Those commanding armed forces in time of war where the uniform of their command. They don’t need to wear suits to pander politicians.

I just wanted to say that, whatever you have heard about insurance companies like #Cigna being evil, it’s probably worse. A friend of mine with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer has been repeatedly denied her chemotherapy, MRI imaging, and now blood sugar monitoring equipment for her condition.

So apparently Teams is not entirely sure how to translate the word “neurodivergent.” This is from a workshop I recently gave. From here on out, I ask that you all address me as “nerd virgin.” #neurodivergent #ND #ADHD #autism

It turns out that some academic institutions produce far more garbage research than others, according to Nature.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

So, the trash goblin has apparently leveled up from ripping up plush piggies to horror movie plots. I finished a Zoom class to find a 9-in. chef’s knife on the carpet behind me next to her toys. How the hell did she carry it across the house without cutting herself? #dogsofbsky #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Seriously, though— should we really be shocked that someone who basically grew up being bounced on Roy Cohn’s knee would go full-on McCarthyism ten days into office?

My university got notification from the administration today about the canceled grants and federal funding affecting research and programs that we offer. This is very bad. #EduSky

And yet the middle school where I volunteer requires the pledge of allegiance every morning. So what exactly is defined as indoctrination? #edusky

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

Fun fact: I grew up in a family of hardline right-wingers and, to my father's shame, I became a leftie. But that upbringing taught me a fact that the #resist crowd still hasn't learned: human rights by executive fiat are an illusion. We fooled ourselves into progress for decades. Let me explain.

You’ll never convince me that this attack on “DEI” isn’t a specific + coordinated attack on Black women (the 92%) bc it is our work that erected those programs, created those budgets, challenged administrators and executive teams, etc. But they can’t outpace our creativity or our strength.

Hey there #EduSky, I LOVE to talk about plagiarism with faculty, so I’d love to know: how would you explain #plagiarism to an incoming freshman in ten words or less? I’m serious about those ten words. If it’s going to stick, it’s gotta be punchy. Ready, set go! #AI #GenAI #teaching #pedagogy

Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood neurospicy bridge troll that excusing horrific behavior with the phrase, “oh, he’s just autistic” is ableist bullshit—and it shows how little you actually think of autistic people. Thankyouverymuch

OH SNAP Just to be clear: being autistic doesn’t make you act like a Nazi, but acting like a Nazi does make you an asshole.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
