Grammar is not the “rules” you were taught in school. It’s what your brain does to make sense of the linguistic input it’s exposed to.
The “rules” you were taught are a hidden curriculum designed to maintain a social hierarchy. Before you learned them, you were already an expert at your language.

It seems we are already losing sight of the fact that a handful of billionaires effectively turned our information ecosystem into a Superfund site, no one knows how to clean up the mess, and simply telling the truth and hoping people find it is woefully insufficient

Laura Helmuth's impact on Scientific American & science journalism is immeasurable. She demonstrated how a major legacy publication could be a moral one: rigorous reporting on the climate crisis & untangling how science is political, such as explaining why trans kids deserve gender-affirming care
I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

Both Mercury and Venus have tails, like comets.
Mercury's is formed from sodium atoms being blasted free of its 'exosphere' (like an atmosphere, but too thin to behave like gases), and then fluorescing, due to cosmic radiation (like our polar auroras).
