Discussing zines with Black scientists is basically a dream come true!
We are learning how to make ZINES today for science communication #BIMWeek2025 and I am SO EXCITED. In a time where getting out the truth and combatting misinformation is IMPERATIVE to our survival, I am truly grateful for this. Thank you to @renrenegade.bsky.social!!!

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I went to a training on homeless outreach from a trusted org yesterday, and this is a great option for Americans who want to do something irl but can't risk detainment, so let me share what I learned! 🧵
There are a lot of us who are not well-positioned for street activism (in my case, I can't risk detainment because my youngest still mostly depends on breast milk for calories), and discounting work that can be done on digital space isn't just inaccurate, it's shaming of vulnerable people
I have a client stewing in shame about not doing enough to counter anti-trans and fascist actions, paralyzing himself by saying that no action is good enough except for the one he is too socially anxious to do.
For some, sending words might be a small risk that builds momentum for further action.

this is a good time to note that the proposed candidate for NIH director has never run a lab, cared for patients, led a major research and healthcare institution, or been a principal investigator on an NIH grant

I'm only going to say this one time.
Protesting in these times needs to be deliberate around safety & risk.
We need to be cautious about "spontaneous" actions that have no discernible leadership or planning.
"Just show up" as a directive should be a HUGE RED FLAG.
