Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

Science fiction can imagine travel across galaxies, and fantasy can give us dragons, immortality, and entire kingdoms built on magic. Yet television has sometimes struggled with a much simpler idea: Black women belonging at the center of those worlds.

I know the feed is bleak, but please have a brand new lamb picture. I wasn’t expecting this one, and he might be a premie, but his mom is great and he is eating well.

I usually try to split them up but I’ve got time constraints this year, so I went big 😬 Hopefully I won’t have too many regrets

If you could use a pick-me-up, check out the Smithsonian’s live cheetah cub cam. The five-day old cubs are beyond adorable, and an important addition to the captive breeding program for this vulnerable species.

Big dogs, little dogs, #aging, #epigenome & #transposons www.nature.com/articles/d41... — Study of ~900 dogs from ~120 breeds — Big dogs die earlier, accumulate epigenetic changes faster — gene promoters gain methylation — introns & transposons lose methylation (activate) via @nature.com

Big dogs age faster than little ones — rogue ‘jumping genes’ might be to blame

Study of almost 900 dogs from roughly 120 breeds finds that rapid ageing of large canines is linked to changes in the epigenome.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

Yep, a veterinarian in Colorado died from it after treating an infected cat, no one had it on their rule out list because it’s pretty uncommon

I keep seeing posts from non-medical folks talking about how Y pestis plague can be easily treated with antibiotics. The truth, as always, is complicated. The pneumonic (inhaled) form can be so rapidly fatal, it can take over so quickly and aggressively that treatment will fail. FYI. Hmpf.

If it’s the Y pestis plague, it has a pneumonic form which can be rapidly fatal. The bubo form is a little more amenable to antibiotics, if that helps

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

Phew, the news is dark. Here’s a moment of beauty to catch your breath 🌿

The sun sets in a layer of yellow sky at the horizon and the blue sky and pink clouds above and a line of trees silhouetted and a dark stone wall in the foreground. It’s very peaceful.

So, let's try this again, without the grammar error. Just finished my 20th novel. It features this dame:

While Pronghorn are not thought of some of the great overland migrants - they actually are pretty impressive movers. Here at their northern edge, they are moving south in raggedy herds, 100s of kms in a quest to find great, snow free areas to winter. #mammals

Vaccines don’t cause autism. But vaccines can help prevent it. This study found an increase in autism rates among babies born with rubella, who were infected by their moms during pregnancy. Vaccinating against rubella with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) prevents infection.
