I removed all links to Twitter/X from my Linktree and from my sideblog, SCIENCE70. While I will continue to support general jackassery and mild buffoonicality, I will not support tech-bro douchebaggery, racist asininity and fascist bootlickery. That is all.

I also made myself a Linktree thing because I am HIP to CURRENT THINGS and STUFF.*
