I could have known you would come back to me with something like this! π

@freemo @realcaseyrollins It's very unlikely he will be fired, it's mostly posturing by the Rs as far as I can tell. The lies mentioned are about him dismissing masks as ineffective early on, which he did publicly and already has been criticized for - but I guess an "email leak" confirming what everybody already knew is reason enough to stir some shit.
@freemo I havenβt been keeping up with politics as closely as usual this summer but I heard #AnthonyFauci is set to get the boot soon after a bunch of FOIA-released emails showed that he lied about the #coronavirus, especially in the early stages of its outbreak
I have Thoughts and I'm trying to put them into words, and I'm not sure I'm succeeding so I don't want to post them in public. They boil down to this:
You are not obliged to do the work of educating people on trans issues. It's fine if you don't. But there are people who do get paid to educate people on trans issues, or who will do it for free voluntarily. While you don't have to educate people, you can at least do them (and society) the favor of directing them to the people who are voluntarily doing the education, free or paid.
And if you refuse to even do that favor, don't expect the people you're interacting with to improve.
As a researcher, what are some things that you find annoying when searching the scientific literature? What could be improved?
@freemo Interesting bit of trivia: Jerry Casale of DEVO was standing just feet from one of the women who was shot and killed at the Kent State Massacre. Joan Jett, before her music career, was also at the protest.
>Devoβs Jerry Casale Looks Back at Kent State 50 Years Later: βTime Stood Stillβ
Today is the anniversary of the Kent State shootings, or more appropriately the "May 4th Massacre". In the wake of recent events and our consideration of gun control laws I think this day deserves a great deal of reflection. Four Americans were murdered, and nine more wounded, by our own national guard simply for participating in an anti-war demonstration. If we want to consider limiting access to guns on american soil lets start with our own national guard and police, not our citizens. The last thing I want to see is an unarmed populace needing to deal with a well-armed police and military force. Lets focus on securing the rights of the citizen, not giving them up
