Good reminder that while my chronic illness is the best managed it's ever been, it's not perfect and can still surprise me in the worst ways: I accidentally shat myself in a meeting today.

I just listened to a Fresh Air episode where they interviewed a guy named McKay and all I could think about was Euphoria.

I have a favorite NSF Program Officer. I owe much of my career to his insight, optimism, and willingness to take risks on my ideas at key formative moments. If I find out he’s been fucked with, I absolutely will find a path to vengeance, even if it takes decades.

Today I was reading the eighth grade California history standards. I sure wish more people in our country knew the things that are covered by them.

When I watched my "White Lotus" season and this shot came up, I was so busy laughing at Patrick Schwarzenegger CLEARLY being stylized to look like his dad in "Terminator" that I missed that the kids are Mizaru/Kikazaru/Iwazaru - the See/Hear/Speak No Evil Monkeys.

This series should be canceled. Any actor who participates will wear it as a stain for the rest of their career. Where do you stand on trans rights? Being part of this show tells us. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

People talk about the importance of understanding the mind – body connection. I think I get it now. I haven’t had a good shit since Trump became president again.

The best parts of wearing a Neko Case sweatshirt at work are people asking you what a Neko Case is, telling people about Neko Case, sending them links to Neko Case music, and then remembering to put on some Neko Case when you’re not in a meeting.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

LOL. While most US academics are (appropriately) panicking about looming cuts to overhead rates and the devastating impact that will have, Stanford just sent out a newsletter about the good time its AI researchers had at Davos. Read the room, people.

Here’s a strategy: 1) establish the frames, what problems will these changes cause, how will they impact communities; 2) inspire people to use those frames to tell their own stories of their families or communities are impacted; 3) amplify those stories.
