I hear enough men using it whose own moms would be more like 60 than 40 that I think the root is "woman I don't want to fuck having opinions about things" rather than mom-specific reasons.

After rats arrived on Lord Howe Island, the island's iconic stick insect was quickly driven to extinction...or was it? I visited the San Diego Zoo to learn about the international effort to bring "tree lobsters" back from the brink 🦞My feature in the NYT! www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/s...

How the Tree Lobster Escaped Extinctionwww.nytimes.com The Lord Howe Island stick insect vanished from its home, but an effort at zoos in San Diego and Melbourne highlights the possibilities and challenges of conserving invertebrate animals.

Scientific grudges expressed through scathing jabs in research literature should be called lab-grown beef.

Exactly! It all sounds too much like a pressure campaign, with the message "You are losing your audience because you use gender-inclusive terms". And yes, I suspect it involves people completely uninterested in the subject searching deliberately for the thing they want to (publicly) complain about.

are these people searching for the word diversity on twitter all day to keep at their bs?? Even NASA can’t escape them

Oregon astronomy is super small but just got a lot more exciting! Can’t wait to have Sanjana up the road! 🤩🦆🦫

if you noticed I’ve been awfully quiet lately it’s because I’ve been awfully busy!! After a decade of work and an exciting+challenging academic journey, I am going to be a professor! Next year I will join Oregon State University as an assistant professor of physics!!!⭐️🦫
