babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

5 yr-old: “I want an iPhone.” Me: “You can’t have an iPhone! You can’t even read yet.” 5 yr-old: “Well I can sing!”

I demand more roller rinks. We used to be a society.

By the way, Trump still has not publicly congratulated the U.S. women's hockey team. That seems to be lost in all this. No statement. No social media post. No call to them. Nothing.

Gross

Watched #CitizenKane last night prepping for class, and my god, I wonder how many evil people in power used it as a blueprint for life—entirely missing the point. Funny enough, we also talked William Dean Howells’s “Editha” today… #AmLit #AMST #yellowjournalism

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Livers are for Lovers #Atlanta #SWATS

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

If anyone else out there is battling cramps or a stomach ache, just spin the #pitbull that lives under your bedcovers around and you have a perfect heating pad to spoon.

Son: (watching a gorgeous, powerful soloist performing): “What kind of band is this?” A few second later… “Oh! 6-7!” #openingceremony

Me: “We don’t care about Leo DiCaprio!” Son: “yeah, why should we have to care?” Daughter: “Who is Leo Decaptio?” #winterolympics #openingceremony #familycommentary

My 5 yr-old son, cheering when #Mariah hit the high note: “You go girl!” #Winterolympics

Spouse: “Is that Mariah Carey?” Me, looking into the room: “Fuck yes, that’s Mariah Carey, what the fuck is wrong with you?” #winterolympics

Me, seemingly yelling at my children with no context: “Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up! It’s bobsled time!” #winterolympics #coolrunnings

J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it. “There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

At first I thought a Jonas brother was doing commentary for the winter #Olympics, but yeah, I guess it makes much more sense that it’s Shaun White.

My spouse, upon hearing me cry out in pain while cleaning my ears after the shower: Him: “You okay?” Me: “Like the dwarves of Moria, I dug too deep!” #LOTR #nerd #Tolkien

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

I asked my #AmericanStudies students to create powerpoints with audio walking us through their #popculture “guilty pleasures,” and I am so happy I asked them to do this. I have laughed so much, and frankly, I needed it. #edusky #academicsky #highered

Me when my five-year-old needs help with videogames I don’t know how to play: “I don’t know, buddy. Try hitting the back button.” Unless it’s the #TMNT arcade game, I am of little use. #analogchildhood

Registration is now open for WGS South 2026! Can’t wait to see you fine people at Wake Forest University in March! wgssouth.org/conference-r... #wgs #lgbtq #BIPOC #disabilitystudies #intersectionality

Starting a rewatch of Schitts Creek

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

(from www.instagram.com/nobodyssweet...)

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

Shocking, but not surprising. Fundraising links are in the thread to help out additional families and friends struggling with reckless and irreparable loss right now.

As the kids (millennials?) are saying, Bluesky’s got the juice.

Winter is coming. #Atlanta

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

If you want to know if someone’s a good person, just mention Old Dan and Little Ann and see how they react. #englishteacher #Americanliterature

This is tomorrow’s front page for The Minnesota Star Tribune. In a moment in which much of legacy media are enabling and condoning the worst actions of the Trump admin, the reporters and editors of the Star Tribune are not holding back one bit.

As a #19thcentury scholar who regularly makes up songs about her kids and pets, I’m ashamed to say I only began “Maggie, a Girl of the Streets” (about my dog) last night when my son said something similar. #AmLit

The nearly 8yr-old just now—immediately after humming a song from The Sound of Music: “Siri! Play “Pink Pony Club”! These are a strange times.

I don’t know if you’ve tried no-bake cookies with prosecco yet, but if not, I highly recommend it. #treatyoself

“Let’s eat at the table tonight!” (Removes 4 backpacks)

Classes start tomorrow and this is me just 12 days into the new year. #academicsky

Minneapolis.

This week, I learned two new words: clicktatorship and truthstorian. Future historians might be able to make sense of a possible connection.

I like to fantasize about being an old lady who does little else but snuggle big dogs all day. #pitbulls

At this pace, I should be finished planning these two new courses in (checks calendar), roughly 15 weeks. #academicsky

I love chocolate and vanilla, but not in my coffee and definitely not in my beer. I just can’t do it.

Bahahaha
