Everyone at the possibly real company of Acrisure is like “we couldn’t even get rid of a bottle of ketchup, but good luck, buddy”

Nice interview with Sen. John Fetterman. Glad to know he’s continuing to focus on the needs of Pennsylvanians. penncapital-star.com/uncategorized/…

@AmeshAA Come on. These secondary patents are created primarily to maximize profits. Is it not more important to get treatment to as many people as possible? The initial investment has been recouped.

"I am chagrined at the monopoly J&J continues to seek to assert over this public good." — it is not a public good, it is private intellectual property cidrap.umn.edu/antimicrobial-…

Smile. No particular reason why. Just because it feels great. Goodn night moon.

1/ This is the story on how I almost didn't become Raven the Science Maven because a Chief Marketing Officer of a huge science ed company asked me to mask my Blackness. When I was first getting started in science communication, the company reached out to me for a partnership...

I HAVE RETURNED TO MAIN because I am FURIOUS that @JNJGlobalHealth is preventing millions from accessing life-saving treatment with bedaquiline, thereby costing innumerable lives and increasing the global risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5…

Tell @JNJNews their attempts to evergreen the patent on the life-saving tuberculosis drug bedaquiline is unjust and a violation of their corporate credo: secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/e… And then tell the world that Johnson & Johnson is denying MILLIONS access to life-saving TB treatment.

Having random loud bangs near my house is awful. I am trying to be curious about the wish to explode nothing. That’s not going well.

Happy would-be 115th b-day to Pittsburgh icon Charles "Teenie" Harris. We often only associate him with his photographic chronicles of Black life in Pittsburgh from his prolific 1930s-70s, but he lived until 1998. Here's him in his 80s. His camera is on view at @HistoryCenter

Not everyone oohs over fireworks. If fireworks make your furry friends skittish, there are several products to help soothe your pet’s anxiety. Cynthia is trying out the Happy Hoodie this year, which her cats are happily modeling/barely tolerating. Have a happy and safe Fourth!

Reminder of how freedom of religion actually works in America, regardless of what this illegitimate garbage court of christofascists says:

@SocialKimLy If you ever have one to spare, 🙋‍♀️

Lol.. 😂

And I've been in Harrisburg every week since Feb. 20 engaged in budget hearings and committee meetings, despite exhaustion and illness, because the people's work matters and I'm here to get the job done, not put up stupid memes.

This is a strange assertion from my colleagues across the aisle because we sent a budget to the Senate on June 5 that included not only the whole of @GovernorShapiro budget but also increasing historic investment in education and human services programs.

It’s bananas how people really think colleges and universities were regularly admitting unqualified Black people on the basis of their race. People really think that’s what was happening so congrats to racist disinformation media outlets I guess.

@hellohahanarf @allthingsnoisy Plantnet app suggests it’s a mullein, native elsewhere, kinda invasive in Americas, used in dyes and as torches! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbascum…

@allthingsnoisy I think I like em.

Dear Twitter, What the fuck is in my yard? The flowering one is boob height, the other one is maybe hip height. I'm infatuated! Thanks for any garden / weed info. XO

The reporting team that won this award is entirely made up of people who are on strike or who have left the paper. You would think the @PittsburghPG would want to retain talent like this.
