kn95s are great for pollen but unfortunately wearing one might make you look like you care about protecting disabled people and i know we simply cannot have that

a straight on shot of a house in uptown, New Orleans. the home is painted blue with green shutters over the golden brown wooden door, white trim, and pink on the lofted portion of the porch. the colors are bright with sharp shadows in morning light.

I'm really glad that 404 Media correctly called out the "Proton did not provide any information to the FBI" line as disingenuous. It's not a good sign when a provider is more interested in playing semantic games than realistically explaining their threat model.

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union β€œshould never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.

But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n
