It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

I've never been more grateful for sci comm than right now. Filling my calendar up with events to get the public into science not only keeps me sane, it gives me the chance to push back against the growing wave of stupidity out there.

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

Right now, foxes are being chased to exhaustion and torn apart by hounds—all in the name of ‘tradition.’

Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.

Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

I wanted a tattoo representing community support. The most altruistic bat combined with a fading icon of hope offers a lot of potential interpretations, especially right now. Kalatu at Three Kings really nailed my design 🦇🗽🧡

What does one do on BlueSky? I've never successfully maintained a Twitter, X, or Threads account...but maybe this is the one. Stoked to spread humorous bat content here.
