Yes I miss Science Twitter!

Dr Lauren M Robinson@drlmrobinson.bsky.social · 3w ago

I hate that Musk destroyed Twitter because I still think about my most dedicated followers and the friends I made from it. In a pre-LLM time, real connections were lost and if you were one of the Twitter dedicated/friends, you weren't forgotten 💜

Gaaahh I just LOVE the research I get to do for WCAG 3 as a W3C Invited Expert! The biggest hurdle for me is financial. I’m a self-employed contractor & consultant. Most of my time is finding paid work. All tips, donations, & referrals enable me to have more space for volunteer research. 🩷

I’m in a hard spot & working with limited executive function capacity. I could use help finding freelance, contract, or consulting leads. 💜 Hard to share. But here are my links too. TJ: ashleemboyer.com/tip-jar. CA: cash.app/$AshleeMFisher. PP: paypal.me/ashleemboyer. V: venmo.com/u/ashleemboyer.

We got a big bump in traffic yesterday when people learned about us on NPR. Thank you to @npr.org for covering our launch and bringing our story to people's attention! And thank you to all our new followers. We can do this together! 🌍️🧪💪 #ClimateAction #ClimateForUs #ProtectScience

For fuck's sake! Nobody's asking white people to be color blind! Y'all put that on yourselves. No one wants you not considering race, that's your issue, what you're actually doing is walking around harming from your racist imprinting. We want you to consider our race as a full part of our humanity!

Black women with disabilities or limitations: What is one thing you wish able-bodied people knew, understood, or cared about regarding disability?

BREAKING: New proposed OMB regulation, applying to all federal grants, requiring grant reviews by senior political appointees and re-emphasizes that "peer review remains advisory and does not replace agency discretion". #standupforscience public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10817.pdf

White people need to stop telling Black people how we should protest. The NCAAP should, Black athletes should, the NFL players should… We are capable of dealing with ourselves we don’t need an overseer. You need to start telling the white ppl in your orbit and YOURSELF how to protest. Look inwards.

blaming bigotry on disabilities is just bigotry with extra steps it's bullshit and I'm sick of it

White people would love to believe the worst white supremacists have brain damage & mental illness! It's only what they need to believe to maintain thinking they're so different from them, when they're not, they do white supremacy at the little league level.

Yes please don't forget y'all, it may not be in headlines, but DC is still occupied by federal forces. They're all around us patrolling. They haven't left, they've become normalized. And before you accuse us of being lazy chumps, we're resisting constantly.

Too many white ppl conflate who we are with who they *decided* we are. When they engage with Black ppl they're really mostly engaging with the caricatures in their heads.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

The Mamdani administration today announced its own click to cancel rule, to make sure that every subscription transaction in the city is as easy to end as it is to start. The FTC did this in 2023, it was challenged in court & Trump's FTC wouldn't defend it. NYC is doing it themselves.

Fuck that motherfucker

Exclusive: The acting director of the CDC has delayed publication of a report showing the covid-19 vaccine cut the likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations for healthy adults last winter by about half, according to two scientists.

The hypocrisy is astronomical: Trump slashed NASA’s budget by 23% and then took credit when astronauts made history. Artemis II does not belong to politicians dismantling American space science. Join the fight for science: standupforscience.net zurl.co/JHmEp

i honestly can't stand seeing people say Gen AI is a disability aid because if it was a disability aid, they wouldn't be putting this much money into it
