I like knitting, learning, and making things work. Strapping lass. She/her. I'm a queer, married, middle-aged, parent who skis. Obviously I drive a Subaru.

My family has been without our entire income for 40 days. It has been overwhelming.

We are ALSO willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are ALSO NOT willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

17 is so stressed because we get pushback every time she, for instance, doesn't want anyone in her room. It's fucking awesome.

When you question every politely- and clearly-laid out boundary because you cannot be convinced of why someone might need a boundary against something you want to know or do it makes you not the nice person. Boundaries only being ok if you personally would set the same ones isn't ok.

I’m 44 years old and today was the first time I heard of Rosalind Franklin. And I’m grateful that this was my thing to learn about today

Back in junior high/high school in the 90s, we were only ever told about Watson and Crick.

08.11.2025 03:44 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 0

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

Yes, some people's legacies are complicated. For example, Watson. After all, though he was racist, don't forget his other traits. For example, he was also sexist. And also anti-semitic. And a data / idea thief. So let's not forget all the different facets.

Today I thank Rosalind Franklin for her discoveries, the downstream impact of which lead to therapies that have kept my nephew alive

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

The LLM thing is remarkable because if anyone was like "I never went to medical school anyway here's my magic anti disease device pls give 100 billion" they'd be laughed out the room or beaten with sticks but we're supposed to let guys who never read a book hand us an app claiming it'll write them

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

While Murkowski & her GOP pals are fearful of *political* retaliation - losing their positions of power - millions of Americans are losing their entire income, their healthcare, food, freedom, family members, neighbors, their homes, and even their fucking lives.

FUCK YOU, LISA!
