"But my experience tells me that these laws are really about something else: a step along the path to a rigid enforcement of gender norms, roles and presentation. It is about the routine humiliation and degradation of people who look or behave in ways a fanatical minority wants to punish. They will not stop until anyone who fails to meet their rigid definitions of identity forfeits their right to feel at ease." -- Lydia Polgreen

Biochemist Marie Maynard Daly, who studied correlations between heart attacks and cholesterol, and between smoking and lung disease, was born #OTD in 1921. Daly was also part of the team that established the primary nucleic acid bases.

She was the first Black woman to receive a chemistry PhD in the US.

The Texas MAGA federal judge banned Mifepristone because “FDA didn’t properly review its health risks” which is reportedly ~14 annual deaths.

Well, guess what, Viagra has ~200 annual reported deaths.

So…when do MAGAs ban Viagra??🤔

Oh right, never, because MAGA only cares about controlling women. They don't care that Mifepristone is incredibly safe for women, and even safer than childbirth. They only care about advancing their agenda to control women. Vote these MAGA Extremists out permanently

I asked: Computer keyboards have little bumps or ridges on the F and J keys, as a key for touch typing, did you know these existed?

An adult with a PhD, said they didn’t know keyboard bumps existed.

I believed this to be established knowledge.
