@helendecruz.net (1978-2025), RIP open.substack.com/pub/digressi...

The universe works in mysterious ways. Went out for a walk to find out where the Fête stages are and I was complaining that there were no swings around. FFD 10 min: We come across a newly hung swing 100m from our residence, courtesy of the Schaukelguerilla! Ofc I had my fun (until a kid showed up).

Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to give three different talks across six days in three different cities in two countries but who could've seen that would inconvenience me slightly?!! 😫

til that there are people actively learning turkish to be able watch turkish soap operas and idk what to make of this knowledge! it's a terribly difficult language to learn (especially coming from an english-speaking background) so that's gotta be A LOT of love for the slo-mo drama!!

Ok, remember a few days ago when I said that my friends/colleagues are badass and to look forward to good stuff coming later this week... First up is @dannagal.bsky.social with this devastating, beautiful & deeply personal takedown of the MAHA movement. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/o...

every time i interact with sociologists of science, i'm fascinated by the level of depth they bring into their analyses. qualitative research is beyond my skillset but i so appreciate there's a group of skilled scholars who have mastery over these methods, whose insights i greatly benefit from.

Can't wait to immerse myself in great talks and heated discussions at this amazing interdisciplinary workshop organized by @ufeest.bsky.social for two days. #metasci #philsci #sts #histsci

Thank you to the hundreds of business leaders who are standing against the unconscionable attacks on our university system. They know that was is being destroyed is future American innovation and prosperity.
