The weird new ant paper that shows queens laying eggs of a completely different species has me thinking that more species are probably cloning sperm in their spermathecae than we’d thought.

After all, most queens only mate once and cloning would be a great mechanism for keeping the party going.

Epidemiologists, no longer burdened with describing and predicting movement and impact of ACTUAL INFECTIOUS DISEASE, are applying their approach to *checks notes* historical flow of information and collective action

School shootings are human sacrifices to the bill of rights.

The founding fathers must be honored, however “regrettably”, with the blood of children.

What a grotesque society.

I wish nothing but ill to JK Rowling. May the loathing and cruelty she nurtures harm none but her.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous
