Well things have gotten much much much much stupider
I am eternally grateful for cbc. Unfortunately I think that a lot of Americaβs issues are β¦ what you are seeing in comments.
I say insult away - he and we deserve it.
This.
Iβm so glad! I stood outside watching them play lamb races tonight. They are so silly at this age.
We do! We just shearer and have some lovely black wool. Just dm me.
The face of a black ewe with a lamb on each side, one black and one multi colored.
News continues to be terrible so here are our latest lambs. A black fleeced ram and a multi colored ewe. This was taken minutes after their birth. We are proud to raise Gulf Coast Natives, a critically endangered sheep breed.
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."
College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.
The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

If my mom had worked I think we would have been more comfortable, but they made choicesβ¦
We were one of the only families I knew who lived on 1 salary. We were poor. My dad had a good job (PhD and at Johnβs Hopkins apl), and we ran a farm that fed us. In the summer we worked all day to grow and preserve food. It wasnβt idyllic. $ was tight, and I rarely had new anything.
Hoping you get a bit of rest soon!
Oh! I missed the baby news! Huge congratulations!
ββ¦about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.
ChatGPT had deemed it βD.E.I.β Mr. Fox said he agreed. βBecause it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,β he said.β
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
I really find his entire demeanor typical of a bro that knows nothing, but has been entitled by a set of conditions to believe that he is the big decision maker. It is my hope that polite society black lists all these aholes, but they will probably fail up.
I love that @modernlanguage.bsky.social has posted the depositions of the DOGE bros who gutted the National Endowment for the Humanities. All part of the lawsuit the MLA, AHA, and ACLS have filed against the federal government.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
A picture of all-time badass Stagecoach Mary Fields, holding her rifle.
Happy International Women's Day!
Remember, when in doubt, do as Stagecoach Mary Fields did, and either headbutt, shoot it, set it on fire, or let your horses trample it.
"She broke more noses than any other person in central Montana."
I love our high school mariachi bands. This is absolutely unconscionable.
I justβ¦ what am I supposed to say to people who ended up with grants under this system? I mean shouldnβt they at the least admit on their cvs that this is bs?
A spotted lamb with a green ear tag.
A white ewe lamb with a black spot on its side.
A white faced ram with large horns.
A black ewe with a black ram lamb and a speckled ewe lamb.
More lambs! Another two sets of twins including a pitch black ram lamb. Also featuring an appearance by dad, who doesnβt seem that impressed that he now has 13 offspring at the ripe old age of 9 months!
Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.
π§΅Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
The world health organization has found that the US and Israel have bombed several health facilities in Iran.
We have also bombed two ADDITIONAL schools this week, not counting the girls schools earlier. Making that 4 in total.
We are the bad guys in this illegal war.

NEW βWeβre celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You canβt keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, itβs ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.β
Celebration cacti!
