Dogs, bikes, beer, tattoos, and sometimes academic libraries. (Not in that order.) Silly goose on the loose and proud union member. I put the “assy” in sassy. No TERFS! Always Carry A Book

I hope they lose spectacularly and have to pay out a lot of money. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company. Yeet Grammarly directly into the sun!

Grammarly Is Pulling Down Its Explosively Controversial Feature That Impersonates Writers Without Their Permission Shishir Mehrotra, CEO of Grammarly's owner Superhuman, has announced that the company is "disabling" a feature that impersonated journalists.

superhuman will be at SXSW and if youre also there you can stop by their suite at antone's and tell them they're bad people and that they should feel bad.

Valerie, there will be NO FUN in the library! NONE! Don't even think about having fun!

This doesn't make any sense. Why not allow game playing? This seems like an arbitrary and fun-killing rule. BLERGH.

Awake and feeling owly and the neighborhood coyotes are really yipping it up! I’ve never heard them this active or this close by!

Venn diagram of people who are closely following what’s going on and people who are healthy and taking care of themselves is vanishingly small, but let’s get some good sleep and try and make it bigger

goodnight to everyone trying to stay human

Today’s #SmallGoodThing: Gracie is healed enough to go get groomed! The groomer left her eyebrows, her little mohawk, and some of her ear feathers. She just might have to come to campus with me tomorrow!

The library is packed today! It makes me so happy to walk around and see all the different ways that people are using the space. Studying, writing, sleeping, catching up with friends, making something in the makery, or heating up lunch in the student "break room."

It is completely insane that they are putting people's names into their paid product as "experts" without their knowledge. And Grammarly's response is to say people can OPT OUT?? There's not even a definitive list to see if you're on it.

Tonight’s #SmallGoodThing: listening to the neighborhood kids play hide and seek outside our place. My office window is open and I can hear all their whispering and running around. The cutest! 🥹💜💚

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.

Tonight’s #SmallGoodThing is enjoying 1/2 a bottle of 2026 Bigfoot from Sierra Nevada. This is one of my favorite beers for a reason. So dang delicious!

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

I’m beginning to think that you’re just riding up and down that bike path hoping to run into Tommaso!

I noticed them ramping up! Today’s are particularly strong. I was considering going for a longer ride, but cut it around 30 because I didn’t want to struggle the whole dang time. The gusts are not to be trifled with!

Thanks! It's the Supacaz Prismatik in "oil slick." I am totally in love with it.

Temperature swing of 40 degrees on my ride this morning with a low of 42 and a high of 83. No wonder my sinuses are running!

Today’s #SmallGoodThing: I went to a friend’s 40th birthday party this afternoon. This person has had some hard news recently so it was wonderful to see folks there to celebrate her and share some joy. Hug your loved ones, all!

if you gave amtrak 5% of the military budget every year it would have received more money in two years than it has in its entire existence up to that point

I've got to be honest, my friends, I have to work this morning but it is hard to understand how to go about normal life when my home country is rampaging out of control like a drunken abuser

Yep. Cannot do it.
