I am reminded tonight how important it is for women to be inspired by other brave, pioneering women as I watch dozens and dozens of women post gift links to Jane Goodall obituaries and articles
Keep it up, ladies.
No matter where you live, please consider adopting an animal from your local shelter. I promise you they will brighten your life beyond measure. They are the comfort on hard days. Even if you can't fully adopt, your local shelter could use help fostering. Reach out to them to see.
This is pretty incredible
CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.
Until today.
Meta quietly updated its hateful conduct policy to allow users to refer to "women as household objects or property" among other offensive language.
Wonderful thread. Be ready with a freshly made hot pot of coffee (hot freshly made pot of coffee?) if you decide to read to the end.
An important update, esp. for new users.
Neil deGrasse Tyson tweets: "In school, rarely do we learn how data become facts, how faces become knowledge, and how knowledge becomes wisdom." Matthew Gabriele quote tweets: "Literally, the Humanities."

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists.

A group of us are coordinating, to listen to a Haydn Symphony each day. We all started slightly differently but will converge on the same work early next week. Today, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue we are covering 40, 61, 45, 30 and 84 in any order. Want to join this Starter Pack? go.bsky.app/TMUf57F
This is a book cover. The background is an abstract watercolor painting, divided into upper and lower halves by a horizon line. Above the line is a kind of sky, composed of blue and green washes; to the right, sitting on the line, a chartreuse figure overlaps a brown, humped figure. Below the line is the text: Turned Earth, poems, Brad Richard.
Turned Earth, my fifth collection of poems, is available for pre-order from LSU Press. The official release date is 2/7/25, and I hope you will consider giving the book a pre-release boost by ordering a copy. I would also be thrilled to visit classes and give readings!
