Last year, dumped in Liberty State Park. This year, snug as a bug in a cardboard camper with a belly full of lettuce, hay and treats. Happy New Year, Ellie. 🥳

Here’s from our family to yours in the new year 🥂

a north carolina county fired its entire library board for keeping a kids book about a trans boy. retaliation isnt parental rights. its control. seriously how is this okay?

I love how in “December,” the Earth Wind and Fire Christmas song, they change it to “the 25th night of December” but then proceed to change no other lyrics from “September” to make it about Christmas. youtu.be/CjCWhwdnCd0?...

Really missed an opportunity to change my pfp to Gonzo as Charles Dickens this holiday season, huh

James Merril’s poem “Christmas Tree,” written while he was dying of AIDS. 1995.

#Fiction from our first issue, Taking A Stand: Lina’s Story by @oagennaro.bsky.social covers an all-too-frequent reality for our kids. I love the use of strike through text to follow Lina’s thought process as she writes her letter. epistemiclit.com/nimblewitlit...

Today is the first day I’m going to leave the house/parking lot since Christmas Eve

Izolde is a wonderful human being whom I can personally vouch for. She's working on getting a job as well as cheaper housing, but December is a rough time to be trying to figure this stuff out. If you can spare a few bucks, that would be much appreciated.

Forgot that White Christmas essentially has a drag lip sync

Listen as a queer pushing 30 who is literally getting married to a lesbian I just wanna say to the youth that romance is not the be all end all of queer representation.

I would LOVE something like this I could use in the classroom!!

I haven’t read it yet, but I just want to share that my dad has an upcoming college textbook of dialogues that deal with current issues with AI like deepfakes and ChatGPT!! So if you’re a professor you might be interested in using it! www.routledge.com/Dialogues-on...

If you would like to help me gift my fiancée aka author Taylor Tracy a Christmas gift, please DM me!

I am so angry about AI today

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

How, I really do wonder, do you "do science" without actually reading the existing scholarship? What has really struck me since the gAI boom is how many people have such a profound contempt for the act of reading--or at the least seem not to understand that reading is thinking.

Totally sucks. You can go settings > apps > safari > [change tabs to “bottom” instead of compact] and it reverts to how it was

It drives me nuts!!!

My brother graduated college ☺️

Since it's Dick van Dyke's 100th birthday, how about this for a song of the day? youtu.be/L_l2ii_25tc

Football teams my fiancée and I just learned existed: —The Arizona Cardinals —The Tennessee Titans

Sandy’s newsletter is very nice. Subscribe!

I’m glad IU football is doing amazing, but the school is really struggling on the academic side and that makes me sad, as a liberal arts and education graduate!!!

Seeing a local production of Into the Woods tonight!

I've become deeply radicalized against gambling. It's just getting more evil the longer it's allowed to fester unregulated

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Wild time for HBO to raise their subscription prices.
