I wrote about how we must stand and fight against the threat of eugenics.
Fueled by white nationalism and scientific racism, these beliefs are factually wrong and ethically abhorrent.
This fight includes supporting efforts to diversify our workforce & science. To stop now would be a deep betrayal.

Eugenics is on the rise again: human geneticists must take a stand
Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics.

•if you can, get a sewing machine. if you have one, get an extra needle.
•sharpen old scissors or buy good new ones; keep one pair JUST FOR FABRIC.

My sourdough starter actually tripled in size for the first time! I’m so proud 💜 I’ve only been able to get her to double before she falls back down.

So, I was given some sourdough starter on Sunday and I’ve been counter feeding it for the past few days. I didn’t know that most people discard some of their starter between feedings. After I make my 5000 loaves of bread tonight, I think my starter is going to have to live in the fridge. 🥖

Regardless of who farmers voted for, we as a society can’t live without food. This should enrage everyone. USAID contracts provide 2 billion dollars each year to American farmers. If they don’t survive, we won’t survive.
The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.
And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.
A "new Golden Age" for whom?

The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not affect benefits that go directly to individuals.

MCAO troubles: today my filament went into the pterygopal artery and I could not for the life of me get it to stay in the ICA. And then I accidentally cut it while trying to ligate 😭 but this has got to be the final hurdle 💪🏽

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
