Replacing my “if you care so much about historical accuracy, why aren’t you bitching about their outfits” with “yeah, I can’t believe they didn’t even try to get someone who’s half bird”.

One time I mentioned a book I was reading with a very interesting premise and someone asked for the name of it. The book turned out to be terrible and I always wonder if they did actually read it and how they must judge me for it.

Nipple confusion isn’t real and your milk can still come in if you supplement with formula. It can also **not* come in even if you don’t. And it’s 100% fine to pump (or not) if nursing hurts (I will revise my stance if someone shares a study, but there were zero studies I could find 10 years ago).

So proud of my fellow (honorary) Knox alumnus. Even with Barack Obama riding his coattails, the prairie fire burns strong.

Since the world still sucks, here’s my non-political news: there’s a growing cadre of people in Southeast Massachusetts that now know about the Copeland/Anne Rice feud. Be the change you want to see.

Ken Paxton’s hypocrisy is well-documented. He's one of the loudest proponents for requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Yet he’s famously eschewed Number 7 multiple times (thou shalt not commit adultery).

Just a reminder, Gov. Good Hair took a class entitled “meat” at A&M, and actual ranchers rely heavily on their AG extension (which is part of the gov that’s been cut).

Ok I am not asking for y’all to do a google scholar search but does anyone have/know of a recent meta review or newer studies confirming handnotes are better? We cite it like fact but it seems to me it’s one of those things we learn, repeat, but never update on. 1/3

Also if you want to talk places with viewpoint discrimination in their hiring process:

Another thing that gets missed is that between Nixon and Trump, every major party candidate released his tax returns when running for office *and* every sitting president and vice president had their taxes audited by the IRS with the results released. I wrote about this nearly a decade ago:

I’m sure most of y’all from #NOLA and Louisiana already have this information, but in case you don’t, here’s where to sign the recall Landry petitions: louisianadeservesbetter.com

This is THEFT. There is no other word for it. They are stealing almost $1.8 BILLION dollars to pay Trump‘s allies, despite knowing that these people are not legally entitled to any money and be laughed out of court if they filed a lawsuit for money damages.

Do they not realize that we are getting very close to those and the 19th being “widely settled debates”? What about “settled” things that never were or aren’t any more? Evolution, Vaccines, Germ theory? You can’t say oh that’s fringe weirdos if THEY ARE HOLDING HALF OF THE PUBLIC OFFICES.

People keep talking about how they don’t like the Boys this season but have y’all seen reality.

The path for national redemption is thru the south. Years of investing and losing turned GA; the same can happen here. LA is full of disengaged and disenfranchised ppl; there's potential here. As in GA, organizers here, mainly Black, are moving mountains; they deserve support. LA deserves support.

Hahah now he has to go back to being a doctor in a country where RFK Jr is running health policy.

The man who had an intern photoshop Mardi Gras beads on to him is wearing a tacticool shirt over a dress shirt in this picture. (Should I be over the beads? Probably but I never forget. Btw, Ted Cruz holds his fishing rod upside down and David Vitter allegedly was a big fan of pampers.)

lololololololololololololollololol. Fuck you Bill Cassidy. You could have been a backbone. You could have not destroyed everything you stood for. But instead, you wobbled, and have nothing. Go back to the Midwest with your photoshop beads.

Hey everyone: Remember as you plan your classes for next term, remember the true importance of the Declaration of Independence:

Broke: buying a a commune and baking bread Woke:

Everybody reply to this immediately, please and thank you #nolasky

I don’t know but I did have a non-binary student joke they identified as “statistically insignificant” after we discussed the issues of using nationally representative surveys to make inferences about minority populations and I know a select subset of you will find that hilarious.

Through this data, we are able to see how the current political climate has a negative impact on the youth and the barriers that LGBTQ+ youth face in receiving mental health care. Having this data handy can help nonprofits craft programming and use data to apply for grants.

