This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Time to offer up some website domains I've had for a long time. I was going to sell them, but my preference is for them to go to people in the genealogical community, so I'm offering them in exchange for a donation to @reclaimtherecords.org. Tried this once before and 2 went to wonderful homes!

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Working really hard to record my intro videos for this semester‘s classes and that millennial pause is just baked into me

Be helpful if you can. Be prickly when you have to. Be someone's light in the darkness. Be the reason a forest is considered haunted. But most of all, be kind and stay weird.

Almost no attention has been paid to what is going on in Sudan. I donated to Kristof’s initiative that matches funds for Sudan relief, linked at the end of his piece

I very much appreciate the two extra days’ paid holiday my university gave us for Christmas—but they may want to rethink sending out course evals just after midnight December 25 😂 But my students gave me the gift of nice evals so it’s all good 😊 😅 #AcademicSky
