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.

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

The thing about #LosAngeles is that no one appears to ever be at work but also everyone is hustling all the time.

After tomorrow there’s no excuse for any cis person to tsk tsk & pretend this is someone else’s fight. He’s starting his presidency by outlawing the humanity of some, which is outlawing the humanity of all.
🚨 Trump will instruct the federal government tomorrow via an executive order to not recognize that transgender people exist and exclusively recognize people as their sex assigned at birth.

Please choose your copy for fundraisers carefully. Some alternative words/phrases: recover; heal; improve; rally; revive; get back to "normal;" change our circumstances; regain our strength/losses; get back on our feet; bounce back; get out of the woods.
Please spread the word that GoFundMe campaigns set up to fundraise for wildfire-related support should NOT use the word “rebuild” in their headlines or anywhere in their campaigns. It may affect the amount of support they receive from FEMA. www.fema.gov/node/if-i-re...
