Yes.

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and *deeply* unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Just saw a list of store closures for the Joann Fabrics bankruptcy. None closing in NC. How? Our Joann’s with long lines, horrible lighting, and very low expectations persists.

Loving this! Will add to our next trip to Baltimore

My grandma is dying. My family lives 600+ miles away. I have a baby and a life that does not have time for a week of driving there and back. Flying is becoming measurably less safe. Goddammit

We got outside for a walk in the woods. You should too. Go pet a dog, read to a toddler, make tea and ask your friend to come over. We played in the park yesterday and murmured with neighbors who all may want to get into good trouble. The good stuff is offline.

Rat-a-tat cat is the best card game of all time. Fight me

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social JIC you are feeling down, your Skype A Scientist match for my classroom is already bringing me so much joy!!!!! I just started emailing my match and I cannot believe I’m going to get to bring this to my kids.

Psssst. I’m showing this to all my middle school science students today

I pin a lot of weird animal facts and photos. I’m currently teaching evolution and adaptations. These kids are gonna see deep sea pig butt worms.

Instagram gets very pushy via email reminders when you don’t look at it for a couple weeks. Wowsa. I just can’t condone my daughter ever looking at it now that it pushes awful videos even on the search screen.

🦑🧪 Three days left to apply for the postdoctoral position in my lab. We're looking for a population geneticist/ecologist/evolutionary biologist who is interested in studying tiny fishes in the Indo-Pacific! Come join us! 🤗 fishandfunctions.com/s/Postdoc_Ad...

Getting me through a baby wakeup

Highly recommend a trail run and a lunchtime walk talking with people you care about as a counterpoint to everything.

This nonsense is so dumb. Call reps, organize for direct action, talk in your community, don’t comply with fascism. But boycott the superbowl? It will do nothing. This diversionary propaganda targeting liberals is wild.

Ah yes. Threaten the teachers who care for their most vulnerable students. Teachers who have settled for less money, no prestige, and impossible workloads. In a time with a grave teacher shortage. Target education and knowledge and children.
