“Indigenous resistance made the nation of Canada possible.” “What these Conservatives fail to understand is this: we only have a country today because of the determination of Indigenous leaders like Tecumseh, who led the defence of Canada in 1812.” So much respect for @charlieangus104.bsky.social

More and more chatter in COVID-aware and variant tracker spaces about a COVID summer wave. That includes from modelers who don't constantly and almost always erroneously predict an imminent surge. Notably, there are several multi-recombinant variants gaining significant ground.

Trump's budget plan may cut NASA science funding by up to 50%, alarming scientists who call it an "extinction-level event" for space science. This threatens ongoing missions and would cede future space exploration to China. Also, about 30% of NASA's science budget is for Earth and climate science.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. You can choose to dress in certain ways to elicit certain reactions (e.g., perform respectability), but real respect is about more meaningful actions. Important to not conflate how you choose to dress with how you judge others. Dress respectability is Victorian ethics.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.
