I literally can't. I just cannot anymore.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Whoops that sucks...

... and ALSO that graphic looks like the honmoon, right? (Yes, I FINALLY watched KPop Demon Hunters over the break.)

New headcannon: the honmoon is a part of the ionosphere.
Putting more carbon in the atmosphere could make a disruptive ionosphere effect called the sporadic-E layer occur more often and with greater intensity, harming radio communications used in broadcasting, air traffic control and navigation. 🧪⚛️ physicsworld.com/a/extra-carb...

Hey @tkingfisher.com if my kid uses a quote from Nettle & Bone for her senior yearbook quote would you prefer attribution under T Kingfisher or Ursula Vernon?

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

I am going to request that you do not in fact dress up, in particular wearing clothes that are hard to evac in such as nylons/pantyhose. Trust me you want to have good coverage that won't melt as you go down the slides
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:

"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Don't take this to mean Signal itself is compromised, the records came from a “sensitive source with excellent access.” Assume there's a mole in any big Signal group.
A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

They do teach this now. It’s called social-emotional learning
Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

No, that is not a misunderstanding

by the way the lyrics are
"should we take the elevator, should we take the stairs or should we take the cash away from all the billionaires"

I was trying to figure out more about the band, sometimes hitting up the lyrics pages have links. (They seem new tho)

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
