Imagine scoring 83 points in an NBA game and not even being the best basketball player in your relationship
TONIGHT’s the night!!!
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Agree, it’s stunning
A long time ago, I used to know a lot about foreign-imposed regime change (FIRC) and study them.
I guess that makes me qualified to write a thread about them, especially in wake of Trump bombing Iran.
So here goes nothing. 🧵
Can’t help but feel like these brazen, unjustified, and violent assaults on other countries are signs that he’s got limited time left and his cabinet and neocon cronies are trying to speed run their wildest foreign policy ambitions before he’s gone.
I've made a new starter pack of people to follow for news and commentary on Iran.
Got the idea from a request by @kakape.bsky.social
Like so many of the people here, my formative years were spent in the Bush era, shaped by that disastrous presidency and its disastrous overseas wars. It shaped my priors around overseas wars and my skepticism.
This will not work out well and will instead just lead to needless death of innocents.
In the before times I’d probably be relying quite a bit on Twitter right now and checking expert lists curated by people like @joshtpm.bsky.social. Any recommendations on experts and journalists to follow here on bluesky as events unfold in Iran? Please spread widely and recommend broadly…
Quick reactions after learning that no, nobody could stop him. 1/ goodauthority.org/news/trump-m... 1/
Trump is screwing up the science of sex -- and that has implications for everyone's health care. My latest:

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
Hah, right? Can’t wait to tell all the ELBIs next week 😉
Yay! Tell your students too lol
Thank you!
Don’t have plans for the evening of March 10? Then tune into Jeopardy! to watch yours truly compete :)
my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels
I mean just look at this
In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🔱
Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.
It’s great (derogatory) that you can work very hard to find out something incredibly important, and the main response you will get is a derisive “Gee, I’m shocked.”
Somebody has to ACTUALLY DO THIS WORK! You can’t pursue justice by going “Your honor: I mean, duh.”
Regardless of your politics this is an insane headline. In other words:
“President of the United States (country with 2nd largest nuclear weapons arsenal) will base missile attack orders on adversarial nation of 80+ million people per the counsel of his son-in-law and a real estate investor.”
If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.
I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Another reason why the Olympics ice skating exhibition gala is so amazing
I’m supposed to make a vegetarian sandwich for a work colleague and want to know, what’s the best vegetarian sandwich you’ve ever had?
Only thing better would be seeing one of DC’s black squirrels doing this
Omg I love this
