This is the Way. 😄

*sigh* the wife brought home the first mince pies of the season.

We only just set the Guy on fire, like come on.

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

The true cost of the trans "conversation", which is and always has been just another name for trans persecution. I hope that all the columnists who are obsessed with dissecting trans people's right to exist and participate in all aspects of life see this and examine the harm they're doing.

All but 9. 😅

Jeremy, I have followed your science advocacy on this platform with respect, but I find this thread deeply hurtful and sad and I am going to tell you why. While my wife did her postdoc at CSHL, she and our many dear friends had to endure the racist rhetoric of this man, which did constant harm

I see James Watson has died.

What did Watson discover?

Rosalind Franklin's lab notes.

Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

Pet Adventurers!

Anyway. Happy Friday evening in the afterlife to Rosalind Franklin and Rosalind Franklin only.
