Um yea. It would supplement my $8/month donation nicely.
I sincerely hope that a half dozen billionaires send PBS and NPR about $100 million a piece.

I’m starting to feel like the American education system when teaching the holocaust focused way too much on the gas chambers and tattoos and not enough on the way Hitler used bigotry, corporate influence, and overall political ignorance to manipulate the masses in his rise to power.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.

Hey, somebody go back in time and tell that terrified anthro101 student who’s way nervous about the gov’t unit that in a few years they’ll be an elected official, involved in the political realm, and seizing the chance to make a real difference.

My 10 year old just got stuck in a cat tunnel and I had to help them shimmy out of it while brushing my teeth for bed, if you’re interested in procreating and want a lil inspo

TIL that measles can infect and persist in the brain, and then (rarely) FIVE TO TEN YEARS LATER, kills you. There are no effective treatments.

![Acute viral infections are typically cleared by the host’s innate and adaptive immune responses, but even non-integrating RNA viruses can persist [1,2]. Neurons of the central nervous system are a privileged location for persistence because the host cannot deploy the cytolytic and inflammatory defense mechanisms that control infections in renewable cell types [3,4]. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) provides the prime example of a persistent brain infection caused by a human RNA virus. SSPE, which occurs in about 1 in 10,000 individuals typically 5–10 years after they experience an acute infection as a child [5–7], starts with subtle signs of intellectual and psychological dysfunction and progresses to sensory and motor function deterioration that ultimately leads to death [8,9]. There are no effective treatments for SSPE, however nonspecific antivirals (interferons, ribavirin, and inosine pranobex) have been used [10]. Although vaccination against measles prevents SSPE, this lethal disease is resurging due to vaccine hesitancy and missed immunizations due to COVID-19 related disruptions [11,12].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wadfbchvgyngydxdhms5fvq6/bafkreifhzaeouy4vjlzpr3gc6irwy4hcpl3cb2x32fonx7irbxta3mrmmi@jpeg)

One minute I’m filling in the square next to MY OWN NAME on my ballot, and the next I’m shaking tortoise shit out of a towel outside in a windstorm. Hashtag mom life. It’s glamorous y’all. (The tortoise is returning to school tomorrow, to haunt another family next weekend)

Nobody told me about all the pretending that goes into parenting. Here I am pretending everything is fine (democracy ending, cancer diagnoses, financial worries, etc) so my kiddo has a childhood. I’m not a good actor.

It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.
