This today and the horror panel yesterday healed a tiny part of my soul

I'd put Team Rocket in the Whitehouse over the two we have now. But Rocky and Bullwinkle would be better. Any of those four have more basic courtesy.

Reasons I need to be able to use "female" and "reproduction" in my research: my office is full of fish eggs.

My least favorite thing is when people write out a number and then use the number in the parentheses.

Example:

As per my last four (4) emails.

I saw this a lot in the 90s, then it went away, now it's back. Why?!

Every time I look at the news I start singing

The way men on the internet comment personal insults on opinions they don't like and act like they won some type of debate that wasn't happening.

If you have a scientist in your life maybe check in on them. We're all struggling a bit more than usual right now

I blocked certain words from the post but they do different iterations with stars in different places and I dont know all the code to block 🙃😮‍💨

Anyone got tips for dealing with horrendous people in comments? One of my threads posts got a bit popular and has brought out certain people.

I've been doing the Scalzi block and move on, but holy hell there's a lot of them and they are not nice.

I don't wanna go dark but...

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Take a day, take a week but don’t give up. We’re here and we have to take care of each other.

Things I am mad about today. Strike on the box matches that don't light because the striker strip wears out. Safeway Digital Deals that don't work when I get to the cashier. And Nazis. I am mad about Nazis today.

I can’t stop thinking about the Washington Post changing its “democracy dies in darkness” mission statement.

Antiabortion advocates look for men to report their partners' abortions Boyfriends and husbands can have uniquely personal and specific information necessary to help surface new lawsuits in states with abortion bans.

This partner-focused approach will shift to a more public phase next month when Texas's largest antiabortion organization launches an advertising campaign on Facebook and X to reach the husbands, boyfriends and sex partners of women who have had abortions in the state - with the goal of recruiting them to file lawsuits against those who assisted the women in ending their pregnancies.

Anti-abortion advocates are running ads to find & encourage men to betray and sue their partners. This makes me sick. wapo.st/40nfmD2

Successfully prodded my baby bro enough to get him to make some videos and social media accounts for his blacksmithing.

No account to share yet, but I do have two of his most recent projects

A tweet from the user 'mr trapple' states: 'before you clap remember these people also think all LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles. understand the actual goal here'. Below this, a tweet from Daily Mail Online reads: 'Pedophiles could be executed under new bills proposed by MAGA firebrand Anna Paulina Luna'.

About three hours ago I fed my sourdough starter that had been in the fridge unfed for 2 weeks. She's a baby and I was worried I'd killed her. But! I have bubbles! She's alive!

The other night I decided to pick up a middle grade book as a mental break in the middle of grimdark fantasies and what a good choice it was. I'm reading a few pages each night now after the Poppy War

Thank you Wild Robot for being so fun

Got an email from my student loan provider that I had an urgent message on their website. I finally get logged in, trying to stifle the panic.
