Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

October 31 should not be a spookiness cliff, where spookiness drops precipitously the second it's over. There should be a slow, month-long decline in spookiness where spookiness levels gradually drop off during November at the same rate per day as they increased in October.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

Oh my god T. Kingfisher has given a perfect description of a lab tech in her latest book! 😍😅 @tkingfisher.com This, and all the related paragraphs, are exactly on point for how many of us in the lab feel (and why we're there and not seeing patients!)

We have credible reports from an anonymous source that the US Secret Service saw a sign that said "JD Vance puts ketchup on his oysters" and approached protestors at their hotel to ask if this was an insult.

Just finished Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and if I wasn’t already enraged about health care in the US let alone on the planet, I sure am now. Fascinating read on the history of the disease, and development and disparity of treatments.

The media needs to stop referring to RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic." He is a conspiracy theorist and a vaccine denier.

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way
So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

People just learning of Worcester from ICE news should understand that the 2nd largest city New England is also a refugee resettlement community. My block is made up of people from all over the world. By design. And while the WPD response was horrific, our community showed up and will continue to.
