It's in print! My opinionated dive into the definition of "coevolution" is officially out in the December issue of @journal-evo.bsky.social

Don't ask “when is it coevolution?”—ask “how?”
Abstract. Coevolution has come to be widely understood as specific, simultaneous, reciprocal adaptation by pairs of interacting species. This strict-sense

We've watched in horror as unchecked federal agents assaulted and terrorized our communities and neighborhoods, undermining Constitutional rights and threatening safety.

@ilattygeneral.bsky.social has filed a lawsuit against DHS over the dangerous use of force used by CPB and ICE agents.

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth.

anyway as i have said many times — and literally just wrote on saturday — i think we should abolish ICE as well as unravel DHS and i welcome elected officials who embrace both outright but i am also aware that any senate majority will contain moderate and conservative democrats who need an on-ramp.

looks like IRLC has actually added Samoan and Somali since I last downloaded card templates!

still looking for a version in Yup'ik if one exists- my guess is that most immigrant rights groups wouldn't have one, but given ICE is targeting Indigenous folks, seems important!

In under 48 hours, you organized nearly 1,200 marches and vigils in all 50 states and DC for Renee Nicole Good.

There are more of us than there are of them — and We the People won’t stop demanding accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee. #ICEOutForGood

Many fellows of the @royalsociety.org (FRS) are incredibly good scientists with a wide reach.

Yet, as the society, & the president of the society, react and engage in public discussions of at least one fellow and their conduct, the "brand" and relevance of the society continues to be at risk.

👀 New blog post! 👀

Ever made a *spaghetti* line chart and wondered how you can make it more accessible and more aesthetically pleasing at the same time? 📈

How to create a more accessible line chart – Nicola Rennie
The default settings for chart software are not guaranteed to be accessible, and often need to be adapted for your own chart. In this blog post, we’ll transform a line chart to make it more accessible...

Mary Pelota is figuring there’s gonna be midterms.
Wow: Mary Peltola announces she's running for Senate in Alaska — as a Dem, of course.

Peltola looked to be deciding between a run for governor, where she looked like she'd almost be favored, and a tough race for Senate against Republican incumbent Sullivan.

Telling of Dems' mood she chose latter.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.

I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

i think that instead of all of us posting the same thing, sometimes there should be a big google doc where the 200 or so people on this website can iron out one joint statement with mutually agreed phrasing that is both pithy and timely

I thought I was getting back to my Mennonite roots when I started sourdough baking in 2020, but 2025 was the year when I really started to feel disengaged from the broader culture at the level of "doesn't drink, doesn't gamble, doesn't take oaths"
