It took me entirely too long to realize that was a banana. I’m going to go drown myself in my shame now.

We aren’t. Empathy sets us apart.

You’ll need to write a guide.

No one prepared me for the stage of adulting in which you get a feeling of accomplishment from being slightly less behind than you were when you started the day, nor was I prepared for how rare that feeling would be.

Where do I mark myself safe for surviving Costco on the first of the month after the tariffs started, which also happens to be a Saturday?

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were ordered to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “L.G.B.T.” or “pregnant people.”

It’s been a long first six months of this new President…::checks notes:: Wait, it’s only been a week? This is some sort of temporal anomaly bullshit.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
