This a fact I just learned today when contacting my budget office to ask about how much money I actually had at KU. Its currently unclear how fucked we all are, but we're fucked quite a bit.

If you work at or attend a university, one thing you can do today is find an email for the federal work study office and ask them how federal work-study students are faring right now.

Our internal administrations need to get the message that lots and lots of people are paying attention.

You guys, I won an award from KU, but the prize is that I *get* to attend a sports game.

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks the fact that the Earth spins at 1,000 miles an hour and that β€œwe have no idea we’re even moving” means that God must be real. Okay… well, Marjorie’s big mouth moves at 1,000 miles an hour, and I have no idea what she’s even saying, so Satan must be real, too.

This is how you help fascism. By normalizing it. By making it easy. By making it the default. Before anyone even asks.

As a Poe fan though, I have to say I see the ending of this story coming a mile away. The Fall of the House of Usher is a book on my bookshelf.

Starting off my Fall Break by binging The Fall of the House of Usher.

Just now realizing what a fascination with burying people behind walls that Poe had. I mean, I've read the stories...but somehow I missed that theme?

I woke up early this morning, so heck yeah I watched the Love is Blind finale.

It was a snoozefest.

WHY THE FUCK is Outlook now policing my tone?!? It highlights phrases and tells me my tone might be off and would I like some suggestions to change it?

NO. FUCK YOURSELF. How's that for tone?

People, double-blind proposals mean your references NEED to be in number format!

It's obvious who the author is when they are not. If they are in number format, I certainly don't go read the reference list.

This should be enforced by every TAC.
