Was it worth it? The temporary comfort of denial while pretending covid is just a cold? Were the parties/concerts/restaurant meals/vacations, all delightfully free of precautions, worth risking your children's futures?

As sickening as the newly released pedophile files are, it's hard to be shocked when these monsters have been openly showing us who they are. What do we expect from parasites feeding on the most vulnerable and sucking the planet dry to satisfy their unquenchable thirst? It's all in character.

So many of my conversations lately:

Them: I'm so sick/my child is so sick. Everyone I know is sick/always getting sick these days.

Me: That sucks. I haven't been sick in almost six years though. . Same w/ pretty much everyone I know who still masks.

Them (usually): [crickets]

So angry for the people in Gaza, once again living in constant fear as Israel violates the ceasefire and resumes its massacres of families yet again.
October 29, 2025 at 1:01 AM
When I heard news of the latest so-called ceasefire, I watched celebrations with a pit in my stomach. How could Israel be trusted for a second? Of course, I'm not judging Palestinians. Even while knowing Israel better than anyone, any human in their situation would welcome a minute to breathe.

A real ceasefire won't come until Israeli impunity ends. Consequences for genocide must be severe or else. What does anyone think will happen in a world where genocide goes unchecked and unpunished?

More devastating news from Gaza. I'm so sorry for Dr. Abu Rukba's family, for the animals and people of Gaza, for this world. What a loss for us all. Such a horrible shame that the criminals responsible have been allowed to continue their heinous, cruel rampage for so long 💔💔💔

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

This is so absurd. NOT standing against mass murder, cruelty, and gen0cide is what should be shamed but instead it's writing sweet books for kids and fighting for the safety and rights for all children that gets you in trouble in this country.

Bill Maher and Van Jones are both absolute disgraces. The footage of them laughing at a joke Jones made involving dead babies in Gaza will go down in history as one of the most depraved examples of how deeply complicit Western media has been in the dehumanization and genocide of Palestinians.

The Sumud flotilla may not have succeeded in breaking the siege but it did succeed in bringing hope to decent people everywhere, and most importantly, people in Gaza who were reminded that many people not only care but are willing to sacrifice their lives to help end the cruelty and injustice.

These terminations have already hit @mclellanlab.bsky.social. More will come.
We just had our first grant terminated. This was a U19 AViDD grant (grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...). It was set to end next month, although many in the consortia were hoping for NCEs.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.

One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.
