Any toxicologists out there? Or anyone studying effects of PFAS, mercury, PBDEs, lead, plastics etc etc etc. Would love to find you! Environmental, ecological, pharmacological and whatever else! #toxic 🧪 #environment #health #ecosystem

Oh, the irony. Or is it the reality? Waiting for a webinar on plastics a few days before the Halloween rush.

“Citing “critical hiker overpopulation,” wildlife biologists say the move will restore the Appalachian ecosystem’s natural balance, as “migratory thru-hiker herds” have exponentially increased since the extinction of natural predators.” 🤣🤣🤣

What does tyranny look like? What does authoritarianism look like? What does cruelty look like? It looks like #ICELawlessness! It looks like this! It looks like people being arrested, brutalized & assaulted for no reason & not read their Miranda rights. Please read Gideon's Trumpet! Vote blue! 🧵

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

Joseph: Range Anxiety isn't an issue anymore Trolls: Chinese EVs, not affordable Me: Oh unserious people, you can buy an EV and solar for less than the cost folks are paying for the average new car, we get it, you're a fossil fuel tool.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

This is disastrous AND almost exactly one year ago, we warned it would happen: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @michaelemann.bsky.social @vambros.bsky.social @carlbergstrom.com @briannosek.bsky.social

So true. Thank you for putting this into words so clearly @blanphear.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/blanphea...

BREAKING: A handful of Senate Republicans are finally starting to join Democrats to pull the emergency brake and end Trump’s war with Iran. Now is the moment to keep pushing. Call your members of Congress.

All the car parks to the supermarkets and hyper markets in this area are done. Plus quite a few much smaller parking areas. All new agricultural buildings have solar panel roofs as well.

Why not lower the age to legally smoke while at it. May as well start initiating those cancers as early as you can so you can get an early start on treatment.

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

Just “some”??? Trump’s Threat to Wipe Out a ‘Whole Civilization’ Appalls Some on the Right www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/w...

This is psychotic. The President of the United States needs to get help. Totally unhinged and extremely dangerous.

Happy Passover to all who are observing tonight & over the next week! Looking to add an environmental health theme to your Seder? Try this list for the 10 plagues: PFAS Microplastics BPA Wildfires Floods Lead Cadmium Hexavalent Chromium Formaldehyde Pre-polluting the first-born

THIS perfectly describes most of today’s media bias and failure!

When will these companies say “yes, we could. But no, we won’t…” We wont release more pollutants, we won’t drive a species into extinction, we wont trade health for $$$ www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Rick Steves: "Know people before you bomb them." On Death, Sex & Money, the travel writer reflects on the 2009 episode of his show on Iran. Watch now on YouTube: youtu.be/MGQw7_-6uCw?...

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

This is one of the guys responsible for terminating grants like mine, forever changing the trajectory of my career. And he can’t even say what DEI is. It would be funny if the consequences hadn’t been so harmful. See my pinned post to get a sense of the damage they caused.

Just watched this. For anyone, everyone who pulled a book from its shelf and checked it out; for any kid who borrowed the book that they needed, that spoke to them, that opened their mind, gave them the support they needed — your librarians are powerhouses. thelibrariansfilm.com

Trump has spent more in 10 days on his reckless war in Iran than America spends in two years on community health centers providing medical care for low-income and uninsured Americans. Our priorities are out of whack in this country.

Geneticist Evelyn Witkin (b. #OTD 1921) pioneered work on DNA damage repair & mutagenesis. Her discovery of the SOS response revealed how cells actively respond to genetic threats, laying foundations for insights into cancer, aging, radiation effects & chemotherapy resistance. #WomenInSTEM #WHM

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Great game, Canada! It was an honor/honour to play against such fantastic neighbors/ neighbours.
