I just want one of these demons to face any consequence at all.

If creationism shit could stop showing up when I’m looking for actual resources for my students that’d be fucking GREAT.

I’ve never clicked on any of these sites and they still get shoved front and center!!!!

Rosalind Franklin and the damage of gender harassment Spurred by a recent report on sexual harassment in academia, our columnist revisits a historical case and reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

This is how I found out James Watson died and, appropriate

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

It’s like the people who complain about black characters in HBO Dragon show and kind of forget… there are dragons there. The mythical creature…the dragon
