If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

I have a new post on the Scholarly Kitchen. The motivation to write it went beyond simply being tired of the tedious, ubiquitous, “rewrite with AI” prompts. Let’s not let these tools take away our unique voices. Instead affirm each other’s worth and celebrate diverse stories. tinyurl.com/2h9sxw2r
