A 24 year old farm worker was killed by heat in Mississippi.
No worker should be killed on the job, but we still have no enforceable federal heat protection rules. 1/

Naomi Johnson models a Dobbs hat for a photo by Alfred Cheney Johnston, 1929. When he wasn’t taking revealing “undraped” photos of Ziegfeld Follies performers, Johnston was also a commercial portraitist for a variety of advertisers. (Fashion Friday Thread)

I rode a rollercoaster from the 1920s and it was scarier than I imagined! I'll definitely ride again next time I'm in the area.

The Trump administration announced this week it will shut down six of eight U.S. Forest Service research facilities in California as part of a major national reorganization that could leave the state underequipped to manage escalating wildfire and drought threats.
These California research stations prepare for fire risk. The Trump administration is shutting them down
The U.S. Forest Service will close the majority of its research facilities in California as part of sweeping changes.

Seeing what happened to people my age who *were* diagnosed as children, I don’t envy that experience.
I do wish that I’d had more effective supports younger.
It’s complicated.

Does Build-A-Bear actually destroy its returns? I've heard claims of this, but can't find the evidence. Yet much to my horror, I can believe it. Someone needs to film it and expose it to the public. #fucklatestagecapitalism #fuckconsumerculture

I wish more people understood the terror disabled people face when dealing with housing insecurity, poverty and unsafe caregivers.
Many in the community are forced to rely on abusive people for survival.
It shouldn’t be this way.
We desperately need more support & resources.

One thing that's been frustrating me INTENSELY this last few years is a pattern of brilliant Autistic autism researchers, doing important & fascinating work, struggling to get jobs in academia, or being pushed out of jobs they had before.
Most universities seem unable to see how valuable they are.

We joke about "saving the bees," but the reality is existential. Agriculture is the bedrock of society, and pollination is the bedrock of agriculture. Break the chain, and we don't just go back to the Stone Age—we go back to the dust.
