❤️🦍 Happy 7th birthday, Moke! On this day in 2018, his #GorillaStory began. Today, he's all swagger with a good dose of goofiness! We love reliving this magical moment between Moke and his mom, Calaya, the day he was born. Now, he's a great big brother to his 1-year-old sister, Zahra! 🥰 @NationalZoo

Many states have abolished life without parole sentences for children, but not North Carolina. In 2021, then-Governor Roy Cooper set up a new board to review clemency applications, and issued a dozen commutations before leaving office. boltsmag.org/north-carolina-ju…


Beekeeping glove repair. My son's cheap Bezos Expo (Chinese import) beekeeping gloves lasted only one season, but he likes them. Big rip in the palm at the seam. Turns out this restored Singer 201 easily goes through tough dried leather and I was able to fix this one. #beekeeping #sewing
in reply to AI6YR Ben

fix it culture is rad. I’m so absolutely horrible at fixing anything. I really need to learn. Anyway, great work.

Also, you keep bees?

in reply to Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

@markwyner Yep! One of (too many) hobbies. It's very rewarding to be able to fix things (IMHO). Though the amount of stuff that could be fixed is always bigger than the time to fix it. (including stuff you see on the side of the road, ha ha).

How many need to claim something causes autism or a chronic disease for #MAHA to think it's worth looking into? How big and how long does the study need to be? Why should someone or some group be trusted with making that call or doing the research?

AFAIK there are no perfect answers to any of these questions. There never have been. There have always been dissident voices. The only difference now is the power of the internet to multiply these dissident opinions into political pressure. #science
