No, THIS TIME Lucy will let Charlie Brown kick the ball. Stop doubting everyone, it's a good deal. /s

Trump’s White House Demolition Threatens the American Idea Summarily smashing part of the building without telling people threatens the fundamental idea of the republic.

Summarily smashing part of the White House without announcing it “threatens the fundamental idea of the republic—government by the people and for the people, conducted in public view,” Jake Lundberg argues.

What the actually fuck

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Who is he fooling?

Rhys Moult, rhysatwork on IG captured this photo of a lizard with a blue tongue, slurping up daisies in a gravely sand environment. They're black predominantly, with yellow bellies and stripes. The interior of the mouth (such a messy eater!) is visible and pink, and a gaping maw ends in a dark portal. Sharp dark eyes look slightly annoyed.

I have fallen in love with sleepy lizards (Tiliqua rugosa). They're slow-moving omnivores, so they tend to eat slow-moving food.

When available, they love a good flower snack, slurping up daisies with their blue tongues.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

by age 30 you should have one friend for every major animal group to spam.

I had literally the exact same thought.

Just like the belief that black people are genetically more susceptible to obesity and heart disease. I won't go into the awful belief that they have higher pain tolerances and what the motivation was behind it.

Six fish arrayed diagonally over the top of a rainbow pride flag. At the top left on the red stripe is a northern redbelly dace (Chrosomus eos), on orange is a male rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum), a shorthead redhorse (Moxostoma macrolepidotum) on the yellow stripe, a northern pike (Esox lucius) for the green stripe, an orangespotted sunfish (Lepomis humilus) on the blue strip and a goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) on the purple stripe.

Happy Pride! The diversity of life, in all its forms, is pretty rad!

(Side note: there's not a whole lot of purple fish, so the pink/silver goldeye is the best I got)

(over images of Elon Musk and Congress) MUSK OR US RECESS MARCH 15-23

Another congressional recess is here and your senators and representative are back home. Whether your elected officials have been fighting back against President Musk or hiding from their constituents, we need to get their attention — and we’ve got events planned nationwide: indivisible.org/muskorus

🤣

Inoculating the muscle tissue

We were given the initial plate from the micro department, then we transferred to plates to grow more!

A fungal control we grew! My little fungal fruiting body babies :)
[img is a gms stain of our muscle tissue]

We started with an Aspergillus plate, then inoculated muscle tissue and let that grow.

This control tissue will be used for gms and pas-f fungal tests.

I’m a histotechnician💓

(below an image of a chicken) If your Republican member of Congress refuses to have a town hall this March recess, have one anyway. get the guide indivisible.org/muskorus

They can run but they can’t hide: Just because Republicans are avoiding their constituents doesn’t mean we can’t hold them accountable. Another congressional recess is almost here and it’s time to get creative: indivisible.org/muskorus

Does this count? :)
