Itβs an adjustment. Canβt say I was particularly well prepared. Hope youβre settling into now!

Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. βΉοΈ #AcademicChatter

remember when nancy mace (R-Hell) falsely accused an advocate for trans foster youth of assaulting her when he was just shaking her hand? prosecutors have dropped the case π
This is an excellent and really valuable overview of everything wrecked at HHS.
At the time of writing this story feels under-reported in the US press. #Democracy
Oh God. That is not what I want to hear. π
As soon as weβve trained our monster dog. We are too old for a puppy!
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named David Roberts (@volts .wtf). The post reads: "The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. Itβs not a public act, itβs not a schtick, thereβs not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people."

Millerβs meltdowns make toddlers look reasonable
Apparently there were emojis. Pretty sure a bunch of teenaged boys would be smarter than this gang of thugs.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldnβt find itβ¦so donβt RT right now this very second.
We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, Iβm proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.
If you tried to order these and they were sold out, try again. I just added more to inventory. Thanks! halfletterpress.com/say-no-to-us...
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.
These figures are wildβand itβs wild that people actually believe them.
So I did this today: banged out a couple hundred words of a pitch while managing lab, sent it to the opinion page editor at the newspaper my parents still somehow get in print, and got back a "yes" in, I absolutely kid you not, under 15 minutes
I was so happy to see it listed!
Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you.
Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans.

Congratulations! And welcome to the club.
Thank you, Iβll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
Itβs been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect π
Iβve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (Iβm waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait π«£)
