Bluesky going to work over on Twitter

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

In this thread, I'll be officially speaking for MASU as we unveil our economic impact study (got the ex cathedra chair out 🪑)

I was just going to watch one episode of Heated Rivalry this evening... but that was 3 episodes ago

Today is the first day of the new semester. I'm grateful for the long break, but why does everyone think we're going to hit the ground running on day one? Who scheduled all of these meetings? I need a minute. My plants haven't been watered since 2025.

"Do our helping agencies view people in crisis in Ypsilanti as more dangerous than Ann Arbor? We need to take a hard look at patterns in our community mental health services and learn where we are failing and need to do things differently." whatsleftypsi.com/2026/crisis-...

“God damn them all.”

Listen, it's not that I don't want to read your reskeets and clever quips and think pieces and retrospectives on the five year anniversary of the insurrection... it's just that... okay, I don't want to read them.

Sounds like a hotel employee may have used the power they had available to them to push back against ICE kidnappings. I'm sure Hilton has some sort of corporate policy about canceling room reservations used for illegal activities... I hope said employee finds a nice pro bono attorney.

i realllllly want to stress that this change is most likely going to be stopped in court, and quickly. but the confusion rfk jr. is spreading is also part of the project. that’s long term damage

Grr... it's been 6 days and I'm still covid-y. I'm very bored and very tired and very determined not to take anyone else down with me. It's hard to have public health convictions in RFK's America. I've got to be honest, I'm really going to need one of you all to tell me I got an "A" in quarantine.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Al8ce in Chains.

Saving for my next research methods class...

Damn. It finally got me.

Merry Christmas internet!

And I'm out of tape... what kind of Christmas rookie bs is this?

LANSING, MICHIGAN acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-... This is my home state.

A reminder: Here’s examples of how much net premiums for the benchmark Silver ACA plan will increase for typical households in all 50 states: acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

New boss has a very common name (I know, I know... pot/kettle) and comes from a school with a common initialism. Less of a "what's the tea?" situation and more of a "no, but, like where is the tea?"

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

This book is too expensive... This book is too generic and not relevant to our discipline... This book is too old and unlikely to get another edition... Apparently I'm now starring in Goldilocks and the curriculum revision.

Why didn't anyone tell me Netflix has a new K-drama "about a woman obsessed with potatoes swept away by a principled man like a tornado potato"? This speaks to basically all of my interests.

For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss: It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!! www.burnsnotice.com/that-viral-e...

The Buckeyes walking away with just 3 after eleventy million snaps on that drive is compelling evidence that God exists and he doesn't like Ohio either.

Niblings are great. The little one mashed the potatoes and the big one plated the whipped ricotta crostinis way better than I could.

This is the type of hater energy that will fuel us in the years ahead.

Watched a video this morning of a woman using a (new, clean) caulk gun to squirt Velveeta cheese into her Bugles. Watched another showing a woman turning shed cicada exoskeletons into fairy lights for her plants. Couldn't help but think, AI could never...

always repost stormwater management

Yesterday's respite from the terrible terribleness: a delightful evening baking pavlovas with my niblings. The big one is in charge of the nuance of egg white peaks. The little one is in charge of food coloring and edible glitter. And my sister is in charge of the aftermath in her kitchen.

I'd like to take a moment to apologize to any of my former English teachers. If I ever looked exasperated because it seemed like you spent too much time on the importance of tone, I'm sorry. Clearly, it is never enough.

Does this mean that I'm still eligible for the public health Olympics? #notanamateur

I no longer want the confidence of a mediocre white man. Now, I want the audacity of the person sending fundraising emails for the Democratic National Committee today.

this.

Nah man, this ain't it.

Not sure what hashtag or starter pack led to my new followers this week, but hello! Sorry if my feed proves disappointingly quiet... Our faculty union has advised us not to go around poking bears, and I have very limited self control when I scroll through BlueSky with my bear-poking stick

This afternoon, I chose to honor Dick Cheney's role in shaping my radical leftist politics by voting to increase my own taxes. Given how many races have already been called for the Dems, it's nice to see so many Americans chose to honor his memory in a similar fashion.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

Hey @digdoug.bsky.social ...my Muppet-loving brother-in-law has a milestone birthday this year. Can you let me know if you see any particularly great collectibles or merch (after you've bought your own, obv)

Right right... the world is terrible... everything about pitting the needs of middle class Americans who need the ACA credits to afford health insurance against the needs of working class Americans who need SNAP benefits to afford groceries is gross. And I hate it here.

Public servants do just that, serve the public. It’s in our character. Thank you, furloughed Feds, for continuing to give back.

LOL. Who signed me up for the Turning Point USA mailing list? That does not seem like a very efficient use of their resources.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The revolution will be inflatable..

I should be grading... but since I can't, I may as well skim through all the good AWS jokes...

I am comfortable with closing the banks and post offices once a year to give people a chance to rewatch The Goonies. (But as it is also Indigenous Peoples Day, we should probably read some history and spend some money before we make the popcorn)

The death of the premature baby born after their mother contracted measles highlights the danger of more and more people refusing vaccines. An individual is contagious 4 days before the rash appears. Imagine a child with measles at a daycare full of babies too young to be vaccinated.

Good morning (?) -- To our fed family: whether you’re stuck working unpaid or sidelined from lifesaving public health work, wondering if rent gets paid or a pink slip arrives courtesy of nightmare-human Russell Vought, we see you and we're here with you. 💚

Ope. Did the federal website managers not have to take Hatch Act training during onboarding?

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.
