I will not let recent history dictate my emotions. Trans ally. Utterly befuddled by discrimination of any kind. Boats, trains, planes, road trips...yep. Ask me about my Catahoula dog or my antique orange kitty.
The election in my area was for the Public Service Commission. Lucky for me, the early voting location is the public library. Voted and borrowed books. Win!

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A family friend asked me to put my spin on the “They Didn’t Burn Witches / They Burned Women” design that’s been circulating for a while. Spent some time earlier & I'm really happy with it.

Please like & share 🖤✨️

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere.

Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

My life’s wisdom. Inspired by & dedicated to the memory of my father, Cyril DeGrasse Tyson - Civil Rights era sociologist.

It's what conflicts & disagreements among us look like when you’re scientifically literate — sprinkled with a dose of Cosmic Perspective.

NEW: As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, communities along the Cane River in the Black Mountains were particularly vulnerable.

But there were no evacuation orders, and few grasped what was coming.

💫 Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Healthy relationships have balance. If you are constantly walking on eggshells, it's time to reassess. ⚖️

If something feels off in a relationship, it probably is.

27 years later, I still miss my Dad. A photo of the two of us popped up on my phone. A good man who worked two jobs to make a good life for us. He taught me to respect unions. He taught me to question my own assumptions.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.

California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.

No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.
Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.

Red state Republicans love to hate us… but they sure don’t mind cashing the checks.
