Once a library school grad, always a sarcastic individual with too many books and not enough shelves. Definitely not making Mt. Holyoke, Stony Brook, or Pratt proud.

NYT discovering what everyone with a grandparent on the wrong side of sundown has discovered- if you start trying to cover up for the loss of filter, that soon becomes the only job
NYT: “.. Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.”

Same. Being a biologist or public health through this whole progression is a special kind of psychological torture. In PTSD terms it’s like being forced to watch a Moral Injury while unable to help, but on a culture-wide scale.
6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

And, like, treason. We need to be specific about those connections and those with money. Because all that rolls into a big ball of treason.
When you see Donald Trump's government, a government that works great for those with money and connections and doesn’t work for anyone else, that’s corruption—plain and simple.

i think if you are actively paying for the privilege of doing fascism you shouldn't expect even the shammiest of sham trials at whatever the nuremberg equivalent is forty years from now. at least collaborators can say they were in it for the money.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."
