Important info, beautifully rendered. #datavisualization #war

EPIC thread. #retailnightmares #peopleareweird #why #stupidquestions

Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

...no words...

I learned something new today!

Probably the most important book I read this year is Sea of Grass: The Conquest, Ruin, and Redemption of Nature on the American Prairie by David Hage and Josephine Marcotty. Highly recommend. #read #prairie

If you're going to do a job, do it correctly and with integrity, or don't bother doing it at all.

This was well done.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: - Halestorm & Lindsey Stitling with Apocalyptica - Pentatonix - Home Free - Jimmy Buffett - Gaelic Storm

As I was saying... FUCK FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE! 🤬🤬🤬 #leeches #worstofus

Spent all day in ED with our youngest for suicidal ideation. Waiting on transport for inpatient care 6 hours away with bad weather closing in. Fuck those guys with the shitty attitudes about mental health. Fuck shitty for-profit healthcare. Fuck having to worry about cost. Y'all. I'm not happy.

Can anecdotally confirm.

The comments are EPIC. #rtfb

If someone could give whoever it is a solid kick in the shins from me, that'd be great.

We each get our own can for Turkey Day. Good to know it's worth supporting! #superlativecannedgoo #teamjellied #cranberries

Honestly, I wouldn't mind some chickens, myself... #christmas #chickens

So...you're saying that Minecraft spider caves really exist... 😳 😱

For all the librarians out there, ALL of the vendors I have spoken with are looking at how they might expand into the void that was BT. Ingram has been our mainstay. Mackin, Follett, MicroMarketing, Midwest Library Svc, even Barnes & Noble is looking into it. Gonna be a ride as things shake out!

I got accosted in the kindergarten pickup line by a mom who was livid that my kid had said "no" when asked if he liked her daughter's new shoes. I just looked at her, and asked, "Does SHE like them?" 1/2

On top of <gestures wildly at everything>, I am having a very "Per my last email" sort of week. Sigh. 🤦‍♀️ #worklife #communication #facepalm

Oh my word, I wrote about this back when I was doing my PhD. Backyard gardens are no solution to food insecurity - and anyone suggesting it has very limited understanding of the realities of people's lives: thespinoff.co.nz/society/09-0...

I garden, in part, to remember my grandparents. My dad's parents had a small farm & worked everyday well into their 80s because they HAD to. My mom's parents were poor city kids who were SO PROUD when they were finally able to own a place where they could grow a few fresh tomatoes. 🌱 🧵

5 movies to get to know me: - The Last Unicorn - Ladyhawke - Bringing Up Baby - Lord of the Rings* - Galaxy Quest *yes, all three installments of a single story. EXTENDED** **Bonus points for cast commentary. #movies #gettingtoknowyou

This is awesome. #ownvoices

Dreaming about having a little farm of our own...stumbled across this organization: veteransfarming.org

I've had two miscarriages. I was in mental, emotional, and physical anguish. I can't imagine worrying about being unable to get care or fearing getting arrested for seeking care...
