Increasing numbers of young people are debating whether to have kids, and many great points have been made on both sides of the debate, but the truth is that it’s a highly individual decision and you can’t know the real answer until you’ve stepped on a fucking triceratops

i like after washing thoroughly my hands to strongly squinch them, with wet fingertips rubbing against my palms and thumb across middle and index. the clean squeakiness and vibration in bones reminds me of an icebreaker ship crunching through frozen glacier

so much to unpack with this framing, but in particularly struck by the way they put the victim's life circumstances as something that also happens to her abuser
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the "big three" research animal models for studying embryonic development & regeneration.
This is what the embryos look like under scanning electron microscopy. They look surprised 😮?

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
