Just want to re-up some fundraisers including our own.
Wellington Pride is being sued by some trans-exclusionary Lesbians.
This case is very important because the anti-trans group is hoping for a legal precedent.
Give here:

I'm happy that the paper about my class on Historically Excluded and Underrepresented Scientists is now published. When I get back from Alaska, I will put the syllabus and other materials on my website and link to that here on Bluesky. In the meantime, enjoy! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“For example, the dwarfs found out how to turn lead into gold by doing it the hard way. The difference between that and the easy way is that the hard way works.” - Terry Pratchett, The Truth turns out “the hard way is the one that works” applies to a whole lot of things

My friends, the story of Donald J Trump and his weird decades-long obsession with sharks is stranger than you know. I, your friendly neighborhood shark scientist and science journalist, made an annotated timeline.

Hey Tāmaki folks, apparently the current govt is cutting funding to the City Mission to the point that they're going to have to halve the current amount of food they offer, at a time when demand is skyrocketing. Send them some cash if you can www.aucklandcitymission.org.nz/donate/

All drugs have two names, the generic and the brand, like paracetamol and Panadol. Whenever there's a "grass roots" campaign for drug funding, it's always for a brand, Keytruda not pembrolizumab. This is the difference between saying the govt should fund vacuums and saying they should fund Dysons

As @jonathanstea.bsky.social points out here, a strong predictor of trolling is the tendency to derive pleasure or enjoyment from being cruel or demeaning to others. By blocking, it deprives them of that pleasure.

Am in Brisbane and there was an anti-trans rally this afternoon in the park outside my hotel. There were only about 10 “adult human females” but plenty more people attending the peaceful pro-trans counter-rally at the opposite end of the park.

If you’re sad, I suggest heading to pepperraccoon.com and ordering yourself some stupid stickers. When they arrive, put them on things you use everyday. Boom. Goofy vibes.

Here's our doco investigating CCP influence and interference operations in New Zealand. There are options for Chinese and English subtitles if you click on the little box second from right at the bottom of the screen. Also.. set aside some time. It's a feature length documentary, 80 minutes
