Important read. These policies will effect children's health & not just people in the US. Feck anti-science sentiment, misinformation & the decline of educational standards. People not believing in medical science anymore has to be one of the dumbest & most dangerous things happen in recent times...
This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪

This is what fascism looks like. What evil looks like. I used to have discussions with folks as far back as the 90s about how I see German history & how it can happen again if we arent careful. That it wasn't a uniquely German thing how people can get swept away into hate by evil leaders taking over
ICE detained a US citizen who was originally from Somalia.
They grabbed her because they didn’t like her hijab.
She says they sexually assaulted her and said things like “what are you hiding under your hijab”
She was held for 24 hours.
A US citizen. No one is safe.

Trinity College chapel, pastel. I'd forgotten about this one. Spotted when looking through photos of paintings on an SD card. I think this one is oil pastel but I'll have to find the original to be sure.

So true. Autistic people perceive the world around them at a deeper level. They are often more sensitive and that's not something that should be worked against with phrases like "you need to toughen up". They are often the first ones that spot a pattern or sense things that make them nervous 💛♾️🌈
You weren’t “overreacting”
You were overwhelmed.
You weren’t “too sensitive”
You were accurate.
You weren’t “difficult”
You were dysregulated.
They pathologised your pain
because it made them uncomfortable.
You aren’t wrong.

Trying to explain the concept of the #latelatetoyshow to one of my Görmen friends: t'is quite hard to convey the excitement of it all & the lovely combination of funny, cute, a bit mad & wholesome 'craic' that signifies the start of #Xmas season in Ireland. May long it continue to delight the nation

Welcome back to #FossilFriday!
Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp.
