    The first best part of my apartment’s location on 16th and Q is being able to walk to and support protests everyday. The second best part is, even when I come home for dinner, I can watch ones like this while i eat. No Justice, No Peace

    Check out our new publication on the response, since March, from the open-source hardware community to PPE shortages/supply chain challenges. Co-authoring this was a privilege-- considering the proven potential these practices have for emergency response!

    While it's true that the more infections there are the more opportunities for genetic mutations to arise, we CANNOT assign geographic blame for the variants that have been found because there are EXTREME discrepancies in the amounts of sequencing countries are doing.

    There's no better way to communicate the dogma, "No one is safe until everyone is safe," than the rise + spread of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Aggressive global distribution of vaccines, funding COVAX, and reversing vax nationalism is a way out of this Mobius strip of a pandemic.

    This is *not* what evolutionary biologists say (at least not those who know about viruses) and I won’t get into virulence here, other than to say you should mistrust anyone with a neat evolutionary story explaining virulence

    Replying to @BillHanage
    The evolutionary biologists would say the new variant actually derives from the lack of sufficient measures? That will tend to drive a virus towards greater virulence too.

    There are definitely bigger fish to fry right now. And I have no answers nor a Twitter presence worthy of this level of commentary. Buuuuuut seeing as Twitter is now a key part of people's professional lives and we are all very online-- I wanted to pop this into the discourse.

    It just seems tricky to tell people to and reward people for being authentic on Twitter when authenticity only feels safe for those with "uncontroversial" interests dictated by those who hold power in their fields-- usually white and straight men.

    fueled by the internalized stigmas they know many people hold from growing up in an overtly or quietly homophobic world (depending on upbringing). I know my interests are quite unremarkable for a white cis queer man. But I also know they are controversial to so many others.
