@charlesornstein @ProPublica I think you mean her son Robert
Sheril KirshenbaumIf you ever had a vaccine, injection or surgery, you’re indebted to the ancient & wondrous horseshoe crab.
Its blue blood contains Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) which clumps at contact with bacterial toxins. Animals are caught for their blood to test sterility of medical equipment & injections.
Unfortunately the harvest is unsustainable & populations are in decline. An effective synthetic substitute has been around for 2 decades & we just need the biomedical industry to switch. #SharedPlanet
@oliaoli I'm not at all biased and my nephews are the cutest
My Thanksgiving tradition is midnight baking where I burn myself in an interesting way. This year, somehow despite understanding physics I thought the trick where you put the loose bottom cake tin on a jar or something to lift it neatly would work the same with a *much taller* panettone mold. The inside of my elbow and my upper arm would like a word with my common sense if we ever find her.
Tim HolmesI hear new people noting how chill, tolerant, and pleasant Mastodon is.
Mastodon isn’t chill or tolerant or pleasant. It’s a tool… a foundation on which to create and maintain a culture.
It’s those who’ve been on Mastodon, run servers, and served as admins who did the hard work and created the culture you now enjoy.
Now, it’s your turn. The only way it stays tolerant and chill is by us doing the work to keep it that way.
A good example of, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
@Shakil hehehe. I managed to locate some dusty brandy in a corner. No way I'm going to put scotch in a panettone 🤌
Megan of the past that snobby bitch has left me with no shitty alcohol with which to bake 😒
@mehdihasan agreed this seems to cover a lot though it doesn't talk about women's rights. It's important that we acknowledge the harm of large sporting events, especially in countries where inequalities enable additional oppression. Brazil for example flattened favelas for the Olympics. China and Russia too have problems with human rights... But then so does the USA, so does Australia, just less obviously. These events concentrate the harm though, and further enrich the wealthy.
