A worker harvesting strawberries in muddy ground

Chocolate covered strawberries are a great #ValentinesDay treat. Let's give a cheer for workers like "Eva" who was laboring in Ventura County CA. She had to trudging through slippery muddy rows to bring this sweet fruit to our table. #WeFeedYou

Five cats stand on their hind legs. Text reads: "we all stood up to look at you".

A small polymerase ribozyme that can synthesize itself and its complementary strand The emergence of a chemical system capable of self-replication and evolution is a critical event in the origin of life. RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but their large size and structural ...

How could a simple self-replicating system emerge at the origins of life? RNA polymerase ribozymes can replicate RNA, but existing ones are so large that their self-replication seems impossible. Could they be smaller?

Excited to share our latest work in @science.org on a new small polymerase.

I’m gonna keep repeating this until the Ellisons take a hint (they won’t)

Artists, quote with something silly!

How was this labeled sexual nudity when I literally get jump scared by straight up boners and other graphic things all the time? I have to hurriedly block, mute, report and hide so much unlabeled adult content.

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ominous bird valentines.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

My brain had a difficult time reading that headline. I thought the crocs got there first and then wiped out the humans when they tried to colonize 🤣

<i>Cymbasoma</i> sp. Floating amidst the ocean's plankton is a tiny monster, it has no mouth and it must mate, after which it will give birth to a new generation...

The ocean's Little Monsters:
Monstrilloids are copepods with a peculiar life cycle.
While the adults are planktonic, the juveniles are parasitic. They invade the bodies of invertebrates such as polychaete worms, and burst out of them xenomorph-style 🧪

Bill Clinton fighting back. I like it.

I fear I must continue discussing Brad Karp and asking questions like “did the nonsensical decisions of major corporate law firms that directly undermined legal resistance to fascism in this country last year stem from the lemmings following a guy who knew he was in the Epstein files?”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Quote highlighted in the article that reads "To the casual Hollywood observer, 'Melania,' Amazon MGM Studios' documentary on first lady Melania Trump, looks like a hit. But looks can be deceiving."

"To the casual Hollywood observer, 'Melania,'...looks like a hit. But looks can be deceiving."

Who are they asking to look? Helen Keller?

Happy Black History Month.

The homes they're building are also smaller than existing homes.

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.

They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists — while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

That’s authoritarian bullshit.

What a weirdo

The bananas are so cute

THIS is the last straw!!!

The drone footage makes it seem like you're on the run from the DEA.

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
