In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

Although I’d love to be a science communicator, it falls apart because when I look at the diagram, all I worry about is that amp doesn’t have a flare base.

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump.

Dick Wolf has killed more black men than Leopold II.

I’ve avoided rideshare apps until now, but recently I’ve had to go to places where PT + walking is impractical and taxis are both horrifically expensive and unreliable late at night. Does anyone know whether DiDi is a more ethical option than Uber?

Making it easier to wreck the environment isn't going to help.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
