Imagine being obliterated in a rocket explosion 11,000 feet above the Gulf of Mexico because you picked McNeese State over Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.

Can't even with today, so I'll just focus on the fact that I listened to a webinar about data activism outside in 75 degree weather, lit my grill for the first time this year (finishing off a sous vided brisket), and found the first crocus of the season

This is unacceptable, and as an identifiably Jewish academic, I have to say: Not in my name. I refuse to be the government’s excuse for xenophobia, Islamophobia, and anti-Palestinian racism. This is not for my safety, and it never will be.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

I still feel physically sick after watching this. What kind of performative toxic masculinity cosplay is this and how can any country ever trust or respect America again?

Slow clap for @maddow.msnbc.com for calling out @msnbc.com for firing @joyannreid.bsky.social along with Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin, and Katie Phang. Ironic to see this absolute model of using your power to call out wrong right after the interview with Hakeem Jeffries.

Absolutely stunning performances by Coalescence Theatre Project today to a packed room. I'm so thankful for those who make art and give us courage and joy in the scariest of times. (And yes, I went from teary eyed to total sobbing as they recited Claude McKay's "If We Must Die" and "America")

Taking the fact that I can't get through to any of my senator's phone lines as a positive. I emailed them instead and hope they are being flooded with calls from Americans demanding they stop this coup.

Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions. "About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors." dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/02/f...

It's day 14 and the only thing standing between us and a breakdown of national security and safety is a man who calls himself "the drizz" and actually is only there accidentally because the transition team incorrectly assigned him to the role

Me: if the whole world is going to implode, I really want to be going to the gym less and eating pizza more. @madsciencepro.bsky.social : you finally see my point of view! Keep fighting, folx. I've already emailed @npr.org to ask for accurate reports; will call my representatives this afternoon.
