We can’t figure sex in skeletons of children bc, pre-puberty, they are the same. Nothing distinguishes boy skeletons from girl skeletons or male from female in kids. All those changes happen later and definitely not in utero. #sex #gender #bioarchaeology #forensicanthro

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

whining out loud during a televised interview that the reporter should let you lie bc they owe you for the interview is pretty wild
This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
