I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines.

Or GMOs. Or fluoride.

It’s the root of all of them.
It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science.

Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements.

From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive.

Chemophobia tells us:
“Natural is good.”
“Synthetic is bad.”

That’s a lie.

Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known. Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving.

We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons.

You’ve seen the slogans: “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.” “Paraben-free.” “Clean beauty.”

They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing. And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker.

Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab. Vitamin C is vitamin C.

Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could.

Dose matters. Source doesn’t.

This fear isn’t harmless.
It shapes public policy.
It blocks innovation.
It raises food prices.
It slows down cancer treatments.

Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives. Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong.

We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts. Because influencers sell fear for clicks.

Because lawyers monetize doubt. And because scientists are too tired to fight back.

So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen: Learn how toxicology works.

Call out chemical fear-mongering. Support policies based on evidence, not emotion.

Chemistry isn’t the enemy. It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine.

If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

Ruby doesn’t know she was surrendered.

She doesn’t know a decision was made.

She only knows her family disappeared.

A volunteer took her out expecting to comfort a scared dog and ended up sitting on the floor with her while she pressed in close, buried her face, and quietly asked not to be left again.

Ruby is a 1-year-old Shepherd / Belgian Malinois mix. Housebroken. Good with kids. Good with other dogs.

She’s at Cobb County Animal Services in Marietta, GA.

One share can be the difference between another night in a kennel and somebody saying come on girl, let’s go home.

Women: I want to go for a run.

Society: You can't go alone. You'll get raped.

Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.

Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you'll get raped.

Women: I want to live alone.

Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.

Women: What about going to the park?

Society: Dangerous.

Women: Okay, I'll just go out for a drink then.

Society: Don't take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.

Women: I was raped.

Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

Walk your lawn before you mow it. Especially in spring and summer, especially after rain.

Lawn mowers kill toads, fledgling birds, snakes, baby rabbits, and box turtles by the millions every summer. None of them get out of the way fast enough. Most of them are exactly the species your yard most benefits from having around.

Two minutes of walking before you start the mower saves all of this. Look for matted patches of dead-looking grass (rabbit nests), small ground depressions, sleeping toads in the morning dew, fledgling birds hidden in long grass, and any small turtle you weren't expecting.

If you find a rabbit nest, flag the corners with garden stakes and mow around it for the next 2 to 3 weeks. The babies leave the nest on their own.

Two minutes of looking is the difference between a perfect lawn and a perfect lawn that didn't kill anything.

Isn’t it hypocritical to take a few Bible verses on sexuality and demand they be legislated over an entire country, while reducing over 2000 verses about wealth, care for the poor, the disabled, the vulnerable, and refugees to a private personal choice?

There are 3 billion fewer birds in North America than there were in 1970.

This data is from a 2019 Science paper that combined 48 years of citizen-science bird counts with continent-wide weather radar tracking nighttime migration.

The losses are concentrated in the birds people see most often: grassland birds (down 53%, 700 million gone), forest birds (1 billion gone), and shorebirds (down 37%). Even common species (blackbirds, swallows, warblers) are vanishing.

Habitat loss is the biggest reason, but the rest of the list is short and largely fixable for the average person.

1. Pesticides killing the insects birds eat.

2. Outdoor cats kill an estimated 2.4 billion US birds annually.

3. Window collisions killing roughly a billion more. Lawn chemicals.

4. Light pollution disrupting migration.

What you can do, ranked by impact: keep cats indoors, treat your windows for bird strikes, plant native trees and shrubs, stop spraying pesticides, leave the leaves and seed heads through winter, and turn off outdoor lights at night during spring and fall migration.

No one person killed 3 billion birds, obviously, but your yard can be a part of the solution that rebuilds their numbers.

Marco Rubio, you sniveling, cum-gargling, balls-deep cuckold bitch. You absolute fucking traitor, this one is for you.

You spent 2016 hating Trump with every fiber of your pathetic little body. You called him a “con artist,” a “fraud,” a “pathological liar” who’d destroy the Republican Party and become a danger to democracy.
You cried on national television about how he was hijacking conservatism, preying on the working class, stomping on every principle you pretended to hold dear. “This man is a cancer!” you basically screamed while your eyes watered like the weak little pussy you’ve always been.

Now look at you—Secretary of State. Interim this, Acting that. Triple-hatted bootlicker supreme, deepthroating the very man you once said would ruin America.

You didn’t evolve. You cucked. Hard. You bent over, spread those cheeks, and let the guy you publicly despised raw-dog your entire political soul in front of the whole country. No lube. No safe word. Just pure, enthusiastic capitulation because power tastes better than principles ever did. The same person who warned everyone Trump would betray conservatism is now Trump’s eager little errand boy.
You’re not a statesman. You’re a used condom in human form—yet somehow still clinging to the administration’s dick for one more ride.

History isn’t going to be kind, you sniveling fuck. It’s going to piss on your legacy and call it exactly what it is—the ultimate political grift.

Keep licking those boots. The rest of us are watching you gargle the betrayal and pretending it’s champagne. Pathetic doesn’t even cover it. You’re a fucking disgrace. 👆

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Trump has been having a hypomanic episode the past 24 hours. Post after post after post. All his trademark pathologies: Narcissism. Sociopathy. Paranoia. Sadism. All his trademark themes: Malice. Grievance. Division. Entitlement.
His gut is a simmering stew of agitation, rage, and desperation. His disordered brain is filled with paranoid fantasies of revenge alongside fantastical visions of regaining his grandiosity.
He hates being told his name needs to come off a building. He hates that musical artists are canceling from his show. He hates being trapped and stuck in Iran. He hates that Epstein won't go away. And he especially hates his own mortality.
Neither you nor I can EVER feel the kind of frenzied fear and fanaticism that Trump feels now. This is a man who knows he's in his final chapter.
He's confounded that he, all that he is, all that he ever said he was, his lifetime of secrets and lies and false constructs - is vulnerable to exposure.
How can he possibly sleep?
This is a malignant narcissist in decline. They always get worse, it's always messy, and they never want to go down alone.
