No tiny delights posts this week because of a tiny-ish non-delight: both spraining and breaking my hand! I suppose that makes ibuprofen my current tiny delight? 2025: Unsubscribe.

I grew up in HB and biked to the library as a kid. My family still lives there & loves the library. They’re furious about the MAGAfication of HB—but not surprised given HB’s history of reactionary politics & white supremacy. Thank you, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social for standing up. You’re not alone.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

If you see this, why not quote with a beach photo from your photo app? This is me with my sister-in-law and niece, finishing a beach race not long after I had surgery. That day felt goooood.

I comfort myself by reading about the Civil Rights Movement. It reminds me why I study what I do and that people working together to make the world better can sometimes win.

As I commented, I agree completely that abstracts need a glow-up. Subvert the paywalls and write the headlines by giving away your big findings in your journal articles' abstracts--a good deed and a good lede, all in one!

Reminded that the world is really hard right now, unrelentingly so, and that it’s worth savoring any little thing that we can, I will now, in my uncomfortably earnest way, report today’s tiny delights: short winter runs and wild rice. (Not actually a Hugh Grant romcom line. Just a lot of commas.)

We know you're thinking about culture and society rightabout now -- why not write something up for @contexts.org's culture section? contexts.org/submission-g... Reach out to section editor @joojitsulee.bsky.social with your ideas, because the more sociology the better right now, eh?

I appreciate how recently Silo reminded us all that you can “throw wrenches” in two exciting ways. You don’t even have to pick: you can do both!* *As an aside, I feel like I could argue the colon in that second sentence should be a semi-colon or even an em-dash. It’ll haunt me.

Current jumpiness index: high. I had a momentary heart flutter when the emergency sirens wound up for their Wednesdays-at-1pm test cycle here in Minneapolis. It's not an air raid, it's not an air raid, it's not an air raid.
