Pantone Chooses White as Color of the Year for the First Time Pantone's color of the year for 2026 is Cloud Dancer, a 'billowy white' that is meant to bring calm to a chaotic world

High level trolling. Don’t fall for it.

Part of what’s so frustrating about the right wing attack on “DEI” is that it cornered us into fighting for a weak framework whose Implementation was overrun by deeply morally bankrupt people

This episode of @academicaunties.com is 🔥 - @tariajadi.bsky.social and I talk about how academia is an MLM, the importance of mentors + community, the sweet freedom that comes with leaving, and why being an academic is JUST A JOB. www.academicaunties.com/episodes/aca...

David Cochrane asks about the fact that it would’ve been impossible for the coastal First Nations to travel from their communities to meet the feds on the timeline the govt offered.

“It’s called Zoom,” Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson responds.

URGENT: Stop Alberta's Government From Overriding Charter Rights of Trans Youth Healthcare is a right, protected by evidence, compassion, and core Canadian values.

It's heartbreaking what's happening in Alberta and trans youth. To invoke the notwithstanding clause makes it appalling - this is meant to be used as a last resort! Sign this petition if you are appalled by what's happening: transactionalberta.ca #abpolitics #transyouth

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

The #1 lesson from yesterday’s blowout:
Humanities majors killed on the job market
1) Mamdani- Africana Studies
2) Spanberger -French
3) Sherill - Global History

WATCH LIVE: Zohran Mamdani addresses supporters after winning 2025 NYC mayoral race YouTube video by PBS NewsHour

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

#Zohran wins as mayor of NYC!!!!!! A progressive wins - hooray!

Can I use part of my bereavement leave and cancel work this week? (Just kidding- or am I?) Yes, it was a good game, and yes, I'm proud of the Blue Jays but that loss is so hard to take. Clearly I need to go through all the stages of grief first, oof. #worldseries #bluejays

Chant at the bar, says my friend: "I feel nauseous, clap clap clap clap clap." Followed by "let's go blue jayyysss..." #bluejays

As we start the 9th inning, no matter what happens (and although I obviously want the #bluejays to win), this is just a damn good game, and a damn good series. THIS is how baseball should be played.

Hahaha loved seeing these when trick or treating today. Let's go Blue Jays!!!

will kim is still in ICE detention

This was such a fun way to reflect on and unpack my very meandering PhD journey! Thanks to @tungohan.bsky.social for making space for my interdisciplinary and any-disciplinary ways!

For @academicaunties.com , @aadita.bsky.social & I chat about the difficulties of supporting projects that break academic norms even in interdisciplinary environments. We also talk abt research undertaken outside the academy & why it can be more cutting edge! www.academicaunties.com/episodes/col...

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Ugghhhhhhh.

See if an 11 year old understood how silly this whole marriage idea is, why couldn't belly and jet? Heh.

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem
