If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Octavia E. Butler described Toni Cade Bambara as "probably incapable of sitting back and saying, 'Someone ought to do something about that!' whatever 'that' might be. She just goes out and does it." Like Bambara said, "The most effective way to do it, is to do it."

I’m seeing more and more discussions from cis men about the costs of speaking up against rape culture. And. Well. It’s so deeply unrelatable. And I’m just barely 5’ tall, can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t been called a bitch (yes that includes childhood). Please grow a fucking spine.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

dinosaurs and bugs happily party together at the Save the Academy family rally. Saturday September 26, 2-6pm 1900 ben Franklin parkway, come dressed as your favorite dinosaur, insect, animal, or just yourself! There's a duck billed dino, a triceratops, a brachiosaurus, a pterodactyl, a millipede, dragonfly, and beetle!

Dems replaced action on trans rights with hollow statements, then dropped those statements, then embraced anti-trans rhetoric. Now supporting anti-trans laws and blocking pro-trans ones. At every step the "they're betraying us" radicals were correct and "be patient" liberals were completely wrong.

Making a joke online and it being treated as 100% serious is the equivalent of telling a joke to your parent/guardian(s) and then them goin on a rant about the related topic and not even laughing at your joke.

Transphobia and the oppression of children are linked to the point that trans adults are often treated like de facto children. One way we see this is how we’re told continually that we don’t understand grown-up politics, as if our political concerns are childish and immature.

One of my pet peeves is when I give someone money through like, Cash App or PayPal or whatever and they don’t take it out right away. I don’t often have much in my bank. If you don’t take it when I give it you are likely to make me overdraft when you do randomly take that money out.

My six year old got her 26-27 Covid vaccine today! Unfortunately most local pediatricians don’t seem to carry it but we got it done at the CVS minute clinic. Unfortunately it was out of network and we had to pay out of pocket. Vaccines should be accessible and affordable for everyone.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)
Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was

Clownfish aren't born male or female. They're born undifferentiated, then the largest in a group becomes female and the second largest becomes male. If the female dies, the male becomes female. That's just one fish. There are over 34,000 species. And the diversity is wild. #fish #ocean #nature
