It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

I've never been more grateful for sci comm than right now. Filling my calendar up with events to get the public into science not only keeps me sane, it gives me the chance to push back against the growing wave of stupidity out there.

I've already hit my vanity limit on Instagram, so this "I was born to wear Velma sweaters" selfie is a BlueSky exclusive.

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’ Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community. Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

Illustrated image divided into four panels, each showing a head of a bat with a text label. Top left: little guy, a regular looking back with a dark face and light colored fur, top right: little guy deluxe, a bat with a mask and large ears alongside a bat with a leaf shaped nose, bottom left: what is even going on here, a visored bat with a large forehead next to a bat with a large, wrinkly nose, bottom right: o hi doggie, a fruit bat with its tongue sticking out.

I wanted a tattoo representing community support. The most altruistic bat combined with a fading icon of hope offers a lot of potential interpretations, especially right now. Kalatu at Three Kings really nailed my design 🦇🗽🧡

What does one do on BlueSky? I've never successfully maintained a Twitter, X, or Threads account...but maybe this is the one. Stoked to spread humorous bat content here.
