I am so amped up about SAG-AFTRA joining the WGA in fighting the comic-book-villain levels of malevolence coming out of the studios and streamers! BURN IT DOWN LET’S GOOOOO #WGAstrike #SAGAFTRAstrike #UnionStrong #eattherich
I am so very over this SCOTUS. Ugh.

As much as I loved Andor and my #StarWars tv series, I can wait until the #WGA strike is satisfactorily over #strike #WGAStrike #WGAStrong
Showrunner Tony Gilroy Ceases Producing Services on ‘Andor’
#Unions are SO IMPORTANT. Here’s to a successful #WGA strike and a fair contract that recognizes and compensates all of the crucial creative work that writers do to make the things we love!! #UnionStrong
Picard ep 10
Also the closing bit with them being so happy….I think there might be something in my eye….
Picard ep 10
Kinder, gentler Worf is my absolute favourite. I LOLed at him falling asleep on the E-D bridge. ❤️ #picard
@microbeMinded glad to find you over here since I have deleted Twitter! Happy belated birthday! Hope you and Mel and your kiddos are doing well. I’m reading “I Contain Multitudes” by Ed Yong and what should I see in the notes but a PNAS paper about zebra fish that you co-authored! I love actually knowing a science rock star.
Picard s3 eps 3-4
Finally catching up with #Picard. Never did I think I’d hear an F-bomb from Captain—er, Admiral Jean-Luc. (Loving the writing in this series. I mean, Worf offering chamomile? An LOL moment.)
Happy Π Day, nerds!

#2749 Lymphocytes
It's very hard to detect, but recent studies have determined that when plasma B cells are producing antibodies, they go 'pew pew pew'

#2747 Presents for Biologists
A lot of these are actually non-venomous, but I can see which species you mistook them for. If you pause the crane for a sec I can give you some ID pointers for next time!

So very shiny.
So very complicated.

Please repost/like if you are someone in 2023 and still actively thinking about health risks related to airborne viruses in social places. I'd like to feel less lonely while still knowing that the pandemic is not over #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver

I promise you, this is not a weird little rubber desert island toy for smurfs, complete with coconut trees.
It's a liverwort which I just found growing between some paving stones behind our house. It must be...2cm (3/4") high?
Note to self: DO NOT write “that’s what she said” on a student’s exam paper.
Ooof, not cool, Netflix. Not. Cool.
