As a certain local official gets piled on for embarrassing remarks downplaying the dangers of a restive Taal volcano, may this also serve as a wake up call. Scientists aren’t just for the lab, the university, or those government agencies we rely on during natural calamities.
Scientists and a scientific culture should be found on every level of government and policymaking. And many other institutions too, including the media. No country on earth has progressed without consciously promoting scientific education and thought.
@penny_a_pound @ANightmareThis @TiagoLemosPeixo@CaseyExplosion That's fair, what I should have said is you need to watch the video to have an accurate critique of the video. Otherwise the arguments will become simplistic and distorted, like a game of telephone. If you are upset with nat and don't want to watch her videos that's valid.
With J.K. Rowling's defense of horrible transphobia, there are folks claiming trans people aren't valid and citing "science"... except medical and other scientific experts disagree with that completely. Here's a helpful list of what the experts think about trans folks. (thread)
@cmclymer To anybody thinking these org’s are bowing to political pressure: My college physiology texts in 1985 taught multiple definitions of sex, & that gonadal, chromosomal, endocrine & brain sex can all disagree. This was long before trans rights was a thing. Just plain biology.
@ClaudiaBrown100 They're worse than weebs honestly, you never hear of them trying korean foods, getting interested in korean history or getting involved in anything korean beyond k-pop.
@GraveTried @ClaudiaBrown100 Not really, anime at least is a product of japanese culture and the medium allows for the transmission of information. Listening to music in a language you don't understand isn't going to tell you anything about the culture it comes from.
Lots of people are asking about the recipe, so here you go:
Cube sweet potatoes & stir fry in coconut oil
For the gravy, sauté onions, then add the rest of the veggies & season to taste
When sweet potatoes are about ready - add in cheese curds and pour on the gravy!! 🤙🏾
Thanksgiving is a time for family, good food & one more day of early voting.
So I figured this is a good time to showcase one of my favourite meals to cook when the fam gets together.
Punjabi Poutine! It's like Punjabi & Quebec styles merging 🤯
Happy Thanksgiving!
