Today my team @ProPublica released a news app that will allow you to look up any university, museum or other institution that receives federal money and has the remains of Native American people that they have yet to repatriate.

Here's my alma mater, the University of Florida, clocking in just under the top 10.

You can look up your own here: https://projects.propublica.org/repatriation-nagpra-database/

Does Your Local Museum or University Still Have Native American Remains? — NAGPRA Database

Use this database to find out where Native American remains were taken from and which institutions report still having them. Check on institutions near you.

Hey does anyone know anything about buprenorphine?

GP is offering a short term course for this hell pain flare. But fucked if I know anything about it. Not keen on taking it before I know if the patient community has had any major issues with it.

Any help appreciated! 🧡

Protesters storm McGill University talk on sex vs. gender, shutting it down

Trans rights advocates stormed into a talk Tuesday at McGill University led by a speaker associated with a group they say is "notoriously transphobic and trans-exclusionary."

it's always so funny to us when words like "amine" occur to us before words like "anime"

@j12i @imagecaptionspls A gap in the trees, with wide standing stones in their shade at the edge of it. A sheep explores a tree stump that stands in the open grassy space.

@j12i @imagecaptionspls A gravestone stands in a clearing, well-lit against the dark of the trees behind it. The ground is grassy with dry leaves. A white sheep walks through the field, in front of and to one side of the stone; a black sheep nears the camera, and is partly cut off from view.
