Thing is, the old science journalists couldn’t help but start writing about politics, because the politics got anti-science. And then we got iced.

So gender affirming care is fine and it’s for free as long as it’s for cis-men? Interesting…hm.

Told you. "Worse but cheaper" only works until it categorically fucking doesn't. "AI" cannot do these things and the people selling you on the idea that they can cannot be trusted.

I’ve been saying for months that the AI tools used in hiring are disproportionately rejecting various competencies and aren’t actually working. There is no way that I can skills match the job at 98%, BE BILINGUAL, and have a doctorate and not even get shortlisted. But I’m disabled. #bias #killAI

For people outside the science bubble: over the last 3 years, NIH researchers like me were informally encouraged to avoid working with mRNA technology in grant proposals. Pharmaceutical companies rely heavily on discoveries made with public funding first. This is the result:

Text reads: A New Hantavirus Vaccine Is in the Works
Since 2023, Moderna and Korea University have been developing a new mRNA vaccine for hantavirus. The work has been promising so far, but a finished product isn't likely coming any time soon.

Honestly this. I don’t want MORE papers, I don’t want MORE conferences to attend, and I don’t want MORE meetings scheduled. I want a quality papers. I want a few good conferences that are representative of the field and an EMAIL summary not a zoom 🙂‍↔️

The follow up this morning from the director of @furryweekend.com was about as bad of a non-apology as anyone could ask for. They stated that there were 15 staff on the con and despite having a full time dedicated office and being a for-profit con 🧵

I would also argue a large reason people aren’t applying to academic vacancies is because jobs in Higher Education mean …. Working in Higher Education. The systems which have failed them for anywhere from 4 to 10 years depending on the length of their program.

Capping this off to say, it’s a real eye opener when events fail. Vendors are in many ways your staff. They’re collaborating to make your event better and are a selling point to your event. People come to an event for good vendors. As an event - failing your vendors is a HUGE deal @furryweekend.com

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · 10/05/2026

Shutting down communication because it becomes critical isn’t helpful and shows no intent to resolve the issues. If FWA isn’t going to assist vendor staff and are actively making the shopping experience impossible for con-goers then I would consider boycotting. @furryweekend.com

There’s a fire and accessibility risk being created for no reason which seem bizarre. Only one door open for the AmericasMart room which is bottlenecking traffic and making it difficult for people to egress (for any person with a disability this HAS to be a nightmare) @furryweekend.com

Critical information only being relayed in a closed telegram chat is also a shock. No one can be added and screenshots recently were turned off. If you were a late addition to someone’s table as an assistant you are completely withheld from information @furryweekend.com

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · 10/05/2026

Staff have been disrespectful, patronising, rude, rejected assistance from more competent sources and they have cost vendors thousands of dollars for it. @furryweekend.com some examples. These are also interesting in that many things weren’t communicated to attendees OR vendors about the set up

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · 10/05/2026

There’s something to be said for organisations that have overlapping community that refuse to serve them in an equitable way. And as event organisers and planners it says a LOT about the directors and staff that drop the ball @furryweekend.com - people NOTICE.

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · 10/05/2026

And you would think that with how big @furryweekend.com has gotten they would want to learn from other large fan run cons in the Atlanta scene on how to be successful but instead it’s like they have doubled down on being absolutely terrible.

A bunch of friends and artists I know are at #fwa2026 #furryweekemdatlanta and it’s actually shocking how badly run this con is especially considering @furryweekend.com is utilising many of the same venues as @dragoncon.org - yet absolutely ZERO learned experience there

What’s funny is how the metro in France is hilariously and inhumanly disabled unfriendly and yet around the city I had the most access with my assistance dog ever. 🫠 it was embarrassing to the UK honestly.

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been denied access in the UK with an assistance dog I would be insanely wealthy actually it’s becoming sort of a sick joke how often it happens @scottishgov.bsky.social

Actually when I go to rent my favourite thing that I see is “you must have a registered assistance dog” that is just… so strange since, hold on let me check the law…. ah yes here it is:

Assistance dogs cannot be refused access under any means, under the Equality Act, requiring a person to show ID or carry ID is not a legal requirement

There is no registration for assistance dogs and refusing access to dogs who do not have a “registration” which again doesn’t exist is illegal and is discrimination.

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · 19/11/2025

You may be saying, well it's 2025 and the #UKEqualityAct2010 has protections against people with disabilities being discriminated against when it comes to housing - so Julie, when you go to find a place it must be really easy to just show them a task-trained assistance dog and gain access!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.
