It has been 0 days since I got an email about potentially losing my job.

A screen cap of my email reads: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to the Graduate School at the University of South Dakota. Please refer to the attached acceptance letter for further details of your acceptance. Sincerely, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA

Good now I can quit holding my breath. #socialwork #socialjustice #highereducation #socialworker

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where a trade war with our allies could happen. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

MAGA is big mad that Mitch McConnell told the truth for once and said that Donald Trump's tariffs "will be paid for by American consumers."

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Yes. I don't know how many emails I can take. I already took steps to remove my pronouns from my record.

Never knowing when I'm going to get another email about my work dismantling DEI is kind of keeping me on edge.

Bluesky is just witness protection from X.

I am shamelessly hooked on DramaBox watching Return of His Majesty and its pretty darn good.

Awe, poor guy

Women in the military worry about Hegseth's views on women in combat Women have served in combat roles for the U.S. for more than 30 years, and some veterans and enlisted women worry Pete Hegseth might change that if he's confirmed as defense secretary.

"We need moms, but not in the military"

What.

Post: In the last couple of weeks RFK has been seen on camera popping zyn nicotine pouches, eating McDonald’s, deep frying a turkey in tallow, and discussing 15 years of heroin use. This is the guy promising to “make America healthy”?

RFK Jr. is a fraud. Always has been.

The funny thing about covid, and now I can say the covid vaccine, is that the symptoms are different every time. I just came through chills so bad I barely could take medicine to calm the quaking. I've never been that sick, and it came on violently and quickly almost exactly 11 hours after my shot.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.
