My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.

Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

i suppose past a certain point all social media devolves into stress, bots, and nonsense... so this is as good a vehicle as any

"autistic? but you aren't like elon" is gonna be what drives me into the sweet uninhibited embrace of supervillainy

REMEMBER KIDS
when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query
Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.
This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

generation Y are you saying it like that

Check out our new Polar Vortex Blog! Though parts of the US have been very cold and snowy, experts do not think there's much evidence that the polar vortex is the main driver of our winter weather so far this year. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

you can do it brain

trying to convince my brain to be good and absorb new information which feels like trying to convince a toddler to ignore an active apocalypse and have a nap

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

it's worth remembering that this is the case with all of eugenics, which is science flavored bigotry

TO: <ALL STAFF>

Please respond to this email confirming that I am cool and funny. Failure to do so will be taken as confirmation of the same.

I believe we’ll look back at tonight as a major turning point.

Remember, everything is part of the same story.

They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

what a joy to behold chris murphy's plain english recounting of the truth. first time in my life i've ever felt like my vote had any power at all. thanks senator

wish i had recorded the deranged sound that came out of my mouth when i saw that eggs are finally an even 10 dollars per dozen where i live

Absolutely this. I’ve been reporting on ASMR for over a decade now. It’s a relaxation tool that is supposed to produce sensations associated with being calm and happy, even lulling people to sleep. The White House invoking it alongside immigrants being shackled w/o due process is social manipulation

as a 12th generation english-american i have my suspicions that america is just the cursed house in poltergeist (1982 film) and we are locked inside

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

ICYMI: a post about why the firings at NIH this weekend devastated cancer research. And other biomedical research too.

Building a science lab is like building a new company: it takes years to put together the right team. Many lab groups are now broken.

Good morning friends. This morning is tough. So many missing faces. If going to work feels like a hard act of resistance it’s because it is. Working is resisting. Keep showing up!

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but if even if you're not an artist, that goofy meme idea in your head will be a thousand times funnier if you just do a crappy drawing of it yourself vs using generative A.I.

i suppose it is important to note i am not in fact there yet (but closer day by day)

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.

There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.

And we absolutely can reach them.

not my first choice, but i can and will survive this out of pure spite
