Ursula K Le Guin, "In Berkeley" (1999)
This is the city of my birth
This is my own uneasy earth.
Following Time's devious laws,
I pass the stranger that I was.
In the sea-reflected light
that makes the shadows of things bright.
I walk a half-remembered street
and am the stranger that I meet.
this is the most immoral person I know from my high school debate days. Edward Heartney from Des Moines Dowling now doing Rump's bidding like a hateful fool www.hcn.org/articles/pro...
enjoyed talking to Shady Grove Oliver of AfroLA about Octavia E Butler

The NSF abruptly terminated their grant for a journal focused on advancing gender equity in academic STEM—jeopardizing decades of progress for women in science.
what an abuse of the word care. Shameful
Really depressing to see former high school debate friend Ed Heartney go down this dark path
May all of your high school friends turn out better than Ed Heartney did
Knew Heartney from high school debate (Des Moines Dowling). What a sad shameful late turn in his career.
This is indeed brilliant
Beauty of what makes Syd great rebounder is her plan of attack cannot be scouted. On offensive glass, she developed a feel for how certain teammates' missed shots typically bounce off rim. On defensive glass, it’s mostly about hustle, desire, full-body strength. www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports...

Russell Vought is the architect of Project 2025, the force cutting NIH funding. But it's thanks to NIH-funded research that Vought’s daughter had access to some treatments.
“We’re extremely grateful to live in a nation that leads the way on medical innovation,” Vought's then-wife wrote in 2021.
My favorite quote after the Iowa women beat Nebraska was Lucy Olsen saying the entire team was extra motivated to get the ball to McCabe [who is from NE, had 60 people there), see her score, win that way:
“It was like, ‘We are going to win for you. You are from here, we cannot let them beat you.’
that's more of the victim talk--implication is they the poor fox viewers were victims being left out of America when it was officially anti-racist and not officially woman-hating. also they now want us to unite with them while ignoring them fomenting racism misogyny and hate
UCSD public health scientist Rebecca Fielding-Miller called the list Orwellian: “I guess a word that's not on here is "men," and I guess a word that I don't see on here is "white," so I guess we'll see what's going on with white men and what they need." www.kpbs.org/news/economy...
because him showing anti trans ads constantly during football games seems to have helped his cause
Beautiful team effort in @iowawbb upset of USC! @lucy3olsen was HEROIC! 28 PTS 10-18, 8-9 from line, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals! Don't overlook @hannahstuelke's BIG defense against way bigger USC bigs: 10 points, 5 rebounds, an assist, and steal in 20 minutes. Congratulations @janjensen13
This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
2. "For it is important that awake people be awake,
or a breaking line may discourage them back to sleep;
the signals we give — yes or no, or maybe —
should be clear: the darkness around us is deep.”

“I call it cruel and maybe the root of all cruelty
to know what occurs but not recognize the fact
And so I appeal to a voice, to something shadowy,
a remote important region in all who talk:
though we could fool each other, we should consider—
lest the parade of our mutual life get lost in the dark
when you don't have standards for president vice president and cabinet positions any drunken white frat boy sexual assaulter will fill those positions because of the good ole boy network giving people things they manifestly do not deserve
Large-scale ICE raids in cities including Chicago, Atlanta and Miami arrested almost 1,000 people. More in the latest Keeping Score:
maybe the most unfit cabinet appointee ever and that is saying a lot with this admin
