Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

I still have $750 to raise in the next two days. Thank you again to all who have donated and shared so far! Any dollar helps, even just sharing this when you see it.
Reaching out for mutual aid to keep our room for the next week as well as some other expenses. Any dollar helps but sharing and reposting is also extremely beneficial. Really cannot overstate how grateful I am for all the support. I know how rough it is out there. Thank you!

They claimed there was a truce, but it was just a word.
Every day they break it bombings continue, hunger continues, and every aid truck is still blocked.
Children are still dying.
Gaza is still bleeding. Please don’t look away. Your support is needed now more than ever.

Imagine the massacres you have to ignore to state that this is the first time the DOD is run by a rabid war criminal
How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Bumping this one last time. Still need to get $550 together by TOMORROW MORNING! Thank you again to anyone who has donated or shared or just sent well wishes. Any dollar helps but so does reposting.
I’m reach out for mutual to pay for our room for the next week. I’ve got an insane stretch of work coming up and pretty desperately need to have lodging secured through it. We need to raise $800 by the end of the week. Any dollar helps but so does sharing this when you see it!

The “canonical” story how Rosalind Franklin got wronged by Watson and Crick inadvertently makes her look far less scientifically competent than she was (“She did not realize the significance of her own data!”). This article offers a much more nuanced account of what happened.
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
