People reeeeeally need to brush up on their history and learn what was destroyed in the first Nazi book burning.
We hold the line at trans rights. If we don’t, we have failed to uphold human rights and dignity for everyone.

What people getting pissed at trans and other queer folks who refuse to vote for candidates who cave on trans issues seem to be ignoring is that we have continuously voted for these Democrats and we’ve still lost these all these rights we literally had to fight cops to even have in the first place.

I kind of despise Instagram, but I'm thinking about getting back on there for science outreach. Plus I've got *hundreds* of paleontological 3D prints at this point, and not enough places to show 'em off

I don’t understand the hand-wringing reaction to claims that nueral networks have a 10% chance of destroying civilisation.
Fossil fuel companies have a 100% chance of initiating a mass extinction event.
Maybe we could address that?
