Welcome to Twitter by me! Here we say

Abolish prisons
Abolish police
Make reparations to BIPOC

And maybe we can learn a little about antibiotic resistance and mycobacterium!

Next chapter in “things I do for my cat”: taught myself to juggle to entertain him

Yeah, I'm into crypto. Cryptobranchus alleganiensis! More commonly known as the hellbender, this aquatic giant salamander can be found in parts of the eastern and central United States. Some may measure up to 30 inches long! Photo by Ryan Hagerty/USFWS.

Most of my personality is summed up in that I am spending my Sunday tailoring my cat’s coat by hand because he seemed chilly in the 72F apartment and hate watching a sci fi show

@dgonzales1990 Not an administrator telling me “If students choose to work 60 hours a week to complete their degree, that’s up to them” when I asked about things like parental leave

AOC's dress is performative. criticizing the dress is also performative. everything is performative. we're all performing. welcome to clown school

[michael wave @michael___wave]

people guzzling horse antibiotics to treat a virus when vaccines are available is a failure of many things, of scientific education, media culture and literacy, individualist vs collective attitudes to health, of online content moderation. but also at some point like, c'mon man

[Lauren Bonefont @lebmicro]

My spouse is on to me, he’s starting to realize the whole relationship has just been a recruiting tactic to get people to be so empathetic and compassionate they’re motivated to political action

Love the vibe of offering treatment (which may or may not be covered by insurance) when a) covid infection means chance of chronic illness and b) all the free, safe vaccines offer at least as much protection from hospitalization. This is irresponsible

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Monoclonal antibody treatments such as Regeneron are an effective early treatment for COVID-19 and have shown to reduce hospitalizations by 70%.

[Timothy Hucks (Commissions Open) @Ame0baRepublic]

I'd like to zoom in on a distinction I make w/ random, frightened Karens & the police (same thing, really, just with authority): I believe them. I believe they have these irrational fears. I believe it literally physiologically affects them.

I also believe that's not my problem.

The ADA turned 31 (#ADA31) so I'm going to tell you about the ADA case that Universities absolutely would lose if anybody had the resources to bring it to trial.

Spoiler: no one does 🧵

‘Disabled people aren’t our target audience so we don’t need to prioritise accessibility’.

Disabled people account for between 20-25% of the general population. Some of your target audience will be disabled, whether you like it or not. Why are you prepared to exclude them?
