If you got 8 your probably doing well.

Undergrads? 1.

The requirements for obtaining a Woman Owned Small Business certification are so high and the benefits so small, it's not worth the effort.

I see we are back to giving Putin everything he wants.

I bought a Surface from @microsoft.com that was supposed to arrive on October 29th. It is November 19th, and I still don't have my new computer. I can't get any help online or through the 1-800 number. Does anybody here have ideas?

This. Absolutely this.

I stopped at a rest stop on I-5 last week and tried to buy a caffeinated beverage at the vending machines. They were cashless and only took apple pay. My brain shorted out too.

On my way to Pitch Perfect and Boost the EU Bioeconomy 2025 in Brussels via Türkiye.
I’ll stay at the family farm in Türkiye and visiting one CMO in Tuzla, Türkiye, before flying to Brussels to visit another CMO and pitch to European investors at Pitch Perfect. Join me in Brussels to learn more.

If you attended the @entcollnet.bsky.social meeting last year in Phoenix, you may have met some of our youngest attendees, Connor Hsu & Cole Crammer. Here they are with @drfirefly.bsky.social!

They’re now in 11th grade and this year they’re back to deliver their first ever ECN talk! [1/3]

I'm at the #Entomology2025 conference in Portland and I chose to drive over 500 miles to avoid the uncertainty of air travel right now.

lmao

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people.

it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper:

cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

“70% of wage-earning adults who rely on government programs like SNAP and Medicaid work full-time, many at hugely profitable companies like Walmart and McDonald’s whose low wages are effectively subsidized by tax dollars without any of the blame or paternalistic lectures.”

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

In 2023:
-39% of SNAP users were Americans under the age of 18
-19% of SNAP users were 60 or older
-60% of SNAP benefits went to families with children

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Hi! We need lice for our diversity and adaptation project. Specifically, we need lice from zebras, camelids (camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos) & aardvarks. If you or someone you know might have lice, I'm happy to discuss our inclusive collaboration plans!

As a parent of special needs kids I find this abhorrent.

huge dragon (only the head visible) resting in a body of water in a forest. Lots of vines and tree branches dangling down, a stream running over its head and a great white egret taking off from the water next to it.

a mermaid with a pink tail resting on a rock and leaning back on her hands as her tail comes out of the water. In the background is a lagoon and some cliffs and further back the hint of a waterfall

a precarious tall hill with a wizard's house sitting on top of it with a wisp of smoke coming out of the chimney. It is dusk and all the windows are yellow with the light from inside.

a large winged blue dragon prepares to land on a nest with two baby blue dragons waiting in the nest for their dinner.
