Hello CoSo! Another Twitter refugee here ... I am a geneticist focusing on epigenetic inheritance in yeast and in mouse, special focus these days on paternal effects and sperm biology. Gonna try to find some science peeps and some artists to follow -- say hello!

SCOTUS' first Black woman justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the U.S. Constitution is not 'race blind' and that governments may consider race to ensure that people are treated equally

*breathes deeply* not too musky in here

I have been worried almost sick that the Orange Fascist will “win” this election with more cheating.

Then my package of 200 postcards showed up in the mail today.

OMG! Can I do this? With my arthritis?

YES! I can and I will! This is my antidote to election anxiety. I will focus every single night after work to complete as many cards as I physically am able.

If I can inspire even a few people to vote who otherwise might not, I will have done my part.

Wow! I just read this opinion piece by Billy Graham’s granddaughter. She really slams tRUmp and how evangelical church leaders ignore how what he does is opposite of Christian values.

I hope more evangelicals agree with her.

Never mind. Apparently the solution is to post something and the monkey leaves. LOL

I am signed in on my new phone. Android. Using Chrome. Fully updated. Asked for desktop site so I could try out MSNBC on my phone. Instead, of the news channel lineup, there's a monkey ad wanting me to go Pro. I am already Pro. How do I make the monkey go away so I can watch the news?

Enjoying watching the convention via MSNBC link here on CoSo. Having it here means I can watch ANYWHERE, not just on TV. This is my favorite PRO perk. 💙💙

Yes! Secretary Clinton on Maddow said IT is a

FINALLY! I have been screaming this into the wilderness, unheard. It needed to be said.

Happy Birthday! Hope your day is as special as you are!

And from everything I read in reputable sources, wearing a mask only protects others, and minimally protects me. I am feeling extremely anxious and vulnerable.

If I could afford to retire, I would turn in the papers Monday. But I cannot afford it.

😱

They are exempting older people from jury service... people only a couple years older than me.

One of my opponents is a Viking wannabe — has a Mohawk style white boy haircut. He refuses to wear a mask, telling me that re-breathing air is “gross” but telling the judge that his asthma prevents it.

So he will be a plague rat often within 6 feet of me.

My client hasn’t been social distancing or masked while in a jail that doesn’t test people. They just isolate them if they have fever.

But being an older public defender during a pandemic that kills and disables the elderly disproportionately ihas put me in a quandary. How do I both do my job well and still protect myself and my older, disabled husband?

I am supposed to do a jury trial next week. If it goes, they have plexiglass up in the courtroom to protect others. But me? I will have a mask, but zero social distancing for at least two days.

I cannot post this anywhere that people know who I am. But I need to vent.

I am a public defender. It’s underpaid work, but I have always believed in it. My job is to defend the poor who are charged with crimes and who don’t have the money to hire lawyers.

Walter Shaub is now casually pointing out that we are in a coup. I mean, he used that word.

Thank you, Walter Shaub
