Bummer! I know so many people don't like to do jury duty, but I sort of secretly enjoy it. I've been on a few very short trials, but lately I've been getting dismissed.

Thinking about how it's a bad idea to be so loyal to a political party you can't admit when they are wrong and when they have hurt you.

This is very exciting! A small clinical trial using gene therapy for Huntington's disease has been successful. microRNAs were used to edit the Huntington mRNA, stopping it making mutant protein that can damage neurons. Huge hopes now for treating such a devastating condition

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Some wise words from a great writer. Solidarity with people who are endangered, or who are making an effort, is important. Not undermining them on social media is the bare minimum. If you can't live up to that, I'm blocking you. Nobody is here to absorb your futility or exhaustion.

Rebecca Solnit @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 22d

And as with climate, it breaks solidarity with those who are already facing harm. Pretending it's all inevitable and we're powerless gets comfortable/safe people off the hook from acting, showing up, taking risks....
