Science communication tramp. I’ve been an informal science educator and vaccine advocate long enough to know that anti-science is not partisan. People show us who they are by who they choose to represent them.
Saw a sign on a small business office that reads, “we support our troops.”
Kinda want to walk in there and ask if that means they oppose Trump and this war.
But I’d probably get shot, or my arm broken.
Rightwing baboons don’t like getting called out on their lies, hypocrisy and pretend patriotism.
Democrats ask, “who can we help?”
Republicans ask, “who can we hurt?”
The 2 parties are *not* the same.
Whataboutisms and False Equivalency fallacies are how The Right tries to obfuscate just how vile is their preferred party.
That….takes talent(?).
Can’t say I’ve ever wound up with a x+0.5 batch of biscuits.
How many times you laminate the dough?
When these Rightwing troglodytes claim they just want things to return to how they were when they (or father/grandfather) were a kid, it just means they want to be able to harass, bully and assault, with impunity, anyone who isn’t a WASP male.
Shell station with gas price of $4.99/gal
Hwy20 at Laconner-Whitney Rd; Anacortes,WA.
Only when a Republican is in the White House does The Right say “the president doesn’t affect gas prices.”
Except, this time: he absolutely did.
The only things that have gotten lower in America are available jobs, bank balances and life expectancy.
Fake book cover: How to Hold in a Fart.
Fake book cover: The Artvof Braiding Your Pubic Hair.
Of course, physical books have one advantage if what yer really wantin’ to do is just screw with people in crowded places.
Libby has been a godsend.
As I’ve gotten older, I’m finding the adjustable text of my iPad and my Kindle to be more comfortable.
Also, my Kindle fits in my back pocket. I can take it with me *then* choose what I want to read, or if I change my mind about what I feel like reading, I got choices.
#Seastars were brazenly showing off their tube feet to strangers today.

Meme using an image of a hand holding a sheep’s brain to jokingly correlate the size of Trump’s hand to the size of his brain .
#science #neurophisiology
Had a guest ask if it’s true that your brain is the size of both your fists.
Replied that there was no actual evidence for that…
…then before I could stop myself, I quipped, “although Trump does have those small hands.”
Which inspired this meme:
In mid-January, the cash price per gallon of Regular at our town’s only name brand (Shell) station was $3.69.
Yesterday, it was $4.89.
Haven’t yet been past it to see if there’s any change today.
Only conservatives could be stupid enough to elect the Republicans who have enabled, empowered, aided and abetted this gang of unfit, unqualified, idiotic sadists and psychopaths that now make up our Executive Branch.
In school, we learned that our Constitution provided checks and balances of the 3 branches.
We never wanted to believe that the Legislative and Judicial branches would willingly concede to aid, abet and protect an Executive Branch that has become a haven for sadists and psychopaths.
Love the Hitchcock film, but years ago we attended a parody performance of it at the Seattle Rep which we will never forget.
4 actors played all of the parts; in one scene doing 2 parts simultaneously.
It was a mashup of Hitchcock, of Monty Python and of Chuck Jones from Looney Toons.
And we see MAGAts cheer every time Trump and Republicans actually do what they were told was a threat from any Democrat.
These ICE agents identify with Trump because he’s a weak, fragile, insecure little man who needs to hurt others to feel powerful.
One of my favorite activity carts was this one about neuroscience and neurophysiology, using a preserved sheep’s brain.
Schoolkids would sometimes ask me, “whose brain is it?”
I’d answer,”they didn’t tell me his name; just that he wasn’t following the rules in the Butterfly House.”

Touche’ monsieur le pussy cat.
Been using an ancient X-Box for our DVDs, but gonna probably get a Blu-ray.
Sounds like your significant other wasn’t terribly embarrassed by everyone watching her.
As opposed to when my daughters found the DVD from when I was 19 (burned from a tape), playing keyboard in a New Wave band.
I swear, this is exactly what went through my mind, not 2 hours ago.
Republicans and Rightwing media mouthpieces always try to reduce the academic accomplishments of Democrats -especially if they’re not White- while ignoring the trailer trash that are prevalent in their own party.
Things for which I’m grateful:
We drive a hybrid.
Neither of us have to be at a job several days a week.
We’re too old to be drafted.
Our daughters never had children.

What page? : )
Such a great blend of romance, intrigue, espionage and comedy. Casablanca remains my favorite movie of all time.
However, now it make me a little sad to hear the refugee characters talk about America being their place of hope and safety, as we become everything they were running from.

The only fighting this guy ever did was in front of an audience, for prize money.
Only conservative voters are underevolved enough to put someone in our Senate strictly because they admired his displays violence.
More proof that The Right just wants entertainment; not a functioning government.
Our military is not engaging in war.
It can’t even honestly be called “defense.”
Our military is committing murder.
The same people who demand that their religious iconography be forced on public school children, every weekday for 12 years, call it “INDOCTRINATION!!!” when those children spend a few weeks learning about evolution.
Our Executive Branch has been turned into a haven for unfit, unqualified sadists and psychopaths by sycophantic Republicans who were elected by hopelessly indoctrinated conservatives.
