The biggest miscalculation the authoritarians made when sliding into NC with their SUVs is that we’re only a “Red” state because of the GOP’s extreme levels of gerrymandering.

In NC, we have friends everywhere.
The people who felt safe because they thought it wouldn’t happen to them are seeing it now in their communities, schools, restaurants, churches, parks & streets. They are feeling loss & the number of people who can be blissfully ignorant continues to shrink.

When I was 6, I wanted to be a space paleontologist…
I’m at the annual paleontology conference. Here’s how people today have described their work:
“I basically study swamp monsters”
“I’m a dinosaur orthodontist”
“Dead bird bird watcher”

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~
but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter
Hmm!

Something I’ve noticed is there seems to be a sort of pervasive assumption that the status quo has gravity. That there’s a natural, comfortable way things should be and that deviations from the normal state of the world will correct themselves in time.
But as a paleontologist, I know this is false.

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
