Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Paleo followers! Any of you work (or know someone who works) on Carboniferous insects? I've got a question about how cosmopolitan some of the big insect species mostly known from Europe were, and how likely it would have been for anything similar to turn up in Texas.

yeah I really have been sold on a zero-tolerance moderation approach to certain cute linguistic loopholes after watching the right wing pull this shit on social media for 15+ years
I feel like a whole lot of people in this thread have not been on the receiving end of the linguistic loopholes the far right employs to publicly harass and threaten trans kids, teachers, Jewish people, ethnic minorities, etc and are like “hey we should get to be clever like that too”
