My family and friends keep asking me if "I'm ok" whenever a new fresh horror is released and how can I be when the students and faculty I support are not?

An interesting story for both its genomic correlation of oral history traditions and details on how indigenous representatives requested & collaborated with scientists for the study. Nature's news article is partially paywalled, but here's a gift link to the Washington Post account: wapo.st/3S2X2LP

y'all do understand that they want to make an "autism registry" because then people won't want to get diagnosed which means the number will drop and then they can claim they "cured" autism, right? and y'all understand the next thing is a "transgender registry", right?

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

To clarify this a little. In conversations with a lot of professors across disciplines, the amount of time and energy professors are dedicating to restructuring around cheating or detecting cheating has increased exponentially in the last 3 years. This is a completely uncompensated additional labor.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

Sort of a surreal feeling to have NOAA (???) suggest that noting the impact of a reduction in weather observations is disrespectful. I feel extremely safe in saying 99% of their staff feels otherwise. Needless to say, I and @coweatherman.bsky.social are 100% pro-NOAA/NWS.

Past few years we shared w/ another family. This year they didn’t want to & I decided we could afford to keep doing it & have Food Not Bombs pick it up every other week. If you have a community fridge you could drop what you don’t use there too. If you have kids it’s helped ours try new stuff.

Since 2000, no state has seen a larger decline in the proportion of all employees who are union members than Wisconsin. Wisconsin just elected a supreme court that is likely to strike down the law driving that decline. Forward!
