This app did the thing yet again where it updated itself and turned “Require alt text before posting” off, so if you have that set, go into Settings > Accessibility and turn it back on (and if you don’t have it set, I recommend doing that)

13-year-old step kid just told me their friend wasn’t at school today because he had a really bad reaction from the tear gas.
And he wasn’t even outside.

AI has gotten much better at a lot of things, but my mental model that it should only be used for tasks you would give an overeager and overconfident intern remains pretty solid.

I have 100 stamped postcards if you want me to send one on your behalf! Just DM me your details.
Are you a healthcare worker or scientist (or know someone who is)? #RFKJr is bragging that he has your support. Time to let Congress know HCWs and scientists do NOT support this man. Take a few minutes to send in a postcard. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/hel...

I missed everyone talking about the 100th anniversary of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin’s dissertation yesterday.
BUT, just four short months ago I wrote a whole thread about her and work, so idk maybe I was early?

Would you like some good news? This guy just left with a nice man and his 3-year-old son to go meet the rest of the family and try out their house as a potential forever home. 🥹

Oh this is delightful!
Common root is Latin, radix, root.
The PIE root—or in this case the root root—is:
—*wrād (“root”)
Other fun words that come from this:
- licorice
- ramada
- rhizoid
- rhizome
- rutabaga
- wort
Knowing that radical means getting to the root of the issue is p great.
