It’s #AceWeek2021! If you want to learn more about asexuality and our experiences as asexual people, check out this episode of the @queer_science podcast I did with @ProfessorKira, @kassthefish, and Mackenzie Carter! https://t.co/k6IREPc0s9

@AnneWHilborn Damn. This is so sad.

Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.

Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.

Can anyone guess why they would remove the requirement to notify voters of polling place changes

Roundup often gets a bad rap since it, you know, causes cancer and other terminal illnesses. But don’t forget it played a huge role in collapsing the bee population, which may lead to the most deaths in the long run.

Hey, so, fuck this for real.

One of the wackiest things is how we publicly subsidize the creation of a shit ton of knowledge and then allow it to be locked away behind journal paywalls and entirely useless as an input to citizen knowledge and democratic deliberation.

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Nothing for parks.
Nothing for health care.

Unlimited billions for ICE and for war.

they'll put a woman in prison for a miscarriage but you can state your intent to let your kids die from a preventable disease and its fine

This is bad, folks. We won't have the data we need to help prevent future fire without a strong forest research program and the @forestservice is key to that. https://t.co/Tb8Eht6nDp

I just read the new Haaretz article about how Israeli planted pines are suddenly dying en masse and it is absolutely worth dissecting. Here are a summary & my observations as a Palestinian scholar who writes on green colonialism. 1/

A Vietnamese immigrant died in government custody last week, according to a notification sent to lawmakers from ICE, marking the latest detainee death during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. https://t.co/N5NfgKCUQy

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.

I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves.

Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening.

Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word.

It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.

The Trump administration is shutting down 74% of all Forest Service research facilities.

These facilities study wildfires, droughts, and environmental changes.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Trump is day by day doing permanent damage to American science.

I spoke to a friend of mine working in physics.

One of the databases he uses was completely wiped clean because it also included evidence of climate change.

Not one Democratic candidate is even proposing fixing this.
