i can’t believe Endnote is as bad as it is for how much it costs. wdym I paid $125 only to have it take 3 minutes to insert a citation

you know what gets old? talking about writing for work and people recommending i try AI instead 😑

take my class called “Advanced Procrastination for Professionals”

turns out the way to make yourself do something stressful is to find something else that’s *even more* stressful

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

still big mad that AI has maligned the sparkle magic emoji 😒✨

Congratulations to the people of Hungary. Your victory is a massive defeat for fascism. The world thanks you.

all the subconscious wants is infinite cake

just realized put my stroopwafel on my teacup bc that’s what the Danes do and discovered it MELTS THE CARAMEL 🤯 once again the Dutch are correct

had a dream about having a trunk full of cake, and every time we emptied the trunk somehow there was more cake 😌

me being excited about data: check out my curves him: baby i’ll always check out your curves 😏😏 me: … me: i walked right into that didn’t i

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Science is good. We should fund it.

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

"this seems like a legitimate misunderstanding"

when i think about "peak" Twitter, I think of this post

got a much needed long laugh from this

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

More science, more art, more humanity, less war.

having guests over for the night and am leaving all my smutty novels on the shelves 🫡

Running out my front door tonight in North Pole, Alaska to see one of the best auroras of the year... unreal!

8. I know. There's a lot to keep track of right now with so much going on in the world. So if you’re an eligible voter who can use a guide to help you register, I’ll keep it simple: Start by going to npr.org/vote.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

NEW WINTERNIGHT TRILOGY PAPERBACKS WITH AFTERBLOSSOM ART OMFG

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Made it to Friday but at what cost

your moment of calm: sea potatoes! potatoes of the sea!

may i offer you some shrews in these trying times

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge. They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership. We do not have serious people running our country.

this article describes the structural exploitation of the workers who make the internet “safe”— snippets below where it hits the nail on the head thinking about how this persists because the mental trauma is invisible. you can’t point to missing limbs or cancer or some physical harm to prove damage

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Here’s last night’s story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John won’t be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI

It’s very important to me to post on the Influential Posting Site. The verified sociopaths in my mentions are all Hannibal and I’m Will Graham expertly dissecting their psychology and maybe falling in love with them. This is real, and serious, unlike the losers who say “Isn’t that guy a cannibal?”

I don't want to hear how powerless you are. I want to hear about how you are turning over every last statute to find every piece of power you have and leveraging it to flip the tables. That is what ordinary Americans are doing every day: using whistles and love to try to help their neighbors.