There is a problem of the incomplete Reconstruction, but it’s not a Southern problem. The North allowed the southern elite to block and subvert democracy because on the whole, they didn’t care about Black civil rights, and those southern elites allowed their companies to do business dirt cheap 1/

How long until that opening scene in the latest episode of The Boys is recreated in real life?

Shit, have you seen housing prices in Cambridge? I can move to a walkable neighborhood filled with tons of amenities on Detroit housing prices? Hell I’m moving even if it means I’ll have to rely on the red line to get to work.

Golden Hour featuring Hans

The poster’s creed:

My demonstration for why you shouldn’t use AI next year is going to be arguing with the AI about something really really stupid and I will continue being wrong and having it flatter me about how smart I’m being.

I had no absolutely zero desire to go see the new Mandalorian movie but then I got an ad of Pedro Pascal talking about it in Spanish soooooo

PoliSci’s contribution to this travesty is failing to plainly say racial supremacy vs multiracial democracy defines our party system (+class, gender, religion). Higher ed credulously repeated rightwing gaslighting re: limited govt, states rights, relig liberty etc for decades. Subsidized fascists.

Ha. Now you’re stuck here with my crappy posts. *hums “he’ll save the children but not the British children”*

Oh what yall couldn’t attack blackboard huh?

I don’t want to real world anymore. Instead I’m watching people lip sync to “it’s all coming back to me now” and I want to do that instead.

Of course, millennials who were on the weirder internet know the real reason no one thinks they can take take George Washington youtu.be/sbRom1Rz8OA?...

Also, which presidents are you absolutely refusing to fight? For me, Jackson (he’s nuts) and probably John Quincy (seems like he’d bite), and FDR would probably sneak in a gun. There’s also no way on earth I’m punching Jimmy Carter, but Wilson? They’re going to have to pull me off of him

Screw it. Guess what polls y’all are analyzing next year kiddos?

In surveys, nonresponse is often treated as missing data but that overlooks a key pattern. I find when American National Election Survey respondents leave candidate evaluation prompts blank, it’s not missing data, it’s informative nonresponse. Think ghosting… not missing data! cup.org/4cUmoXi 3/

Whaaaat? Surely this might cause the course to reassess itself. It’s a good thing this has never happened before! /s

One of the things I am noticing is that many of the anti-SSRI’s and ADHD meds crowd think they are still prescribed like they were in the 90s and early 2000s and they haven’t updated their priors and assume that whatever they think the policy/research is is the truth

By popular (?) demand, I've updated (and cleaned up) my suffrage and citizenship timeline with recent events and some additional clarifications. Feedback welcome! I will make the file available on my website (christinawolbrecht.com) by COB.

It is very interesting that all these people arguing everyone was wrong on birthright citizenship are doing that instead of arguing why we should change the constitution or why we should allow the definition of invasion to be expanded so the government can take away natural rights.

It's absolutely correct to state that this move by Republicans in Baton Rouge is indeed a racist attack on Black political power in New Orleans. But some context is missing. The office being eliminated was already held by a Black man Duncan defeated. There are specific reasons Duncan was targeted

Will Smith’s carrying that alien through the desert while non stop bitching about how it was supposed to be his week off is very relatable. World’s falling apart, but can’t think about that, so do the must be done tasks and bitch about the life you lost- yup.

Showed the kiddo Mars Attacks and realized he never saw Independence Day. We ended up explaining the blockbuster and standing in line for movies, but honestly there are so many little things that just show the past really is a completely different world.

Oh my god the dude in Warwick who was walking around in the Klan outfit was interviewed and the phrases “I wish I had connections with the KKK” and his brother yelling “YOU WISH YOU HAD CONNECTIONS???” both occur in the most RI accented voices.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Stay the f out of England. It’s called “ harrowing” for a reason.

Good news! I had the VRA and gerrymandering on the syllabus today so I got to end class super early!
