Here’s my long shot..I recently watched a video about a small Canadian business that recycles bowling alley lanes. They had a nice domino set I’m looking for. Anyone else familiar?

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

sometimes dinner is a bite out of the ole cheese block at 11pm

Monday! 6-8pm on 91.7FM We’re talking all things dying, death, and grief on WMCN’s “Street Theory” with host @streettheorist.bsky.social! We’ll also be joined by a couple incredible end of life minds to chat it out. So looking forward to the heart opening conversation times. Tune in! www.wmcn.fm

The goal of a course is to teach students certain skills, not give them an opportunity to live journal. The assignments are designed to teach and assess the development of those skills. That’s the deal. Instructors teach you what they plan to teach you. Not what your mommy told you to want to learn.

Calling all writers who have projects that fall under the speculative fiction category! This includes science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, alternate universes, dystopias, supernatural stories, and more! Our submissions are now open! #books #publishing #smallpress #manuscripts

I felt a funeral in my brain And mourners to and fro

Here’s my long shot..I recently watched a video about a small Canadian business that recycles bowling alley lanes. They had a nice domino set I’m looking for. Anyone else familiar?

“The agency is also removing the requirement for nursing homes to have 24/7 onsite RN services…” This is bad. www.aha.org/news/headlin...

Just had the privilege of educating a man who was unable to say the word ‘die’ about what to expect as his dad stops dialysis and transitions out of this earthly realm. His relief and gratitude were immense. Some days, the honor of this profession overwhelms me…

“Regardless…protesters are demanding the university reconsider the contract with Key Lime Air.” SUPPORT

Karen remains badass Mike and El are forced and weird Lucas is the best prepared

Good thing I have therapy tomorrow, cause my mommy happened to ask how I am and I’m losing it. After crying to my middle child. Honestly the winter is hard.

Once upon a time shit like this would get you thrown in jail for the rest of your life, but now it’s just a normal Thursday because the cowards in Congress won’t do shit

As CBP forces began disappearing residents in the greater New Orleans area, the New Orleans City Council launched an online portal for residents to report civil & #humanrights abuses by ICE & CBP paramilitary units occupying the city during the Trump regime’s anti-migrant occupation.

Our Somali neighbors show up in death's most vulnerable moments, understanding that death care is community care. Hands on work/presence with the dying, dead, & the grief stricken deeply emboldens the empathy that one walks through the world with. That's a neighbor and friend I want to thrive with.

My family cares for & buries much of the Somali community in the Twin Cities. From first transfer to the mosque, to washing & wrapping, to prayers, to burial, as many hands that can assist do so. It's with the utmost reverence, love, & presence. To stand witness to it is to know care for community.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but go on and take a few sips of water. Hydrate those kidneys, you’ve not drank anything in a while.

Good evening, I’m at the D11 board meeting where there is a protest over the treatment of teacher Angelica Givler-Viers.

UNL faculty and alumni held a second line funeral parade to protest budget & program cuts, which is badass and provocative in a good way. journalstar.com/news/state-r...

Kidney recipient Craig Merritt says the racially biased calculation basically said that Black people weren't as sick. "It's stating that Black people's kidney functions are doing better than white people so you don't need dialysis... or a transplant right now." Tune in here: bit.ly/WIBOnBorrowedTime

My novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster makes a fantastic holiday gift. It's a queer mother-daughter story about healing and learning to see each other more clearly. With bonus 18th century literature secrets! (Thanks to the Booksmith for letting me take photos there.)

I was never taught about John Brown in school. Were you?

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

A love story for these fashy times

Any queer historians, theologists or mythologists following me? I’m trying to compile a full list of known queer figures from antiquity, religion, or myth.

Good to know that Colorado also cancels school with no snow on the ground the night before! 😆

So the love of my life died 15 years ago. Each year, before and after I met him, his grandmother (who he nicknamed satan) gave him the hallmark muscle car ornaments. This year, for the first time ever, I got the cars out and hung them on a tree. What’s your fave muscle car, kids?

They’re bad guys. That’s it. They’re the villains, with shitty origin stories to boot. Thankfully, we have super powers aka love, tolerance, compassion, curiosity, strength and wisdom. Be well, and do good

6:53p: Snow trying to develop already down south, but it’s gonna be a little while. Lots of dry air at the surface = it’s snowing aloft, but it won’t reach the ground for a bit. #COwx

To give you an idea of how ridiculous the gerrymandering in Nashville is, here’s our district. They diluted a third of Nashville into a rural area about 50 times as large that extends north to the Kentucky border and about a third of the length of the state to the east.
