I'm excited that this thread gives me the opportunity to follow a prompt from yesterday to "post a tweet you still think about" with something I took as advice from you years ago!

We in the legal profession really need to have a moment of introspection about how our commitment to "civility" above all else didn't just enable everything we're seeing now, it helped *cause* it.

Some arguments should not be met with civility. Sometimes civility only serves oppression.

The Trump Administration’s War on Disability Executive actions, budget cuts, layoffs, and legislation—all enacted in the Trump administration’s first six months—have curtailed disability rights and services, including access to Medicaid and the ...

“In the first six months of his second term, the Trump administration has waged what appears to be an all-out war against disabled people.”

It makes no sense to frame this as some sort of correction — adequate nutrition is more important for kids with health conditions, not less.

Still feeling inspired from an amazing trip to Morocco for the @isa-sociology.org Forum in Rabat! This was my first ISA meeting and I loved connecting with old friends and meeting new colleagues in the global sociology community.

The Perseids are back – and every color tells us what they're made of! Every summer, Earth drifts through the dusty trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle – and the result is one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year: the Perseids. Peaking in mid-August and active right now, this shower can produce up to 75 meteors per hour under dark skies. But here’s what makes them even more amazing: each meteor’s color reveals what it’s made of. As the meteors blaze through Earth’s atmosphere at over 130,000 mph, they burn up in brilliant flashes of different colors – and those colors reveal what elements are inside: 🔴 Red = Oxygen & Nitrogen 🟡 Yellow-Gold = Iron 🟣 Violet = Calcium 🟠 Orange = Sodium 🔵 Teal/Blue-Green = Magnesium The Perseids are active from July 17 to August 24, with peak nights around August 12–13. Even with some moonlight, it’s still one of the best times to look up. Find a dark sky, let your eyes adjust, and enjoy one of the best sights of the year!
