I'm feeling fortunate that all my teaching experience came ahead of the onslaught of AI slop from students.

If I ever teach again, which I'd like to (if you want to have an activist on adjunct faculty at your fancy institution lmk!), I will go full analog.

Paper, pencil, Socratic method or bust.

Yesterday felt like Friday to me. I'm in The Bad Place lol

An excellent one!

I love the Toxicity album. It's one of very few albums that I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a single song.

Alexa play “BYOB” by System of a Down.

There is still good in this world.

This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.

And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.

Maybe it’ll happen tomorrow

Had to write a speech for a “family friendly” protest this weekend…feel this pain deeply.

Trump's assholery has killed a wonderful advanced X-ray astronomical mission that has been in development for almost a decade.

Pittsburgh rally aims to stand up for science at Allegheny Landing Park This is the second year the rally is held in Pittsburgh

Hi @repstansbury.bsky.social! Could you start by co-sponsoring @rephaleystevens.bsky.social’s articles of impeachment for RFK jr?

RFK Jr.’s HHS proposes scrapping protections for LGBTQ+ kids in foster care The policy change was announced in a notice of proposed rulemaking.

Do you know how wicked a person has to be to *punch down* on CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE?????

Get this man out of office, NOW.

Meat and Dairy Industries Spent Big Money Lobbying Ahead of Trump Dietary Guideline Changes The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize red meat and dairy.

NEW: In January the Trump administration released new dietary guidelines that prompted the consumption of red meat and full-fat dairy products.

Federal lobbying disclosures reveal that the meat and dairy industries spent big money lobbying USDA and HHS, which were responsible for the guidelines.

I think a lot about this line from Ta-Nehisi Coates:

“The burden of whiteness is this: You can live in the world of myth and be taken seriously. You can effectively believe the kind of isht which I was disabused of and edit the in-flight magazine of Air Force One. Fuck editing it. You can own it.”

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

This administration is all vibes and lies and no evidence…and we get to suffer the consequences while the mediocre oligarch gets rich.

Can’t say I’m pleased about it 🙄

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

I'm just an activist, screaming into the void that science shouldn't be used as a weapon against any citizenry.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

This happens because a surprising amount of the social work of foster care is contracted through faith based agencies. Some of which even require foster parent to sign statements of faith! Evangelical agencies want to either refuse to take, or refuse to support LGBTQ+ youth. #fostercare

*ANY ARCHEOLOGISTS AROUND?*
Is this an ancient shark tooth? My friend found it and we need ANSWERS!

There is no public health justification for this.

Like so many actions the Trump administration has taken in just about every area of policymaking... cruelty is the point.

Yeah, I don't want to hear any of this from @housedemocrats.bsky.social until you get RFK Jr. out of HHS. The word "woman" and "women" is a "banned word".
