I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

I think about this a lot!
For me, being unmoored in setting [what are the 'rules' of this world?] and unmoored in language [is this strange because of fidelity to text, an unrecognized reference, or adventurousness of the author?] can lead to a brilliant flowering of complexity and doubt.

A reminder that when Jo Ann Hardesty worked to push this forward, the police union and some officers leaked a false claim to the media that she’d been involved in a hit and run.
Today was a full-circle moment. 💕
In 2020, Portland voters passed police accountability reform with 82 percent of the vote. That didn’t happen by accident. Community members organized, testified, drafted language, debated structure, and refused to accept a system that wasn’t working. 🧵
