to sit and think about that for a few minutes. Is that the sort of person you want to be? Or do you want to build community & help keep folks alive & well despite fascism?

poverty is manufactured they want us to pay to live there is enough of everything for everybody actually

🥵Absolutely bonkers. As of 2pm CDT, nearly 200 locations across the U.S. have broken or tied their daily heat record for March 20th. 45 of these have also set all-time March records. Another ~85 are within 3° of breaking theirs before the day ends.

Sometimes you just get that shot. Anna's hummingbird with a little friend, in my yard. Davis, CA. #birds #ants

my period+my migraine derailed my entire day, how are y'all?

It's really infuriating that journalists will report on studies like this and then turn around and completely fall on their faces when it comes to actually covering this authoritarian

Maybe there are better strategies than just bombing a country and seeing what happens next

What could we women do if they'd just leave us alone, get off our backs, out of our way, stop blocking, attacking, killing us and destroying our planet, all while declaring their inherent superiority...my brain wants to explode sometimes, from the sheer stupidity and waste. Ugh.

hey if "the economy" is completely decoupled from the welfare of the people, WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THE ECONOMY

Matt Ridley gave the inaugural "NIH Scientific Freedom Lecture Series" earlier today and I just wanted to run through some of the main claims he made - you'll be unsurprised to learn that almost all of them are false. Here's his summary slide - let's start there. 🧵👇

My dad asked me why I know so much about moths and I responded “probably the same reason you have a whole room of model cars and can tell the make/model/year of any car by its headlights”

The very *day* of October 7th, antizionists correctly predicted that Israel's inevitably genocidal reaction would make every single Jewish person on earth less safe by allowing anti-Semitism to effortlessly infiltrate and assimilate antizionist movements.

Breaking: A U.S. district judge in Oregon said he will vacate a declaration made late last year by health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that asserted gender-affirming care for young trans people does not meet medical standards of care. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/j...

Things have always been bad but they weren't quite this bad before social media pivoted to video.

a pillbug and also getting your clothes cut off by a milf who has dysfunctioning executives

indeed. I really liked the thread on it from Moira Donegan yesterday

So weird that I haven't named any names but multiple people are popping up out of the woodwork to downplay a professor dating undergraduates in the replies. Save yourself the trouble and just block me.

I am imagining what it would feel like to be unburdened of the constant awareness, the constant vigilance, the the constant heartbreak of a culture that will not address its own failures, and which outsources the responsibility and the consequences to the survivors. This is what we fight for.

There are at least three major news stories about sexual assault and abuse of power by men in prominent positions this week. Government, labor, academia; the culture is everywhere, and women disproportionally bear the weight of the consequences. If this week feels extra heavy, be kind to yourself.

not to doompost on main but the fact that we have to talk about hasan piker at ALL wrt leftism and antisemitism and that is getting more traction than when he said on TYT that revenge p*rn was what he preferred bc it was more "real" is SO depressing. like.

JD Vance referred to high gas prices because of Trump's war as "a temporary blip" today in Michigan.

Let me just say if a large meningitis outbreak broke out in the US right now, I have no confidence that the current DHHS leadership will promote a science based outbreak response, promote vaccination, prophylactic antibiotics or even allow transparent reporting. That makes me both sad and scared.

The Inflation Reduction Act was $369 billion.

Should just call this article "The Fascists are Succeeding in their Efforts to Muzzle Academia" www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

Did anyone point out that the DOW is under 50,000?

Newly released video footage shows Delta Air Lines was responsible for transporting 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his dad from Minneapolis to a Texas ICE detention center in January. h/t @gbrockell.bsky.social @ottergoose.net www.huffpost.com/entry/delta-...

Folks believe LLMs will just keep getting better forever, as if transformer-based models have no limits. Wait until they’re profitable… they’re gonna suck. Facebook, Google, YouTube, celebrated when they were losing money. Now the robber barons of a new gilded age. #AcademicSky #MLSky #AIEthics

At a Senate hearing, Tulsi Gabbard was pressed over why she left out a key line from her prepared remarks that appeared to undercut Donald Trump’s claim that Iran posed an imminent threat.

99.99% of the jokes about deep-sea ecology haven't even been discovered yet...

Meet the king of the Weird Little Guys, the Butternut Woollyworm (Eriocampa juglandis), native to North America. They're the larval form for a wasp-like sawfly & they secrete tufts of wooly substance from epidermal glands to aid in camouflage. All hail the king! (📷: Robert Gromotka)

It's commonly claimed that "controversial" or politically sensitive research is suppressed by failing to report inconvenient results. The claimed is especially common for research on the relationship between IQ & grades. A new paper shows that the core evidence for this claim is an artifact

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 18 LGBTQnation Deptof State implements new rule requiring immigrants to use sex assigned at birth on visa applications to "combat fraud," raising fears it will be used to target trans immigrants and asylum seekers./

I have a joke about carbon offsets but it doesn't work.

For anyone curious about this, I did a video about how this guy's farm is nasty almost a year ago. Plus a little bonus- he might have done an arson? Details herein! youtu.be/piB_DdO2D6I?...

Book launch day! “Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Self Surveillance” is out. Bluesky friends, I would be so grateful if you would buy a copy. And if you can’t afford it, could you at least share this announcement. Thank you. #BookSky politics-prose.com/search?q=You...

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
