i didn't know anything about science and @samjscience.bsky.social and @okidokiboki.bsky.social didn't know anything about the Turin Shroud so we had a blast learning things learning is fun!

I don't understand why universities publish a press release for a study but don't include a link or even the title of the paper??

okay but what am i going to write about for mars news on slow weeks now that artemis has launched 😭

can't wait to spend tomorrow listening to all the tech podcasts explain the potential impacts of the meta/youtube ruling to me

i made my first youtube video in a while because i'm actually reading fiction things again, and it was fun because i also got to explain my gripe with one specific thing that keeps happening in kids books (okay it happened twice) youtu.be/_ntMqNdLg-U

figuring out how to read again with a library haul (and a lot of thoughts about kids books)

It's wild to me that I heard so much about pregnancy and postpartum hormones before I ever got pregnant, but I never heard about weaning hormones until a few months after I actually had a baby

it's only february, but finding out that the history of clinical trials can be connected to fake exorcisms is one of my favorite things i've learned this year open.spotify.com/episode/20mm...

I had a video call with @hankgreen.bsky.social that I took in the gym, and now I'm worried that anyone walking behind me would have thought I was having an animated conversation with a science youtube video

i didn't realize how much having a toddler involves sending them on meaningless quests to keep them busy, and every time I feel like a tired wizard in a fantasy book trying to keep the humans busy so they don't set the world on fire or something

I know I posted on bluesky a while ago, but I kept thinking (and yelling) in my head about it, so here's so more ranting and raving, plus my answer to people trying to find a good source of facts on the internet www.debokic.com/search-sucks...

search sucks, i know

I've spent the past year wondering when the CDC's website is going to stop being a source that I trust. We made it almost the whole year! The CDC's webpage on vaccines and autism was fine, citing stud...

my job mostly involves googling science things all day, and it's been terrible to see how much worse that's become over the last few years. but not being able to trust government websites for basic science information really takes things to a new low

Threads only exists to update me about what's going on in internet book world, and to make me regret my belief from several years ago that the world of fanfiction would be good for romance publishing actually

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.
