Once again, again, again, if you actually understand what antisemitism is, where it comes from, and how it actually manifests in our culture, it's a looooot easier to talk about and name in all the directions without sounding like a dingbat (and ya, pro Jews, I'm also not not looking at you)

This is a book burning The Trump administration's actions at the CDC, NIH, and NSF are the familiar tactics of fascists and dictators

Maybe there's some confusion about the motives of the moves to crush the NIH, NSF, and CDC. The Trump administration is conducting a book burning. Me for @sequencermag.bsky.social

TOPICAL knitting fact of the day...
Prisoners of war in Nazi camps were put to work knitting socks for officers. They intentionally would do additional decreases in the heels, so that the socks would ALWAYS rub and give the officers blisters. They would also make sure that one of the socks had loose ribbing so the officers would spend all day having their sock fall off in their boot.
A spy called Alexis Casadagli, took up needlework and almost all of his work has
"Fuck Hitler" in morse code.
