Every time I wonder why we are so freaking paranoid, I am reminded of why we are so freaking paranoid. 🤣🤣😭

At some point in the last 50 years, the Presbyterians changed the words to the Doxology. Not sure how long it took me to notice. Years I’m sure.

I was in my comfy bed in my comfy pjs with a book by 8:30 last night. I’d say “this is what happens when you hit 50” but I’ve always been this way.

Nice win

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We could really use an offense. Srsly, any offense. #GoBlue

I'm old and don't watch much that comes in video formats, so I guess it slipped past me! LOL

I will say, my 13yo literally laughed in my face when I asked if he'd ever heard of Bad Bunny.

I’ll admit that in this particular instance I don’t know what I believe because I’d never heard of Mr Bunny until, well, today. I’m definitely not the one losing sleep over a Super Bowl halftime show. Honestly, nobody should unless they’re literally performing in it.

Didn’t know that but definitely not surprised.

Yeah, I kinda guffawed at the grade inflation thing. In a laugh-or-else-I’ll-cry way.

Opinion | The moment I knew the world would try to move on from Jamal Khashoggi I could see it coming at Time’s 2018 Person of the Year celebration.

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

I think some folks don’t understand the reason for sex imbalances in higher ed and are going to be surprised by the results of not considering sex in college admissions.

Jane Goodall, famed primatologist who discovered chimpanzee tool use, dies at 91 Dame Jane Goodall, the world's preeminent chimpanzee expert, died of natural causes.

Sadly, Jane Goodall has died. But her legacy - in conservation and chimp studies - will live on. 🧪

I have feelings about Microsoft. Deep, deep feelings.

Sure, I spent the whole day getting the Power Automate to send a dozen emails. But the next time I need to send those emails, all I need to do is change this one field and...spend another day trying to get Power Automate to send a dozen emails.

I should have known he had an anthropological lens on the world. Why else would I love reading about mens wear?!?

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Walkability and density are definitely reasons to be on the coast. My mom has a condo at half the price of that studio and she doesn't have to do yard work. I bike, walk, and ride the bus most places, but it's true we still need to drive a lot of places, too.

Sure, I understand. I mean, we have a big family and a big garden, but my mom has a small condo for half the price. I bike, walk, and ride the bus, and campus has more cultural events than I could possibly attend. But it's not the Met!

100% I'm living back in my hometown (after 30 years away) and I absolutely understand the financial, practical, and emotional ties that bind. I'd fight tooth and nail to stay in an expensive area if I'd grown up there, too.

I'm 100% serious. I literally saw a listing today for a studio apartment that is being offered for the same price we purchased this house. If you need to be there for work, I get it, but otherwise...why??? You realize we have culture and stores and people in mid-America too, right?

Look, I'm Flyover born and bred, but I will never understand why y'all on the coasts stay in places where you're paying as much for a studio apartment as we paid for a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home with a double lot and two bonus rooms.

13yo got a signed copy of Rick Riordan's newest book from our local bookstore, Schuler's. He's over the moon. I'm so grateful for Mr. Riordan's support of diverse writers, characters, and local bookstores.
