American civilization is collapsing under the weight of shitty people who are frankly fine with this happening because he’s called Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

"No way they'll come for citizens, stop overreacting" were takes I saw online just this morning.

🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!! But...good news and bad news. 👍 I'm thrilled for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now. 👎 # of fellowships went down by 51% (1000 this year vs. 2036 last year) See here: www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Another visit to the in-laws has come and gone, and once again I have not snuck into their tv settings to turn off the motion smoothing. Maybe next time.

Every semester I draw a lot of anatomy diagrams on the whiteboard, so I decided to put my dubious camera and editing skills to work. I've got a lofty goal of a video a week until I run through my "usual" diagrams, but we'll see. First up, great vessels of the heart! youtu.be/t4-CTau5yLU?...

That awkward feeling of knowing all your grades are submitted, but observing/trying to assist some administrative chaos happening in other courses.

I broke an egg on the counter instead of into the bowl AND snapped a wooden spoon while mixing. This batch of cookies may be more cursed than normal.

I think one of the things I tell people about being a professor (or teacher!) that makes total sense but they never thought about: proctoring tests is the absolutely most boring part of the job.

How... how is it December already?

In-laws recently started watching Lost, so we did a post-Thanksgiving binge. There’s something very satisfying about being the only person in the room to have seen the first few seasons and dropping cryptic hints to the family. Maybe I should actually finish it? I think I stopped watched after s3.

Bless my observant TA, who noticed I forgot to put a limit on the number of students who could sign up to take their final in December (40+ students had signed up for a time slot in a room that can fit ~25).

I'm glad the university cancelled classes today. It may have played merry hell with the lab schedule, but I'm not in a fit state to be around students. Gonna stay in my PJs and catch up on grading and will time to speed up.

fwiw my therapist was straight-up like “pull every single legit coping lever you have right now and don’t feel guilty about it, distraction is key,” maybe you also needed to hear this

It always bothered me in Avengers 1 that Tony, having never met Thor, would know Thor wouldn't respond well to someone asking him to put the hammer down. Over a decade later I finally realized, of course Tony knows because HE DID THE HOMEWORK from the night before. #insomniathoughts

The awkwardness of failing to hit the Schedule Send button, so your reply sent out at 9PM starts off with "Good morning". ... Maybe they won't notice.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
