my hot take is that it should be easier for universities to shitcan tenured professors who are abusive pieces of shit and simultaneously easier for research technicians and postgraduates to get permanent positions

A digital illustration of David Lynch (we miss you) from the little concrete walled, cluttered office space he used to do his odd little weather reports from. Everything is rendered in a strange combination of textures and line halftones and muted cool colors. Cruddy lettering at the bottom of the frame reads 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Remembering Our Dead
This site memorialises trans people who have passed away, as a supporting resource for the Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR).
Today we remember trans people who have died over the past year. Whether their deaths be by murder or suicide, I consider every person on this list to have been taken from us by trans hate. Remembering them is an act of respect and rebellion.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
