I'm an nerd, and fan, microbiologist and writer by trade but caregiver by circumstance. Secretly dreaming of a life as an artisan baker. Love animals, love true crime, despise MAGA, and proud and .

Here’s the thing for me: Even if Elon Musk doesn’t end up buying Twitter, I’m still not going back. It’s still a cesspit of crap that I just don’t want to waste my time with. I’m not here just because of the possible “Elon deal”; I’m here because it’s a *better* place. 👍

Hi there, Cosonauts. Been a little radio silent due to family obligations - Mother's Day also marked five months since I lost my own mother to dementia. It's been rough. I'm hanging in there, though.


Quantum mechanics could explain why DNA can spontaneously mutate.

It had been thought that such quantum behavior could not occur inside a living cell's warm, wet and complex environment. Erwin Schrödinger had suggested in his 1944 book "What is Life?" that quantum mechanics can play a role in living systems. This latest work seems to confirm Schrödinger's theory.

Good morning CoSo! Time for coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. ☕

Dave Chappelle is trash, but no comedian deserves to be assaulted.

What's worse is that, knowing Chappelle he's gonna use this incident to spew out more hateful garbage.

And the Alt Right is gonna do everything they can to turn him into a martyr.

Good morning, friends. Got a lousy bit of sleep last night and I'm desperately low on spoons. So I'm thinking crappy movies and maybe a nap is on the agenda for today.

PSA - We are going to be making some performance tweaks under the hood today, so expect some weirdness, 522s , sporadic downtime.

It's all good.

"I had read about such devices before. But watching the scene on the beach towel brought history into focus with startling clarity: Women did this the last time abortion was illegal."

I don't even have the words right now to express the rage I'm feeling regarding SCOTUS.

All I can say is that the fight has just begun. Vote like your life depends on it, because for uterus-havers, it fucking well does.

I'm biologically beyond the ability to conceive. I don't need birth control. That does not absolve me from taking up this fight right next to women it will affect. Fuck SCOTUS.

Women will die. SCOTUS are culpable. Greatest country in the world? I don’t think so. Victorian standards and a Disdain for women, minorities and the poor. Sickening.

Most of all, VOTE. Treat every election like it is as important as a presidential one, because each is. Local races may even be even more important.

But there is more that can be done. Join an organization that get out the vote, or advocates for voting rights. League of Women Voters, Common Cause, there are lots of non-partisan ones. They can help you connect with your community, learn how to monitor your state and local legislation, train to register voters, and more.
