I cannot regulate my body temperature today. I used to hate summer and now winter is worse. #pots
Genocide and eugenics are not helping.
This is so real. I’ve reported on this over the years in many forms. Coral reef scientists. Conservationists caring for endlings. Public health workers in the pandemic. Journalists covering all the above. The people bearing witness are not okay.
One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.
UPDATED ceasefiretoday.com to include a list of pro-Palestinian protests around the world. Even if you don't live in the US, you can still use this site to find ways to take action:

Took a week social media hiatus and wow it can get worse.
Hey everyone,
My IRL friend is struggling. She lost her job & is currently babysitting & working per diem with staffing companies but has not been able to keep up with her bills. She currently has no electricity in her apt & needs $827 to get it turned back on.

The official White House line is that Palestinian resistance is unprovoked terrorism. But Israel locked Gaza in an open air prison. They’ve bombed and attacked this prison. Settlers have been killing people in the West Bank. Resistance to apartheid violence is utterly provoked.
According to experts in genetics, human DNA Submitted to lab testing for dog DNA should result in an error, and not in any type of dog breed. However, after submitting the DNA of Dhanraj, two companies identified his DNA as belonging to specific breeds. DNA My Dog identified Dhanraj as Level 2 basenji and Level 2 beagle. According to the company, Level 2 could mean one of Dhanraj's parents was purebred. Accu-metrics identified Dhanraj's DNA as the same breed that Marketplace told the company it "suspected" the breed was: Level 2 Central Asian shepherd dog. As well, it identified Level Turkish kangal, Level 4 mastiff and Level 5 akbasth.
Amazing.

CDC and NIH still differ on how many waves occurred.
My great grandfather died of the pneumonia brought on by the Spanish flu. His son attended his funeral; died very shortly after with the Spanish flu.
It pisses me off we can’t break the decades long tradition it takes to adopt public health.
Reminder that the CDC's decision to go from 10 to 5-day isolation guidance for COVID was a political decision.
We need universal paid sick leave.
Many of you have reached out in recent days inquiring about Biobot’s future with CDC NWSS. The contract Biobot held with CDC NWSS for the last few years was up for rebid this summer, and was recently awarded to Verily, an Alphabet precision health technology company.
While we are disappointed with this news, we are incredibly proud of the work we’ve accomplished with CDC to date, and we know that this decision had nothing to do with our past performance. This is just the reality of how government contracting works.
We remain committed to our vision and look forward to continuing our work with federal, state and local public health agencies, wastewater treatment plants, universities, and private companies all across the country to bring the vast potential of wastewater epidemiology to life.
Important wastewater data update: Biobot has lost its contract. This is disappointing news as wastewater data has been difficult to communicate to the public, and Biobot has been one of the leaders in making COVID wastewater data easy to understand.

If you haven’t seen the President of one of the country’s biggest unions announce that UAW successfully folded electric vehicle workers into the national union contract, all while wearing an “eat the rich” shirt, you might want to go check that out.
For anyone who's a little slow to move around like me and needs a map to find where to turn on the alt text req.
This will help anyone who has a hard time remembering to do it and find yourself reposting a lot.
You can even add a little more to the post through alt text.
Terrifying.
I'm starting to run into people (online) that have forgotten that covid exists or that it ever existed at all.
These aren't denialists they aren't saying it doesn't exist it's like their brain has literally reset to 2019 and they have never even heard of it.
This is terrifying.
Shocked 😒 to learn a man who's suing his ex and her friends for "abortion trafficking" also previously threatened to drop the lawsuit if she continued having sex w/ him & he threatened to release intimate videos of her to get her fired
It was never about being pro life

So proud to support UAW and its president. The only president willing to do his job.
Amen.
