Hello friends!

La Pouillette, a wonderful, adorable cat, has badly injured herself falling from a high place. Any help you could give - even just sharing the donation link - would be amazing!
Thanks!
(I can give more details for any French non-speaker!)

@Andrew_Akbashev @DrGAWilliams16 @NMarianoCorrea So, then in your mind:
Step 1: Play into the toxic system, which de facto excludes any cultural diversity so that you can "change it from the inside"
Step 2: Perpetuate the toxic system and place the burden on future trainees to change the system.

@skirano @pixelizeog Yes. I'm sure that's why so many of the replies that are critical of this are hidden, for the ""conversation""

Wow. This is what New York's skyline looks like right now due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires.

The role of polygyny in the evolution of ant social parasitism has long been suspected, but was never tested. We found that inquiline social parasitism is almost twice as likely to have evolved in polygynous hosts!

[Dr. Rome Dahan 🐜 @RomeDahan]

New paper! Our study (with Christian Rabeling) of inquiline social parasitism in multi-queen ant colonies is out today in @SciReports :

We found an association between polygyny and social parasitism in ant colonies!

@DialecticBio Evo psych is sympathetic to eugenics for the same reason Batman is sympathetic to Bruce Wayne.

I don’t care if you don’t want to hear this; overturning Roe v. Wade is an erosion of women’s rights and reinforces this absurd, backwards notion that women shouldn’t be allowed to be in control of their own bodies. If you DON’T think that’s absurd and backwards, fuck you.

Ah yes, the famously pro-monarchy... les Misérables...

Well then

@RTSOregon @keviemetal @onepointofvu @MaxKennerly @davidaxelrod Ah, yes. The police force that takes up 40% of its town budget got boo-boos on their feelings, so they *check notes* let 19 kids get shot and actively stopped anyone else form trying to stop the massacre. That sure showed us how much they're needed and helpful...

[Dr. Rome Dahan 🐜 @RomeDahan]

I've seen many ppl make the argument to the extent of "banning AR 15s won't work, the shooter would have done as much damage with a handgun"

And you know what, I think that's a great argument.
Just not for the reasons they think.

@katystoll But what if your home has *gasp* more than one door!?!?

@NjJamison @llison_codes @Judy73168821 @nytimes Ok, so you agree that there should be a mandatory mental health evaluation for all people seeking to buy guns then, right?
