I need right wing pundits to stop suddenly acting like they’re True Hockey Fans because the Panthers visited the White House or because Team US is currently leading the 4 Nations Faceoff. Get away from my sport. Name any rules of hockey or any player beyond Gretzky or Tkachuk.

Am I disappointed to see the Panthers meeting with Trump? Yes. Am I disappointed by Matthew Tkachuk in particular? Yes, he’s been one of my favorite players and has advocated for inclusivity in the past. Am I aware that most hockey players are Trump supporters? Yes, they’re out of touch athletes.

If you went to college, 1. What was your career goal when you started? 2. Your initial major? 3. If you changed majors, what did you change to? 4. What do you do now professionally? 1. The closest title would probably be nonprofit manager? 2. PoliSci 3. Psychology 4. Student Financial Accounts

Happy personal development: I’m talking to several MPH programs so hopefully I’ll be getting some positive news in the Spring/Summer. I’ve been working to pivot to Public Health for about 1 1/2 years and now more than ever it feels important to join that field.

Ok this time I’m going to try to actually be active on here for real. Twitter is a wasteland and FB/Insta are rapidly becoming wastelands. I’ll need more hockey and science moots here though

The USFWS used its Endangered Species Act emergency authority today to protect the blue tree monitor lizard that is highly coveted in the pet trade. This monitor lizard only exists in the wild on Batanta Island in Indonesia. More info ➡️ biodiv.us/4a08aRB

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

Look at those teeth! Dentition of a long eared hedgehog. We recently acquired a digital microscope so we can get some up close photos and recordings of tiny skulls, and even better, we can bring this portable microscope to talks to show some neat things under it!! 🌱🦴🪲

If you see this, post a concert photo you took It’s really hard to choose just one, but seeing Orville Peck host one of the last drag performances in Alabama before their drag ban took effect was very special.

And if you are in FL or one of our neighboring states and need a safe person to talk to I’m here to talk. I have connections with some of our mutual aid organizations and can help you find resources. The best way we can get through this is by helping each other.

I’ve been trying to process the last couple of days but I don’t know if I have the right words. It’s scary, especially as an AFAB LGBTQ person with a reproductive health disorder. I’m going to do my best to throw myself into volunteering with my local mutual aid organizations.
