Hi friends! Unfortunately, I am no longer on this app. It is a hellscape and since getting my new phone, I just didn't bother to log in. Maybe I'll occasionally come here, but if you want to keep up with my content and my science, check me out on other places!

I'm sorry there was an adorable kids musical about sharks???? How did I miss this?

Trump cancels award winning children's musical on Day 1 as Chair of Kennedy Center.
Trump is afraid to let you see "Finn"—a shark's coming of age story—so I'm posting it here.
Here are the scary lyrics.👇
🎶If we learn how to live by the golden rule.
You and me we can swim with our chosen school.
Cause you know we are part of the same sea crew.
Yea, it's true! All ya gotta be is you!🎶
The musical was nominated just last week for Best New Play or Musical.
The show had been so successful that the Kennedy Center planned a two-year long national tour—something that had already been thought through, budgeted, and planned for.
From the creator of "Doc McStuffins" and "Vampirina," the children's musical " Finn" follows a young shark who dreams of following in his family's footsteps by joining the prestigious Shark Guard.

We can’t have LGB without T.
It’s black history month and I need all of you to remember Marsha P Johnson.
The State Department website has removed “TQI ” from its section on travel advice for LGBTQI travelers — now just “LGB.”

Free roaming domestic cats are not part of the natural order. They’re invasive.

This is crazy, and the impact would be devastating! About 20 years ago a new Tesco opened in my town, it was close to the River Bann. The area had a lot of feral cats, not long after building started, the cats all just disappeared, Tesco were blamed for rounding them up and killing them. It did not take long until the predictable happened, and their site was totally over-run with the rats from the river, the whole town suffered from the problem, this is what happens when you mess with the order of things!

Here, RFK, Jr. clearly and blatantly misinterprets a study funded by NIH. It is such a dangerous move for him to be in charge of Health and Human Services if he cannot properly read and interpret information from that field.
29 Jan 2025
🚨 BOOOOOM!!!
Senator Bennet might have just ended RFK Jr.'s chances of being nominated as HHS Secretary. Watch how he cuts through the BS and asks the tough questions.
THIS is how you do it.

There are people dying from suicide, from bullying, from wars and genocide, from gun violence, and this arthritic tapeworm with the wrong shade of foundation is worried about whether or not you tell people what to call you in your email signature? Sick.

This is what happens when we select a president who prioritizes conflict over governance.
No effort to understand or explain. No looking forward to solutions. No accountability or leadership.
This sounds like a post from a guy with no power or access to expertise.
ALT Trump on Truth Social: "The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn't the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!"

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…
