Accordion to a recent study 7 out of 10 people don't notice when a word in a sentence is replaced with a musical instrument.

Recognition of trans people has driven at least 2 billionaires insane (Musk and Rowling) and now will drive the UK to destroy itself and push Scotland to seek to leave. I really don't understand this level of brain worms or hatred.

Just landed in Albuquerque and this guy was staring at me the entire flight and thought he was gonna murder me until I realized his sunglasses were on the back of his head.

Thank you Dr. King for inspiring many generations of young activists. On this #MLKDay, I encourage us all to listen to the Black community, uplift their voices, celebrate their achievements, and lend support in the ongoing fight for racial justice and equality.

"I'm no longer participating on Twitter (except for this tweet, daily). I don't want to lend any support to a sociopath who represents a growing threat to freedom of expression.

"You'll find me in the fediverse, where conversations are mostly civil.

Now that could be a slippery slope. πŸ™‚

(did I just say that?)

"What about Biden's documents" is the new "what about her emails."

Same story. Same playbook.

@georgetakei Well last time I think it resulted into marching into Poland. But maybe I am too pessimistic.

"A recognition that America is a nation with generations of institutional, systematic oppression of non-white racial minorities and that we should do something to address it" happens to be nearly the exact words used by Ron DeSantis' attorneys when asked in court to define this "woke" thing he and they believe needs to be outlawed and forbidden from being discussed in education and in public.

They'd have labeled Dr. King as a "woke" enemy to far-right Republicanism.

This weekend the birth of Dr. King is rightfully celebrated as many (even if only superficially) reflect on his legacy.

Still, I can’t help but also think of the lesser known, but incredibly impressive, leaders of the black liberation struggle of the 1960s.

One woman in particular...

Fannie Lou Hamer – best known for her famous line β€œI’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” – doesn’t get the attention of MLK.

But, I promise you if he were still alive today, Dr. King would remind us to never forget that woman and the example she embodied …

#introduction
Hi everyone,
I am Nila. I am a neuroscientist & currently a Postdoc in Rainer Friedrich's lab at FMI. I study the circuit of the olfactory bulb in the adult zebrafish using a connectomic approach. Recently I have been a bit sidetracked by telencephalic temptations...

I am here to keep up to date and exchange with the scientific community. But I love to have my mind blown by anything nature. So, I am hoping to learn many fun facts outside of my horizons (& to see many beautiful images as well).
I am a first-gen academic which has sometimes been a struggle (mostly in my mind). Topics of open access, social mobility & justice are important to me, and I do have to learn a lot there.
Parenting 3 little humans doesn't leave much energy for hobbies but running is my lifeline.

me: kids, I remember when soap came in a bar

soap: *from living room* it was ONE TIME, and I was in a very bad place

As we celebrate and reflect on the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., let us all recommit to building a better, fairer, more equitable world.
