OUR JEANS USED TO HAVE FAKE BACK POCKETS???

[Laura Elliott @TinyWriterLaura]

ok but the only reason women’s clothes (and dresses in particular) have functional pockets these days is because millennials made a big deal out of it. like i cannot impress upon you how 90% of women’s jeans never used to have pockets you could put anything in. JEANS ffs

not stopping until I get a dua lipa love story that woman is manifestation queeeeen

[Enomfon Akpan @mydearenomfon]

Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.

cant explain it but this makes me feel like the early 2000s

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

I don’t want comfort or convenience. I want abundant wildlife, I want a planet covered in forests & greenery, I want breathable air, I want literate kids, I want a revival of reading for pleasure and the arts, I want a culture not in danger of being dismantled by the tech-addled

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.

He did this without cutting any social services, btw.

The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life.

I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5.

Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm.

Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation.

Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%.

Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

everyone wants a baddie until she opens her mouth and starts talking about how American imperialism is perpetuated by both parties

Deadass crying at how good Company Retreat is?? The fact Anthony has no idea this is a TV show and is still ride or die for these people is so endearing!!!

[. @baestod]

And off to the bookstore I go, fuck Amazon anyway I have another reason not to support them!!!

[Barton Gellman @bartongellman]

It's one thing to say older devices don't support some new feature or service or operating system. But to make the deliberate choice to brick a device that's working perfectly well, in order to force your customer to buy a new one, is a hostile act of predatory capitalism.

what if we started critical thoughtmaxxing

[. @baestod]

I am so enamored with Anthony from Company Retreat he is the perfect person to be in this omg

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

Here’s your reminder I’m still hot 💖

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Let us remember, men only reached the moon because of the tireless work of a segregated black woman who performed math none of them could.

She was also born in WV and attended West Virginia University, where a scholarship program exists for other black students in STEM named after her.

Katherine Johnson did this in a time when just getting an education as a black woman was far more difficult then it ever needed to be.

May you look at every NASA rocket and think of her. She earned it.

How lucky we are to experience boring, ordinary, uneventful days. Somewhere in the world, that kind of safety is unimaginable.
