Yup. The geologic time scale was built by correlating sequences of sedimentary rocks from different areas. There's no one spot with a complete history, but we can put all the pieces together into one sequence.

Okay, so then show a hospital, a thermometer showing a fever, something indicating “sick” instead of the thing that would prevent illness.

Showing a generic shot photo really doesn’t convey “measles cases“.

So yeah, this is fundamentally about trans people and that cannot be elided, but the ways in which junior faculty are targeted and disposed of, while academic jobs are increasingly precarized, and political grandstanders seek to influence academic governance are fucking terrifying for everyone.
