Here’s more of a scene by scene rundown, but yeah, I’ll take a long-read analysis of this performance for sure

Last time the Super Bowl was in “SF”, Beyoncé performed the half time show right? That one also got a certain sector of America all mad too if I recall

Like what is wrong with you if don’t catch that infectious joy? Great halftime show

Stuck inside with the snow so I guess I’ll work out some of my rage on the exercise bike

Sure love it that Chuck Schumer’s numbers are “not in service”

This is incredible!

My love language is making an absolute mess of the kitchen. Yes, I clean as I go. I promise it will be delicious!

This is how my dog would spend all winter, uninterrupted if possible. Me too buddy, me too.

Got to hear a dad praise public transit and how it’s better than driving on my morning ride in. Start their love for public services young! Warmed my heart.

Was feeling a bit meh 🤧today and decided to finish my grading at home. I just woke up from a nap that had me out cold. Why are fall semesters so hard?

Baking pies, cocktail in hand, Star Wars marathon on

I didn’t have to teach today, so I just went in to do some stuff in the lab. And I got to leave early and take a nap with my dog. I love these liminal days around the holidays

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

Hell yeah we got a little light in the darkness today

Only watching today’s eagles game now - love those 90s splatter paint hats they’re rocking on the sidelines 🔥

I had a migraine start in the middle of teaching yesterday. It’s been years since I had one and it stopped me in my tracks. Timely, I guess, for #MigraineAwarenessWeek

Wow that’s some incredible news

It was a hard week and there’s so much that’s awful, but it’s the season for one of my favorite flowers and they’re helping to push back the shadows

Editing student posters on our summer research and I despise the online version of PowerPoint 🫠

Somebody recently posted about a book an scientific writing that’s coming out in November? I thought I had saved the link but I can’t find it. Help?

Another much larger dog went after mine at the dog run today. Pinned him a couple times up against the fence I couldn’t see what was happening/get to him. Then the other owner gave me attitude because “oh mine won’t bite”. How the fuck am I supposed to know that? I hate people sometimes 🤬

I had to get a new phone and my god how I hate our interlocking system of two-factor authentication, account recovery and password reset. I have spent all day just trying to re-access stuff I use all the time

my lab needs a repeat pipetter that can dispense 1ml 12 times. (can be analog or digital). i've never had one of these- does anyone have one to recommend? (pls reski)

My (extended family) vacation is one of my favorite times of the year. And also it reaffirms how much i love being a fun aunt, full stop.

I am in dire need of case studies from higher ed instructors using flipped learning in the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, or business for the 2nd edition of my book. If this is you, or you know someone or can reach someone like this, @ me and I'll send details. 🙏

Please share with anybody who might need these services. @charliejane.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @transgenderreport.com www.them.us/story/suicid...

Current view

One of my colleagues and a union comrade was abducted at the Camarillo action yesterday. We still don't know where he is, who is holding them, or any other information about his status. If you're in the area, please reach out to the folks listed in the press release and donate to the bail fund.

It’s 82 degrees already this morning and my train isn’t running 🫠

The mural scene in Philly is excellent and would be even better with more building-sized science murals. If I had a wall like that, I would absolutely get at Sarah

I needed to take a minute from *all of it* today, and an evening in the park with my handsome pup is the cure

Q for the hive-mind 🧠: What transfection reagents do people like for big constructs these days? (I am thinking #HSV encoding BACs, ~170 kb). We've recently had poor performance with Trans-IT LT1 and Lipofectamine 2000, our two go-tos. Target cells are U2OS. Suggestions or RTs greatly appreciated 🙏

Anyone know what these are?There are two brass arrows attached to concrete about 50 ft apart in Riverside park (NYC). They’re at an angle to each other and point in opposite directions

I hope my senators are as sick of hearing from me as I am calling them

#NoKings protest in Miami, Florida

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

Ardmore, PA. #NOKINGS

#NoKings rally in Jacksonville, Florida

Philadelphia- bsky.app/profile/will...

Look at downtown LA right now

The NYC #NoKings protest is so massive that we've been on 42nd St filing into the march on 5th for an HOUR. And the cell towers are all jammed — so no photo! Thrilled that people have turned out and the vibes are HIGH ❤️🇺🇸

Feeling a lot of cognitive dissonance as I get ready for my cousin’s wedding in light of everything going on today. If you also cant be out there pushing back against fascism, consider supporting you local bail fund. Find one here: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire...

Done

I think my dog is part cat

How am I even supposed to feel about our grants office sending an email out NSF funding opportunities without any acknowledgement of the ongoing evisceration of this agency?
