IC 434, known as the Horsehead Nebula, is a dark nebula located in the Orion constellation. Its iconic horsehead silhouette is formed by dense interstellar dust that stands out against the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen illuminated by the nearby star Alnitak.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time.

No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient.

The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

Jeremy Clarkson is scapegoating badgers for bTB and has reportedly slaughtered them all on his land. This is disgusting, cruel, and ignorant.

You know what he’d really hate? If you shared this and signed the petition to end the badger cull. Let’s do it

The White House Financial Disclosure page has been WIPED. The U.S. Office of Government Ethics mandates public financial disclosures for high-level federal officials through the OGE Form 278e promoting transparency and ensuring compliance with the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

US women in 2025:

Get long acting birth control, don’t delay the divorce, make sure your finances are in order and you have cash on hand, make a “go bag”, make a list of trusted contacts, make sure your passports and IDs are up to date. What else?

One day after the White House environmental justice website went dark, please join me in welcoming the father of environmental justice to Bluesky. Yes, sociologist @drrobertbullard.bsky.social literally defined the concept in his 1990 book, Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class and Environmental Quality.

It’s so annoying listening to Trump cultists who have spent most of their career attacking autistic people suddenly act like we should be thoughtful and patient with autistic people when they’re throwing a Nazi salute. Oh so now you’re against ableism? Not to mention the use of “ass burgers”.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

The towering mountains of the Canadian Rockies emerge and, briefly, nature manifests as art. Nature's infinite artistic potential is all around us. It's not always easy to see, but when you do, it brings great joy.

So are we going to start having a conversation about what may be about to happen to resourcing for USA libraries, archives, and museums, if the federal cuts go ahead...? And which ones are obviously most likely to be targeted? and what we can do in advance of January to support? data lifeboats?

I can’t & won’t tell anyone what to do, but I’ll gently suggest if you’re already feverishly tracking everything this incoming administration does & says & every piece of lobotomized court intrigue you’ll lose your mind right about when you need it most. Go paint some model figurines or something.
