Yesterday I had the pleasure of chatting with researcher Dr. Sarah B. Hrdy, a well-known author on human coop breeding, and how humans and pre-humans have raised our children over millennia! It was absolutely fascinating and inspiring! Look for the episode soon for the finale of S. 5 of TSoU!

I’ll never forget how he tried to get those innocent teenagers at the time, The Central Park 5, POC of course🤬 the death penalty
They were exonerated.
He never apologized.

Flakes before fame. Nyayanga, Kenya (3.03–2.60 Ma) pushes Oldowan to ~3.0 Ma. Tools butchered hippos & pounded plants; two Paranthropus molars hint more than Homo was involved. #PaleoPost #HumanOrigins #Oldowan doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Is sex strictly binary—or is the biology more interesting than the culture wars allow?

#Sex and #Gender are hot button topics. But why? Why is it so misunderstood? Do you know the inner workings of the biology? Do yourself a favor and listen to an expert on the topic, and see if your views still stand!

In today's atmosphere, being anything that doesn't fit neatly into a box can be near impossible. This is due to our modern society being so unyielding, and often misunderstanding of basic facts and information.

This is very clear in the ongoing debate over Sex and Gender.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Today is Day 10 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Yesterday (10/09/25) was European Rock Art Day! I wanted to post this little video showing some examples of the fascinating work across Europe, but the internet goblins were preventing me until today!

I’d love to hear what pieces of rock art have inspired you?!
