No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Come on Bluesky resisters! How about a follow for this brave lady from Maine taking on Susan Collins!! Go Fight Win Janet!
Susan Collins refused to extend the ACA tax credits, and now, costs are soaring, and thousands of Maine people have dropped their health insurance.

Once again, she failed to act when it mattered most, and it's Maine people who are left to pay the price.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

All of this political talk, and yet, I don't think the average American has any idea that the president shit himself during a live press conference.

I'm not sure how we're supposed to deal with that.

None of this is normal. None of this is acceptable.
