Look whatever you think of her politics she has had to deal w so much shit that it’s impressive she has not morphed into an actual volcano.

Has anyone gone back to school and changed careers at 60? Please tell me your story!

For my writing class this term students have to record themselves reading their rough draft out loud and remarking on any changes they plan to make or things they notice while doing so (good or bad).

Made them a sample recording of me reading a draft.

Cringe to hear (for me) but also helpful.

I teach my science students how to write comprehensive literature reviews, so every semester I meet with each of them to help them choose topics narrow enough they can actually do a comprehensive literature review in one semester

DOJ probes Indiana University's scholarship programs The Justice Department's review comes as the Trump administration targets DEI programs.

There are reasons why it’s sometimes important to not go along.

Oh hell yeah!!!

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

He is my heart. I’ve had him 15 years.

I want to be a citizen of a country that learns from its mistakes and also values human life once it’s born.

Love it but I would need time to get that many cockatiels to trust me!

Hahaha I didn’t know about this. Thank you!

Later life goals

A thing that melts me is that he’s not a super friendly cat, is more the kind who has one person.

And he’s given me the gift of being that person. He follows me through rooms. He sits in my lap only. He guards me from the back of the couch.

This is true and helpful!

Well so does my son and it’s in his bathroom so thank you for helping me come to terms with it!

Yes I salute each house that still has theirs visibly up and on when I walk the dog at night.

We took the Xmas tree down March 1st

It would but this isn’t my room, it’s just one to show the type of tile. This particular bathroom in our house is weirdly large and the shower occupies its own “wing” of the room not near the sink or toilet (white)

Nope.
Even if I could afford it I think marble
looks cold and sterile in a way I don’t like

Yeah I might

I v much didn’t want this sort of faux marble tile so of course that’s all the possible samples our contractor brought except white (and large ones, not subway tile).

Had to get a shower redone and my budget will allow 2 types of tile.

Would you select this fake marble-esque tile or plain white tile with a white tub?

If you donate to the Arbor Foundation right now they will send you 10 free bare-root trees for planting in your area OR they can plant 20 in a forest that needs them.

In case you need trees or like them.

Realized today that I'm working on the last and final project of the now-defunct Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). Which is the official history of US public media, with Allison Perlman (Irvine), and Mike Janssen (Current).

It's hard to fathom just how much damage one administration could do to domestic and international stability in the course of a year. So many commentators have moved past the illegality of yesterday's attacks without thinking about the consequences for the future of US democracy...
