A FUTURE GAME SHOW: “Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder, so he gets the point. And, an extra bonus point goes to Sue, as she was offended by your answer.”

A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:
“Sorry, Arthur, your answer was correct, but Paul shouted his opinion louder so he gets the point. And an extra bonus point goes to Sue as she was offended by your answer.”

My grandparents survived the terrible abuse of the Federal Indian Boarding School Era. That trauma wasn't isolated to the past—it was carried down through my family all the way to me. And there are so many families like my own across Indian Country.

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

Christina Ricci in front of a patterned wall with the text: Maybe we should start talking about how many men out of 3 will sexually assault someone... instead of how many women out of 3 will be assaulted. Lets shift the ownership..

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone. Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable.

A friend has Covid right now. They have lost their sense of smell and they're having cognitive problems. This hit me today, as it often does: we made, and continue to make, a huge collective mistake in allowing a virus that impacts the brain to transmit unmitigated globally.

DNA methylation: unifying framework for complex chronic conditions — Sharma et al
Review. "epigenetic regulation, particularly DNA methylation, offers a powerful framework for linking environmental triggers, host susceptibility, and persistent changes in gene regulation. Its relative stability, sensitivity, and accessibility in peripheral tissues position it as a leading candidate for biomarker development, disease stratiﬁcation, and monitoring of disease trajectories."

Why do people make the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as rapists" argument but never the "young men shouldn't have their lives ruined by being identified as murderers" argument? Misogyny.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?

It never ceases to amaze me that the sort of men who claim women are too impulsive and emotional to be leaders are the same ones who swear sober men become completely incapacitated in reason and empathy in the presence of a drunk woman.

The sun kisses one ocean goodbye, and another hello. Every end is a beginning somewhere.

Photo by Travis Rupert. The sun hovers just above the horizon, casting molten gold across the surface of gently rolling waves. The sea breathes in slow pulses, washing over the shore with a shimmer that stretches toward the camera like a path of light. Sky and water melt into each other, shifting from deep blue to soft amber, as if the world is holding its breath at the edge of day.
