My favorite science joke:

Q:What did Watson and Crick discover?
A: Rosalind Franklin's work

Sometimes you don't know how bad you're hurting until you're out of it.

I love you too.

I can't imagine why I put up with that

This was a big day for me, four years ago today.

I FINALLY stopped tolerating absolutely intolerable behavior.

Do it, y'all. If someone is treating you wrong, so putting up with it. My life improved immediately.

I left facebook Jan 25, and have not missed it once.

Censorship Is the Authoritarian’s Dream The right to free expression must include the right to say horrible and evil things.

It should be noted that since the chair of the fcc called for Kimmel to be silenced, this is an ACTUAL violation of the first amendment

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

This is the Rebellion manifesto written by the character Nemik from the series Andor. It offers a guideline for hope while under threat from tyranny and inspiration for those brave enough to stand up and fight.

Andor, a Disney+ show about resisting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Three days later, the network caved to it.

*“When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents ‘vermin,’ enemies who need to be ‘targeted,’ that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now, and something that we’re going to have to grapple with—all of us," president Obama.

Thank you. I really appreciate the clarity. I've heard a lot of rumors but not a lot of facts.

My husband had a mild case of Covid, following which he has spent almost 4 years mostly flat on his back. This advice fills me with rage & horror.

Today is a good day to practice kindness. And be careful.
