@ethankocak.com Have you been holding out on us?
How come none of you have ever informed me that Spotted Salamanders have a symbiotic relationship with algae that grow in their eggs (algae supply larvae with oxygen and sugar)? That algae may live within them and pass to future generations?

Algae Living inside Salamanders Aren't Happy about the Situation
The world’s only known vertebrate–microbe symbiosis appears to be good for the salamander, but stressful for the alga. So why do they put up with it?

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

@johnbirdsall.bsky.social was at the 1984 convention and witnessed when Jackson was the only candidate to come out and cheer on the LGBT march! bsky.app/profile/scot...
Also, Jesse Jackson loudly stood up for gay people at a very serious moment when hate and fear against us was at its peak in the AIDS crisis. This was a real risk but the right thing to do. And it’s a reason I despise modern Democrats who waffle and hedge on trans rights. BE MORE JESSE JACKSON ⭐
Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.
