Another person running away from twitter. I wrote as me and also as Summer Devon.
Can’t help but notice that when Twitter banned cross-linking certain social media sites it didn’t include Gab, Gettr, or Parler.

When covid hit, we didn't do the holiday decor thing and it's ok.

All those family decorations moldering upstairs makes me feel a little sad a couple of hours a year. I get asked by spouse and adult kids and why aren't we decorating?

But I'd put up and take down stuff with no help. That would equal a couple of days of annoyance and resentment.

Also xmas trees are pricy this year, or so I've heard.

I'd count this covid-induced result a win.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Franklin was born a century ago, and her X-ray crystallography work crucially contributed to determining the structure of DNA.
