trans person was involved in one of the specific cases you mention.
I agreed with you in my post - very few mass shooters have been trans (and among those who have been, their right wing, white nationalist nihilism has been a more salient part of their identity). Saying "see all these people who werent trans who did horrific things" does less to help us when a ...
wasn't out to the ARA, McVeigh, or Elohim city, but she was a part of that terrorisitic milleu
Your point's not wrong, but the OKC plotters *were* participating in other terrorism planning involving a trans woman (Donna Langan) who robbed banks to fund the Aryan Republican Army and other white supremicist groups. She's had more noble aims since her imprisonment and she certainly ...

A rather disturbing about of surveilence and how systems can and will be used against people
Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

There were so many of us, exactly when these emails were being written, expressly working to undo the harms of sexual harassment and sexual discrimination in science. And so many people refused to believe us that any of it was real. It was all real.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
If you want fossil "teeth" horror shows, you want Conodonts.
This somehow fit into a mouth, about 400 million years ago.
It's unclear, but something very much like this thing is probably ancestral to all vertebrates--this is our great-great-...-great grandma.

In this capacity Bech is also responsible for what might be history's worst version of the work pizza party - he gave medals of his face to slaves for "good conduct"

This source does not include the 90s date, but other reporting suggested it
Back in September, a Ghislane email came out discussing Epstein meeting with an American Paleontologist to hunt for bones. At the time I speculated it could have been horner. these messages are between 2012 and 2014, the previously discussed events were with RFK JR in the 90s no less
Here's a throwback video of me digging out a massive Exogyra ponderosa shell from the Cretaceous aged Demopolis Chalk in Tupelo, Mississippi.

One of the important take aways of this interview is its demonstration of how science journalism can deceive or misguide wrt to what scientific consensus is, and the concomitant malign poltical ends that misdirection can promote

My mom and I visited the Boulder NCAR Facility. It had great displays/educational material beyond the vital science being conducted there. NCAR plays a vital role in long term CO2 monitoring. Dismantling will have long term implications for cliamte science
Very cool!

Likewise, it is worth noting new reporting about the “sources” of the HHS report from earlier this year about transition medicine. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trumps-ant... I think it is significant that one of these authors is specifically working to make democrats more transphobic.
We should not forget that on this Trans Day of Remembrance www.transremembrance.org/insights-and...
Since ~ 2021, trans people have been subject to extensive political & media hysteria. For the crime of seeking to live freely, their motives have been impugned, their identities questioned, and their rights constrained. This "concern" has very real costs for trans people.
I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

I’ve released a tool to sketch and edit phylogenetic trees!
yawak.jp/PhyloWeaver/
Load a Newick file and intuitively add/remove/resize branches.
Useful for quick conceptual trees, extracting subtrees, or turning ideas into Newick.
