Molecular/cellular biologist, currently mostly pancreatic cancer research (developmental neurobiology by PhD training). Ready to stand against what's coming after this election. Oh, and my dog, Simon, is pretty cute 🙂.
Literally the least we can all do!
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Businesses need to get off X and onto Bluesky. I would personally be so much more supportive of a company that did that.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

A good concise explanation of the military promotions slowed to a crawl vs these cabinet nominations.
The promotions were forced to go through hearings and individual votes by tuberville. They were still normal majority votes. Vought went through the normal process so nothing more Dems could do. But yes they should deny unanimous consent to everything.

I have an uncle (from rural KY) who blew up at my brother when he brought an Anheuser Busch beer with him to visit, devolving into really hateful and bigoted attacks, so he didn't get a save the date to my wedding with my fiance, Michael. Now his brother "has a question for me" about the wedding

I am learning to knit and starting with a super basic but long project (a blanket) that will show (hopefully) my progress. At the same time, my seed grown passionflower vine is blooming 👍

Anyone who takes money from Musk should be primaried and ostracized from the party. Musk spent millions getting Trump elected.
He's literally trying to buy himself congress, right out in the open.

My seed grown indoor passion flower vine has decided to bloom, just under 18 months since I stuck a seed from a passion fruit into the pot with my polka dotted begonia and promptly forgot I did so... 😁

I have a really short attention span when gaming, but I've really liked Skyrim and no man's sky. Does anyone have any recommendations?

So, the leadership at my company has decided all employees must fall in a normal distribution of performance, meaning half fall below the average, but "that just means they could be contributing more compared to their colleagues"
