For me, home isn't a place, it's people. I want to be with my people. Sometime that's where I live, where they live, where neither of us live... Home is with people that love you or at least like you for a little while.

I dont worry about offending ppl with the food I choose to put in my own body. U can be offended or u can be rational Either way, thats none of my concern

If Link were here, he'd remind you how good your mother's sweet potato pie was and how bitter life is without you. But we can't have nice things. Too bad we can't warm up what was leftover of us. #FreeLink #NoFutureWithoutLink

Email Time spent typing: 90 seconds Time spent trying to be clear, but not so clear as to let everyone know what you're actually thinking: 28 minutes

Haven't shared anything from untapped in a while. This is one of the 4 badges I unlocked with this beer.

"Mrs Agnew's first language is BSL. Upon arrival at hospital, she typed her request for an interpreter on her phone. But the receptionist asked, 'What is a BSL interpreter?', Mrs Agnew said." I can understand clarifying BSL, but what access is being provided when unfamiliar with the options?

Turkey day is fast approaching, which means families all over the country are gathering to "give thanks". This year, I challenge you all to call out your MAGA relatives and hold them accountable for their apathy, their bigotry and their hate. Don't give them a pass "for the holidays".

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

About to watch A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and feel nostalgic.

The numbers shouldn't even matter. The Serious People know that vaccines are good. If you believe otherwise, you are excused from the conversation and responsibility to govern. Go play make believe- we have stuff to do.

When people ask me if I miss the US, my answer is friends and spicy food anytime. I realized this week I'd often be traveling, cooking with a partner, or generally spending quality time. Here- it's just another week. Class tomorrow, no days off. It's cool, but different.

If meal prepping or recipe curation is your thing, the Paprika app is having its annual 50% sale through the rest of the month. Reviews are stellar. Do note: when you purchase, it's per device. If you browse recipes on your laptop, but want the app when you're shopping, that's 2 purchases.

I have to write an author bio (50 words max) and my first thought was simply "...is That Dude."

I do not believe Pras deserves 14 years, but if your lawyer uses AI during closing arguments, someone is going away for something.

I want my brownies thicc, dense af. When you pick it up you are surprised at the heft and your fingers are wet after having one. If they are low-key mistaken for fudge, I'm not mad.

At some point, people have to say no. That's not all they must do, but it can start with that. No, I will not do that.

Hilariously, I just had a reviewer recommend a rejection of my paper because I used an ethically and gender diverse sample, in a study that showed that an LLM was biased against women and people of color. I guess they wanted me to use a group of white men to illustrate the bias?

I was definitely about to miss my train tomorrow. Recalled the time for the second one, but not the first. I would have showed up a solid 4 hours late!

I love my US colleagues and friends but I could do with a day or two where I don't hear anything about that country

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Ya know what, treat everything coming from official US government channels as poor propaganda, doublespeak, intentionally deceptive, or ignorant. So...a bit more nakedly obvious than before.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

So Ice went to Charlotte, got scared of a 70 yr old lady w/ a shotgun, got ran into the woods over night, done had their cars left on brake pads in front of their hotels, and Now facing Open Carrying, 2A loving, Law abiding citizens & protesters and they shookith!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Attended the doctoral defense for my friend @solvntr.bsky.social I'm incredibly proud of her and her work! Love seeing colleagues rock out and the enthusiasm they have for their work. And the accessibility and translanguaging was top notch.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

hey cis friends when i say we need you to be an accomplice, not an ally this is what i mean

Drinking water.

Decadent. 😶‍🌫️

Breaking: per internal sources, there is an all-hands meeting at what's left of the Dept. of Ed. Expected to announce movement of remaining special education programming to the Dept. of Labor. (The move is illegal and most disability-related workers from DoL are also gone.) Meeting at 2pm.

NEW: The Tate brothers, who have been accused of sexual misconduct in three countries, had their devices seized by law enforcement when they arrived in the U.S. Days later, a White House official told DHS to return them.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

New York State DOT is advising motorists that State Route 31 eastbound will be reduced to one lane between Clover St and Pittsford Plaza, from 8 p.m. until 11:30 a.m. beginning Sunday, November 16, for a MCWA project. The work is expected to be completed by November 21. Questions - MCWA 442-2009

If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.

Incredibly important story to share. Imagine the work that could be done if it was just The Work™️ and not the work, plus explaining why you shouldn't be...racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, etc, etc, etc. I have to be in this place AND convince you I should be safe and how to make it so.

Is Allen allergic to the checkdown? It's 4 & 2 and the back is open, why are you throwing into coverage? #Bills

“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman,” Obama told Ellis Ross. “We got a lot of growing up to do and there’s still … a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman and we saw it.”

too real lol

IMPORTANT: He confronted who? The person that didn't break stride or cede physical space to him. I can't remember it at present but there's a technical term for this specific racialized expectation.

If only it was a more standard mfa implementation?l, or better yet passkeys. It’s kind of weird the mfa implementation for a modern system is fucking email. It’s not 2010 any more.

BlueSky could have shared a screenshot of my tweet showing the Oct 10 timestamp and that I was using Johnny Cash lyrics to quote-tweet about an article on Johnny Cash. Instead, they made it look like I issued a random death threat and falsely claimed I posted it this week. They should apologize.

I've been trying to take a nap for 2 hours, but these deadlines continue to make themselves known. Now it's almost the time I'd planned to get up from said nap.

Going to work without pay should not be incentivized. Back pay, certainly for everyone, but here's a little extra for us taking advantage of you so it'll be easier next time, no.

I just want one— ONE— decently-run short-form social media framework in this heaven-forsaken benighted hellscape of an internet age; why is that so much to ask??? bsky.app/profile/mommunism.bsky.social/post/3m5hmytc2xs2f

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Would be nice if Nintendo would take accessibility seriously. Their games are notoriously inaccessible to disabled people. They never caption their YouTube videos, you have to rely on auto-captions, which aren't always great.

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

We're a global pariah and our longtime allies don't want to aid and abet this regime's crimes against humanity.
