Among other reasons, censorship is bad because a lot of these terms are used multiple ways. “Confirmation bias” is the most common logical fallacy, for example - I’d like the folks at NSA to be particularly attuned to it.

2. A memo distributed by NSA leadership to its staff says that on February 10, all NSA websites and internal network pages that contain banned words will be deleted.

This is the list of 27 banned words distributed to NSA staff:
Anti-Racism Racism Allyship Bias DEI Diversity Diverse Confirmation Bias Equity Equitableness Feminism Gender Gender Identity Inclusion Inclusive All-Inclusive Inclusivity Injustice Intersectionality Prejudice Privilege Racial Identity Sexuality Stereotypes Pronouns Transgender Equality

In children per year, the US birth rate is at an all-time low, but in Miles’ per hour it’s at an all time high.

Oak treehoppers have my whole heart. These photos show the difference in size between mamas and their offspring at varying instars. I love them so much. 💛 Mamas stay with their babies throughout their development, protecting them from predators like wasps. Unusual behavior for a bug.
An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing many small brown treehopper nymphs. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing a single small treehopper nymph. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch facing a single black, white, and red treehopper nymph about half her size. An adult female oak treehopper rests on branch face-to-face with a large black, white, and red nymph nearly her length.

This creature from that nest remains and probably always will be the coolest thing I've found: the bilateral gynandromorph Polyergus longicornis; half worker, half winged male alate. A They/Them Ant. 🖤❤️
Still feels kind of surreal!
🌿🐜🧪
Black and red ant split neatly down the middle head to gaster; the black half being the male alate, and the red the female worker. The black half has a wing, the red does not. View of the other side of the creature, the red worker half. Top down view; the single translucent wing is covering nearly the whole gaster. The head and thorax is red on the right, black on the left. The creature, facing you, showing off the wild difference between each half. The worker mandible is like 4x the size of the alate mandible. The alate eye is roughly twice the size of the worker eye.
