In addition to the country sliding into a fascist authoritarian regime, I’m also trying to prep for my wedding, a move, and a surgery all in the next 3 months and I’m handling that by baking bread and crying

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀
Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯
A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

I don’t think I’ll ever forget telling my therapist, “my childhood was good, I wasn’t abused, and my needs were always met” and then telling a few stories and her having to gently explain to me that my needs were NOT being met 🥲😅

in 2008, I had nothing. so when everybody lost everything it was hard for me to watch with anything other than morbid curiosity. now I have something, but my something is much closer to nothing than everything, so it's still mostly morbid curiosity with a light seasoning of existential dread
