Reminder to my fellow instructors: Ramadan started Friday, February 28 and runs through March 29. Fasting students may be draggy or distracted, and may miss class. If you teach during the day, it's thoughtful to limit food/drink in the classroom.

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

Hivemind: give me your best meatless recipes, please! No food allergies, but none of us like onions, eggs, or squash/zucchini. Every year, we do meatless Mondays during Lent, and I'm always looking for new ideas.

Saw five (5) border patrol trucks on 75 N between exits 20 and 37 in Michigan. I've never seen that many out in one day.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it. This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

GEOC at Wayne State University is unapologetically pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-immigrant, and pro-DEI.

Re-watching A Different World, and I can only imagine how hype it was to watch Dwayne and Whitley's relationship week-by-week. I've seen the entire series more than once already, and I'm still living and dying for this ship.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe was arrested at a city council meeting after stating, “MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is,” before engaging in peaceful civil disobedience.

If I were more spiteful, I would specifically take attendance after students leave early from group work sessions. (Note: I won't, but the temptation is there when I hear/see students say 'I've got other things to work on, so I'm going to head out' and then leave with 20+ minutes of class left LOL)

Well, isn’t this just a bunch of lies? The White House moved to clarify Musk’s role within the DOGE after a court filing this morning stated that the tech billionaire is neither an employee nor an administrator of the commission and has “no actual or formal authority to make government decisions.”
