Calling Captain Benjamin Sisko…

That sucks. I’m sorry.

fuck yes

Escape from America | Anton Hur Sometime in the near future, Anton Hur decides to leave America for good.

Someone just reminded me that I wrote this story in 2022:

"This new season should be ushering in a new world, but instead it’s only the old one, drained of its power and beauty—the radio is warning of an unseasonal snowstorm later that night. All planes would be grounded, possibly for days."

Clarion call to take hold of the narrative, from the linked article by below by Dr. Jessica Marie Johnson:
"Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders.... and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders... And we need to fight them like that is exactly what they are."

A few other ordinary questions: do you have a social security number? Have you have paid taxes? Is there anything EM might find in your personal data at the US treasury that might be helpful to one of his companies, perhaps in China?

Thank you!

I would say this order goes beyond censorship.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

The discovery of sex chromosomes was just as controversial as everything else in genetics Nettie Stevens, a former school teacher turned geneticist, discovered sex chromosomes in 1905. Here's her story:

Since the fascists are waging a gender war based on their (wrong) views re: the determinacy of X Y chromosomes, I’d just like to point out that they were discovered by an unmarried woman geneticist whose findings were stolen by men after she died of breast cancer at 50.

Beautiful!!

Oh wow i forgot about my NSF S-STEM grant from 20 years ago that funded cohorts of first-generation students to attend our college- the students were from rural or urban communities and they learned so much from one another (as well as learning to do science!)

I have written letters for scores of undergraduate Biology students over the last 20 years who took part in cost-effective NSF-REU training programs all over the US. Many of them are now doctors, researchers, teachers, and/or science-aware members of the public!

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

I wish news organizations would remember this

I see what you did there 😂

US Federal science funding has made so many specimens more accessible for everyone; this collection is just one example. What other projects are an example of this truth?

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.

Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)

I just came here from another site and I’m so glad I can leave that site and still view your things! I’m a big fan; thanks for your positive and encouraging content for all students.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

This has always seemed true to me, but I would like to know how we know this is true!

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.

Everything I want to say seems inadequate so I will leave it at that.

The fresh spinach and arugula leaves in your salad are alive when you eat them. Also your beans (and other seeds) have a living respiring embryonic plant in them before you cook them.

Chilling, important, deeply-sourced long thread about Elon.

Here's ours! We also didn't argue partially because I put up all the ornaments before La Ultima woke up this morning. Hope you have a wonderful season.
