Slightly snarky, fun-loving yet tired scientist, mom, and retired skydiver. And a swiftie…can’t leave that out.
I do not engage trolls.

I can’t stop having imaginary conversations with my evangelical orange-supporting mom…I know I cannot show her facts to open her eyes yet I can’t stop having these imaginary conversations. I miss her. 😢

I never realized issues in the bible and the constitution are both available ala carte…apparently you can pick and choose what you want to believe in and disregard the rest like the decorative parsley on your plate.

I need to vent. The Bipartisan Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Acts were brilliant, in the fact that they put money into worker’s hands AND improve our infrastructure. And the good results will be appearing years from now and Biden won’t get the credit he deserves.

These past 8 years have taught me a hard lesson…I was naive not realizing the number of people close to me who are racist, bigots, homophobes, and misogynists.

Interesting observation on bluesky versus x: the # of likes on popular users’ posts seems equal to or higher here than on x. With a smaller # of overall users here, this makes me wonder why. Anyone?

I used to jump out of planes a lot. Wish I could go back in time when I was younger and had more hope for our future.

I am cautiously optimistic with this platform after being pummeled on other platforms for such things as breathing, being a female, being a scientist. Anyone else?

One thing I am using, and would like to encourage the use of, is the "Hide reply for everyone" option.
When I see MAGA trolls, I'm just hiding the reply from everyone and sending them to the block party. Fire needs oxygen to burn. Don't give it to them.
