So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I admit this video did convince me to get IMAX tickets

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I donated $20 when I saw your first post
Thank you for sharing!

Voted! Also worked the polls all morning and at least in my ward turnout has been pretty high all day!

I don’t think I ever cried during the first episode of survivor until this moment

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S. Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

Hi!! Good morning from Wisconsin!

2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Outside of the immediate institutional impacts, $900M dollars also vanished overnight that would otherwise go into local economies and payroll.

Do we imagine losing nearly one billion dollars worth of canceled contracts also won't have negative downstream macroeconomic effects?

This just keeps getting scarier and more bizarre. This is literally a coup!

Congratulations and good luck! It’s so hard to feel motivated by a dissertation right now so it’s truly a huge accomplishment! I’m working on mine about how math teachers experience uncertainty in relation to the purpose of math ed and find support. I’d love to hear more about your work!

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students. Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Babies first time slicing an actual (but relatively small) chunk off her finger! After many many burns and small cuts I’m just surprised it took me this long

They say they want education to be "data driven," but they ignore the empirical flaws with the data that are produced.

They say that families should have "educational choice," but ignore that cities lack the transportation infrastructure for "choice" to actually function...

The U.S. Economy Is Racing Ahead. Almost Everything Else Is Falling Behind. The gap between Americans’ prosperity and quality of life has grown since the 1990s.

More data supporting the idea that money alone does not create happiness.

Investment in social security, our communities, and equitable access to prosperity needs to be at least as important as the economy if we want to be happier as a nation.

There is something nefarious about how hard and fast people are pushing AI in education.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it doesn’t bode well when corporations, not student need, set the pace with which we adopt new technologies.

This morning I to a inspiring and thoughtful talk with a room full of other researchers and educators about the success of coalition-building against harmful conservative education agendas. It was the most hopeful I’ve felt in weeks.

It’s not a list of classics, and uses a very loose definition of power ballad. Really it’s just my favorite songs to belt. Always open to recommendations

Power Ballads (to scream when you remember how scary the world is) Playlist · Amanda Coviello · 74 items

I’ve been feeling like screaming recently (who knows why) and so I made a playlist of scream able songs which for me means power ballads

I’m loving both these songs right now! Definitely surprised Messy is so low

Never sure how to start these things. Here’s some things I made and animals I love. Hi!
