How’d they take it? Curious.

Confirmation she was the worst.

Chapters deleted, sections added: Florida's new sociology textbook is 'stop-gap,' says professor The controversial new Introduction to Sociology textbook, created by the state of Florida to meet its new academic restrictions, is missing entire chapters like Race and Ethnicity, Global Inequality a...

“The new textbook — edited by staff of the Board of Governors alongside a work group of sociologists — was created in large part by deleting sections of the former textbook…The resulting state-created book is less than half the length of the original text.”

There is nothing I like more than finding an error in a book I’m reading. It is a reminder that we’re all human, that nothing in this plane of existence is perfect.

It is equally shocking and yet wholly expected to see this kind of talk.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You need to only have a whisper of strength to arm me to buy thin mints.

Always loved finding those kinds of treasures at The Strand. A signed copy of bell hooks? Yup. A signed copy of Whit Stillman's novelization of The Last Days of Disco? Snatched it up.

Some folks in the Yard Goats Facebook comments are upset about them posting a message of unity.

Thank you for this post. Please be on the lookout for a response post in 2-3 weeks.

Look, if we're talking about what gets views and clicks, we can certainly talk about it. I am certainly doing my part to help share and bring out and share positive stories. The local ecosystem, is one wherein someone like me writes "great news for our schools" and I get name called by my own SC rep

What specifically would you want her to be doing to be out in the public? Here she is on WHMP whmp.com/podcasts/tal... last month and on 22 News on 1/15/26: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqvb..., talking about these issues.

‘The state has moved from telling us what we cannot teach to telling us exactly what we can…giving our students a really impoverished version of the discipline,’ Katie Rainwater

I just look at that article's click-bait framing and it's all I need to know about whether I'd want to comment as mayor. Why not: "In a microcosm of why the left constantly loses: a small but loud group of Northamptonites villainize a very progressive mayor, as literal nazis run our federal govt."

IMO, good for her. Social media has been nasty. She’s doing her job. Hopefully the ouroboros left will work itself out, realize there are literal Nazis out there. Everyone would be better off listening to Loretta Ross.

I went to go look for Census data this morning and.... y'all. #econsky

Honestly, I agree. ~90% roster problems v. ~10% coaching problems.

...seeing the Broncos exploit the Bills CB depth, while Ja'Marcus Ingram was dropped by the Bills (for a no-show Slay) only to get an INT, which the Bills couldn't manage... Is not a coaching lapse.

It's been just over a year since many academics and sociology folks came over to Bluesky. Thought Id share for some more community building and the later arrivals. Feel free to add other sections and areas to the list and or request to be added to any packs!

Yes. That's a thing. And? I feel like I'm communicating with Dunning-Kruger Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading. Yes, yes. Hello! What's your point? There are literal Nazis out there, and you're doing what exactly?

the well-known cost/nothing ratio.

Lol what's your point?!
