I love this escapist hobby so much! My favorite library (jk I love all libraries) has a pair of wall to ceiling tanks between the adult and kids’ sections and they are amazing.

I washed my water bottle last night and apparently did not sufficiently rinse it and all day I've been drinking dish soap flavored water. Only just realized that's what was off about my drink.

Ew. Also. Wash your water bottles.

I just chortled out loud at this. Thanks for the laugh

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I'm not confessing anything, but

I'm feeling attacked by Canvas with its passive aggressive course shells for next semester's classes showing up randomly. DUDE I AM STILL TRYING TO SURVIVE THIS SEMESTER. I CANNOT POSSIBLY BE EXPECTED TO PLAN CLASSES THAT ARE STILL 3 MONTHS AWAY!! #AcademicChatter

I mostly read fiction with my ears these days…these are excellent stories that shine on audio.

Colorado shows that feeding children is still a popular notion. All school meals should be free.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The thing about teaching in a rural area is that you come across wildlife. Sometimes cute bunnies. Sometimes terrifying howling coyotes.

I love this whole 🧵 bc the thing I brag* about my 1962 house in Central CA is my little "orchard" -- in maybe 10'x15' next to the garage, there's an 🥑 , Meyer 🍋 , grapefruit,🍊, & Ponderosa 🍋 tree. The last one is gross but special.

But. The neighborly kindness is a bright spot in these times.

This is a bullshit idea. SNAP is a bandaid that doesn't fix the underlying issue of ppl working hard but not making enough to feed their kids. But at least SNAP's a sign of our democratic gvt redistributing OUR $$ to help us.

Little Free Pantries are a sign that system is well & truly broken

It's the collective gaslighting.

My toxic trait is when you invite me to a meeting, I will talk. Otherwise, why bother inviting me? Also, I HATE meetings. It could have been an email. #Academia #CrankyProfessor #ItsThatTimeInTheSemester

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

ONE IN EIGHT PEOPLE IN THE US DEPEND ON #SNAP TO EAT EVERY MONTH. INCLUDING REPUBLICANS & PPL in RED STATES.

It's a problem that deserves structural solutions (PAY PEOPLE MORE); in the meantime, the drop in the bucket that food assistance programs are in the federal budget should not be weaponized.
