@diannahaze Absofuckinlutely NOT TRUE! Unless by worthless you mean wonderful and by nothing you mean tons and tons ❤️

[Chris Martine | Plants are Cool, Too! @MartineBotany]

Okay, gang. Are we ready for a little #PlantsGiving
action? A social media tradition since 2018: counting & reporting out the number of plant species consumed during your Thursday dinner. Here, *Sky*, IG, FB, wherever works.

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists:

- watching flies fuck
- giving rats massages
- spending years digging into why jellyfish glow
- tracking penguin poop from space
- using horseshoe crab blood

For all the botanical tweeps who are still here, I made a video for the UConn Botanical Conservatory 💚🌱 Peek inside their incredible collections & meet their scientists:

"Huge study of 18 million births found the proportion of babies born with a congenital heart abnormality increased by 16% after the first year of the Covid pandemic."

The price all you arseholes decided to pay for your 'back to normal'.

Remember 5 months ago when Finland quietly started vaccinating their population, even without having any #H5N1 cases?

[Mike Hoerger, PhD MSCR MBA @michael_hoerger]

If an in-person meeting has 320 people and no testing/isolation protocols, there's currently an approximately 94.2% chance someone has Covid.

The risk is literally off the chart.

Won't wear a mask. Won't give up vapes. Won't listen to disabled people. Won't stop buying and upgrading tech. Won't boycott. Won't make accessible educational materials. Won't add alt text. Won't stop using AI. Ok wtaf are you willing to do for revolution & better worlds then.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

No excuses. Every single one of my Democratic colleagues should be voting against this bill that gives Trump and his incoming administration dictatorial powers to target nonprofit organizations as political enemies without due process.

[GL @gldivittorio]

A petty way Biden could slow Trump's first 100 days would be issuing an executive order that EOs have to be typed out by the president themself with witnesses but no help. Trump would obviously reverse it right away, but to do so he'd have to spend a few hours on microsoft word

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Tomorrow the house votes on whether the government can, without due process, label a non-profit "terrorist supporting" and remove its tax exempt status. This would be used to destroy so many leftist organizations, I can't even begin to contemplate the extent of it.

[Dr. Jeffrey Lewis @ArmsControlWonk]

One of my favorite bits of trivia is that Trump doesn’t grasp the concept of “time zones.”

[Gary Koepnick @garykoepnick]

Ouch!

I didn’t even use his name in the question. #wokeGrok

Well it's another study that comes like a kick in the gut.

Covid infection in pregnant mothers disrupts immune balance, alters fetal brain cells and increases offspring's risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.
