#ASMmicrobe popped over to twitter to say thanks to all who came to talk full length 16s on Nanopore this morning. It was a great session, looking forward to this afternoon ay MBP-651 @UCONNMAR

I grew up on an Ogallala well. We knew that it was being used up when i was a kid in the 80s because wells had to be redrilled deeper and deeper. This overuse isn't new it's just been ignored for decades.
Unchecked overuse is draining and damaging aquifers in the U.S., a New York Times data investigation found, threatening millions of people and the nation’s status as a food superpower. nyti.ms/3OWtldf
As a UNC Chapel Hill student who is currently still sheltering in place with no updates other than the sound of sirens and helicopters, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. This shouldn’t happen. We shouldn’t have to go to class in fear of our lives. We need legislative change.
Any Canadians get passports recently? I read and reread the guidelines for guarantor and understand that the occupations list doesn't apply anymore, just need a valid passport. But kid1's app was just rejected because his guarantor (his dad) doesn't have an approved occupation?
TW: sexual abuse The reason why M4L want to ban healthcare in schools is multi faceted but it boils down to this: School nurses have access to children’s medical files and are MANDATORY REPORTERS. If you reorient your lens, you realize that their every action is to
Successful vacation day with the fam. Fizzy is absolutely my tide pool buddy. I found this tiny starfish, he was very careful to be gentle as we examined it. Then put it back where we found it. He also took the "take only pictures" directive very seriously.
Did a little cultural exchange this morning with Au Pair (from South Africa). She'd seen chatter on the gram about the new fl whitewashed history requirements. So I got to explain that many Americans justify slavery because better to be a slave in the US, than left in Africa
This quote, from the @nytimes review of the OPPENHEIMER film: "He served as director of a clandestine weapons lab built in a near-desolate stretch of Los Alamos, in New Mexico"... It was inhabited by Hispanos. They were given less than 24 hr to leave. Their farms bulldozed. 1
Federal authorities opened an investigation into a Mississippi chicken plant after a 16-year-old boy died following a workplace accident there, officials said. The death put a spotlight on the rising number of child labor violations across the U.S. nyti.ms/3Q09sUM
Let these words sink in: the Texas abortion ban has led to an 11.5% increase in infant deaths over the previous year. Infant deaths had been declining since 2014 - now they are increasing. Women are dying. Infants are dying. What about that is "pro-life"?
"Some 2,200 infants died in Tx in 2022, an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic & birth defects rose by 21.6%. That spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. Between 2014-2021, infant deaths had fallen by nearly 15%."
Thanks to all who have singed up so far. We already have enough that this workshop will run. But there are still seats left.

End qualified immunity. Force police forces to pay these settlements out of their budgets, not general budgets.
Taxpayers are paying bigger and bigger settlements for police abuse during 2020 protests against police brutality. Forensic video reconstruction has made it easier to prove misconduct, and NYC will pay millions to protesters tear gassed and kettled by cops theintercept.com/2023/07/20/nyp…
Fizzy (4.5yo) is in a naturalist phase which i want to encourage. He loves playing with seek on my phone (but i don't trust him to hold onto it all day). I'm considering putting @inaturalist on an old phone and let him take pics with that while in @AcadiaNPS Other ideas?
End qualified immunity
This was Tony Timpa. At 32, he died after cops kneeled on him for 14 min & taunted that he just needed some "tutti-frutti" waffles. You may not have heard his name. But his mom's 7-year, ongoing fight for justice epitomizes how hard it is to hold police accountable. A thread.
