I do think we should start treating the Gender Critical [sic] crowd as the genitalia-obsessed weirdos they are. Eg, introduce them as 'This is Jeff. He's a bit obsessed with what people have between their legs. I've asked him not to say anything about it tonight, but if he does, let me know and I'll

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Goodbye MTV...killed by the very thing I'm sharing this on, but least we enjoyed the days when it was ALL about the music. Here's my tribute. #Friday #MTV #Music #Spotify

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Twenty years ago Heth & I remortgaged our house to start a publishing company that would find great new stories others thought too risky to publish. Our books have been short listed and won awards and two have been adapted into TV series. Today we paid that mortgage off Magic!

Millennia before the first cities, early Mesopotamians probably harnessed tides to irrigate crops. https://scim.ag/4oCl2ng

Humans of Bluesky! I want your questions, please. Let me explain. I like writing explainers about things like: What colors do bees see? Do bugs fart? How long can viruses survive in a dead body? What's the difference between hemp and marijuana? But my brain is wrung dry. I need questions! 🧪🧵

I must mention, one of the medieval illuminations was so badass I got it tattooed even before this was published! Who else has a figure tattoo? 🤘 Shoutout to the Aberdeen Bestiary and the monks that illuminated it, I guess. 🧪

Violence, scientific DRAMA, and misunderstanding! Who first asked if woodpeckers get headaches, or if rams are immune to brain damage? New Paper! I trace the history of human thought on brain injury in head-hitting animals, and it's a wild ride. 🧪 🏺 A thread - 1/🧵 doi.org/10.1002/ar.7...

Today is my birthday. Two years ago, I launched my dream job at NASA. Now, I face my last day of employment there. My position, along with thousands of others, evaporated at the whim of a wannabe dictator and his self-serving lackeys. I'm thankful for the time I had, but sad it's ending like this.

Schrödinger's Shooter exists as both a deranged leftist motivated by dangerous rhetoric AND as a misunderstood troubled youth who needed Jesus until the waveform collapses

At the ACIP meeting this afternoon, a representative from the American Pharmacists Association had to point out to members that in many states, the authority for pharmacists to give vaccines is based on ACIP recommendations. It's as if the new ACIP members don't actually know what ACIP does.

This is Finny. He doesn’t go chasing waterfalls. He carefully studies their timing and arrives in advance. 14/10 very impressive (TT: jordancain70)

Swans should be always accompanied by their own musicians. Bestiaire of Pierre de Beauvais Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, Ms-3516, folio 207r.

“Just we two” Postcard from my collection. Copyright 1907, mailed 1909. This is by C.E. Bullard, my favorite of the Victorian/Edwardian cat photographers. He seemed to genuinely love cats and didn't restrain them or cram them into tiny costumes.
