Cat snuggling my arm and purring herself to sleep.

She was purring softly, completely melted.

Prices are tariffying. FTFY

When I was in school, there was a faculty member in my department whose first name was Colleen. Sometimes she'd get all excited in an email and not pay enough attention to where her fingers were on the keyboard and sign off as Cikkeeb 🤣

He thinks something being "peer reviewed" means you squinted at it twice.

DOGE's role:

Look at what they said about mass deportations, and look what happened.

TAKE THIS AS THE SERIOUS THREAT IT IS.

They’re talking about trans people just like the Nazi party did about Jews (and trans people for that matter). They also talk about democrats the same way the Nazis talked about alleged communists.

At a certain point mainstream democrats need to realize that compromise is no longer possible

Black women are telling you not to register to attend a protest because we have parents and family and friends and church folks who survived the Civil Rights movement and in some cases didn’t

And also because we read and in some cases do historical work

But hey if you wanna listen to random dude

In this environment where the white supremacy boys are making lists to get you fired or harassed, DO NOT sign up lists to attend protests!

Using AI to mark essays written by AI - what's the actual point of the university?

So much this. People arguing about whether the real problem is racism or classism need to take heed. It's both, with classism taking 2nd place in the Asshole Olympics.

Just because they'd rather their 2nd-class citizens be white (esp. females) doesn't mean they want us to have good lives.

@bookersquared.bsky.social Coming with the facts.

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

Saying, "... Be a beacon?" is cause for instant fits of laughter in my household

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

That sounds exhausting. Similar to that slow, creeping realization that relationships with friends and family are withering because just being around them means you have to choose between tacitly supporting their bigotry or speaking up... and you can't stand the former but still dread the latter.

They call us "useless eaters." The vibes of their "make America healthy again" slogan are saturated with eugenics.

The policies they're enacting seem to be paving the way to killing off everyone who's unhealthy.

Everyone wants to wake up but the work is isolating. Each question you answer makes you ask 8 more. Each revelation makes cruelty harder. But it makes you aware of how easy cruelty is. Awakening is not fun for a long time. And you meet a lot of people who mean it in words only.

So true. Each revelation makes the cruelty less abstract and more horrifying. And every time you bring the topic up with people who still just sleepwalk through life, you become more appalled at how they dodge, downplay, and deny.

It's isolating because their tacit complicity is repulsive.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

He hasn't evaded the consequences. He's just oblivious to them. That can happen when the consequences mutilate your brain.

... Into the ground, on the way to hell.

No, autocorrekt, I did NOT mean "help."

JUST SHUT UP!!!🤬🤬🤬
