First year of MS, my PI double-booked for Summer and asked if I could sub in to teach a high school engineering bootcamp. It was the first course I ever designed, I got in contact with our engineering education department and collabed on it. That landed me a pedagogy fellowship- the rest is history

this is the greatest Christmas movie ever made and if you disagree you're wrong

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

Just got out of a packed Wicked screening. SO GOOD. I was skeptical about the run time- this only covers Act 1 and it's as long as the entire stage musical. But the breathing room feels fine. There were tears in my row- a lot of old timer fans so happy to see this story on screen!

If you were a villain- who would you be?

literally every trans person I know is labeled an "activist" just by virtue of existing and wanting to keep existing, and sure, everyone should advocate for others and better things, but it also means they'll dismiss anything you say because it's "biased"

Local Democratic electeds: this is the new standard

the way that Nancy Mace is sexually harassing her trans colleague as well as everyone else she works with by making them listen to her perverted unsolicited thoughts about genitals all day long...... what other workplace on earth would allow that

this essay is full of actual research showing trans women pose no threat to cis women in restrooms & other sex-segregated spaces. if you encounter any cis ppl discussing/debating the Mace/McBride/congressional restroom fuckery, pls share this link with them: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

A group of Los Angeles residents claimed a bear damaged their luxury cars. Insurers and authorities discovered it was really a man in a bear suit.

Upset that under this new administration, I've basically shelved any post-doc plans for schools in strongly red states. There are wonderful schools that thrive despite being in states that hate public universities. I can only wish them the best in fighting the good fight.

Check your carrots. The CDC warns of a bad E. coli outbreak across at least 18 states with one death identified so far.

this isn’t a new photo - I took it a few years ago - but wanted to share it regardless

Family includes everyone! ❤️

I'm very disappointed by all the people who don't understand what this means A little louder now. You don't know ANY undocumented people. You are not able to direct authorities to ANY undocumented people. You have no idea who they are looking for.

1. How the mental and physical deficits from stroke confound assessments of either type 2. Central Pattern Generation development. How does the spinal cord *learn* and *create memories*? Just this year we saw proof it can store memories separate from the brain, and just- how??
