So the state government of Florida has crashed their economy, destroyed their tourism industry, nuked their real estate market, and made the state the second most economically distressed in the country.

These are the people I would absolutely trust with life or death policy decisions on vaccines.

Winter is coming.

Be prepared. Buy beanies.
I'm broke, so I've dropped prices on beanies and scarves in my shop up to 33%! Consider supporting my lil Etsy :)

Say her name. Let her memory be a blessing.
"It took her nearly two decades to find a permanent academic position. She found occasional work as a visiting professor, filling in for someone on leave for a year or two. She earned grants to fund her research... but she was often living on unemployment benefits"

Don’t trust the experts”? That’s not democracy, that’s recklessness.

On a plane, I want a pilot.
In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence.

Expertise isn’t religion or authoritarianism — it’s training, accountability, and data.

Ignore it and we all pay the price.
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

I am really excited to be a part of this team. We took our time writing this, putting a lot of thought into how our journeys as #NativesInSTEM were affected by different aspects of Universities and looking for commonalities across the world. I hope folks in academia appreciate this work.

Help Amy make more art!
I’m down to my last box of clay so I’m gonna do a fundraiser. Buy anything from my shop and I’ll throw in a free surprise handmade necklace plus a pack of my stickers. You can even tell me if you like science or nature or what theme necklace you want. PLUS my whole shop is on sale.

You and your children will breathe more air pollution because of this action. People will have more asthma attacks. People will have more heart attacks. All while climate impacts accelerate.

Where are these guys sleeping? After Jan 6, a true domestic terrorist attack, Nat'l Guard soldiers slept everywhere from parking garages to hallways. LA has less affordable places to stay than DC after the wildfires. This is just disrespect for political theatre.
LOL Hegseth ain't paying. Right now all they're talking about on military forums is how the deployments are broken up into 29 day blocks so DoD doesn't have to pay them active duty benefits INCLUDING no allowance for housing.

Bring these dudes some cold water. They'll keep ICE off your back.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I could really use a sale or two at my Etsy shop. If you'd care to check out my hand-sewn creatures, that would be heckin' amazing.

I have a few creatures available at my Etsy shop! They're designed and hand-sewed by me. Each one takes many hours to make. Most of them likely won't attempt to devour your soul.

As a reader, I am finding Kobo Plus a good alternative to Kindle Unlimited for those of us wanting to move away from reliance on Amazon. It's also a better deal for authors because it does not demand exclusivity the way KU does. Here are some authors available there! ⬇️
