Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

I'm glad that this dengue story from the Sarasota ABC affiliate includes the detail that aedes egypti mosquitoes have been in Florida since at least the transatlantic slave trade, because not enough people realize that the mosquitoes have been in the Americas for centuries.

They force you to slow down: In life, we hate the feeling of being "bogged down" or stuck. But nature uses these spaces to slow things down, store energy, and protect the planet. Sometimes, hitting pause and sinking into the mess is exactly where the magic happens. 4/

Curious if anybody out there has *diverse* cladoceran DNA they could share? Like, we have Daphnia and Ceriodaphnia in hand but want to capture as much diversity as possible for an upcoming assay. Besides, Bosmina are so cute.
A little Bosmina longirostris, I always thought they looked like tiny elephants.

The Bulwark reports that Clavicular has been charged in Massachusetts with rape, drugging a person for sex, and providing alcohol to a minor.
Clavicular is 20 years old, it looks like the person he is accused of "raping" was 16 at the time, and she was allegedly "too drunk" to give consent (i.e., she consented by the normal definition of the term when people hook up). Age of consent in Massachusetts is 16, so she was old enough.
The charges are all about her being drunk.
She says she woke up with him penetrating her, which seems like it would be hard to prove given she already had sex with him and was sleeping next to him. Chances are good that the charges are based on the initial sex alone.
Basically, it looks like Clavicular drank alcohol and had sex with someone of legal age. By the modern abuse of language, we now call that
"drugging and raping."
Oh and then she later did a livestream with him where she let him inject things into her face. A very credible accuser.
