We won’t back down from fighting for our right to vote.

Let's talk about using phasing in white. I adore Perch Protection and I have started using it more.
Teferi's Protection is great, Clever Concealment is great, Galadriel's Dismissal is also great.

I'm sure it is also situational.

Donald Trump broke his "no tax on tips" promise in his Big Ugly Bill by making it no tax on only the first $25,000 in tips.

Meanwhile, Trump is curtailing cancer research.

The Trump administration moved to roll back the 2001 Roadless Rule, opening 58M acres of protected forest—including Alaska’s Tongass—to logging, roads, and development. The change threatens critical habitat for species like the rare Alexander Archipelago wolf.

The idea of orcas/killer whales trimming down bull kelp stalks to the right length and then pushing the piece of stem against a partner and rolling it between their bodies is just extraordinary. 🦑🧪

Very much enjoyed reporting on this for @livescience.com

This was a real highlight for me even though it is some distance from my own science 🧪🔭 #rubinfirstlook
I really like this video showing some of the 2104 asteroids found in 10 hours of data - really gives a sense of how Rubin's view of the changing sky will be different. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrmI...
