Alright bsky science + art community, I need your help.

I was p confident we could get a grant to fund our upcoming biodiversity mural in Kensington. Last night, they called to say our partner school is 2 blocks outside of their service area.

But ya know what? We're gonna do it anyway.

I wish Finch supported custom affirmations. “I embrace gratitude” is ok, but I would prefer “I am striving to outlive the bastards” or “Go birbs! Fuck ICE!”

I didn’t get my HPV vaccine until late in my 30’s because when I was an evangelical teenager I heard over and over that the vaccine was essentially encouraging girls to have promiscuous sex. Purity culture is so gross.
The HPV vaccine is eliminating cervical cancer in a generation of women. Why would anyone be against that?
CIDRAP Op-Ed: The HPV vaccine prevents cancer. The new ACIP wants to re-examine that.

@jakescottMD

The vaccine has reduced cervical cancer by nearly 90% in women vaccinated as teens and has been studied in >70 randomized controlled trials

My mother forwarded me an email in which someone wrote David French “is apolitical analyst and opinion writer” and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more perplexing typo than that missing space.

Have a mediocre photo as proof that I am a real person who leaves my house to exist in real spaces. Also, this view makes me smile.

I'll be packing them up this afternoon and hitting the post office tomorrow.

They're cute as hell, each has a fact about the animal on the front of the card inside ❤️🐟❤️

Valentines support @skypeascientist.bsky.social!

In the midst of it all, SCOTUS also announced the March argument sitting and the birthright citizenship EO case arguments are going to be on ... April 1.

I don't make the rules; I just share the news.

Among many things, Alex Pretti was a cyclist. His bike shop Angry Catfish in Minneapolis organized a memorial ride for him, and it's gone nationwide. This Saturday, the Damp Roads folks + a few local shops are organizing the Philly version. Let's show up for Alex. www.instagram.com/p/DUDaFwUjpfQ/

Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2). 

We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

Bike friends: This is something you can organize wherever you are, in solidarity with us in Minneapolis.

Plan a unity ride for this Saturday. Bring your community together.
On Saturday we ride for Alex Pretti
1:00pm at Washburn Fair Oaks Park

From Angry Catfish:
“We're asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

This whole thread, but especially this. Safety is more in numbers than obscurity.

Doesn’t mean you should do fed posting, but if death squads are going after food delivery signal groups, no behavior will guarantee safety for anyone.
3. Right now our biggest margin of safety is the fact that there are many thousands of us, and encouraging people to get involved just makes it harder for them to arrest, detain, harass, or murder us. There is strength in numbers. There is strength in united resolve.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.

More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people
One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Yes, and: academics, this is precisely why it's not as useful as some seem to think for "summarizing" - it is primed to produce that which is statistically probable. The most important things in many (if not most) articles, meetings, presentations are the unusual, less statistically probable parts!
There are a few settings where conjuring up “the kind of thing you’d expect someone to say” is a genuinely useful tool for me as a probably-autistic communications professional. But what makes my art good is that it’s *not* what people expect me to say.

MN protestors #protip put 2 Idaho Russets in the oven at 420 degrees for 45 min, take them out and foil wrap, 1 in each pocket before you go out. Theyll stay warm for 3-4 hours even in this weather and you can eat em when you like. They used to send us kids out like this back in the 70s trust me.
