I read Casey Means' book last year and wrote about her "salvation through orthorexia" ideology so you don't have to. This woman being Surgeon General will entail enormous amounts of harm buttondown.com/theswordandt...

RE: https://mastodon.online/@globalmuseum/116121662788372957 I need to pull out one of these every time someone says, "I don't need the mic! You can all hear me, right?"

#bostonweekend 15/x As usual, I do this thread to build community on the fediverse, and its just here, every week, a little of my time, no ads or funding, sharing what I find. This is my small way of connecting the caring, clever folks on the fediverse with each other and the local cultural […]

Good for Foxboro! "[T]he Boston 26 host committee representative said they are waiting on the federal government to hand out the money." And Foxboro rightly wants to see that upfront […]

I watched this for a class and he is so right in that you cannot predict what the future of education will be. In 2006 you absolutely "needed" a degree for everything. Now I have to justify to HR why a degree is needed when I post a job (and it's not needed and not required for our last FT […]

Sitting on the train and the one meeting I'm going in the office for sends a cancellation.

I played this for @doctormo who hadn't heard it yet. I hadn't realized how long this has been out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD_eZg70Ms0

Some nice person let Remy the Humanities Cat in this morning. He usually just passes by on his way to the humanities building but with all this snow he's probably looking for warmer paths.

RE: https://universeodon.com/@digyoursoul/116042046454269655 I'm close to finishing my second one and one LYS mentioned the shortage of red in their newsletter. It's a really good stash knit though as it only takes about a skein. And the money raised keeps going up!

Cat just went from nap to throwing catnip toys around within the first minute of playing Locomotive Breath. Cat likes Tull, I guess.

It sounds like all the blue jays in the neighborhood are having a tree-to-tree conference call. Probably a trunk line. #dadjoke

3 million pages in the Epstein files and not a single drag queen? Interesting.

every morning, get out of bed, look in the mirror, and say "today could be the day" i guarantee this affirmation will work ...if you give it time

Guess who went to the eye doctor today

Wrth gwrs #dysgucymraeg

Snow is picking up. And I'm gathering what I need for a roast dinner. #Snowmageddon

While having the mini splits at the ceiling is great for cooling, we do rely on ceiling fans downstairs to get the heat down to our level. The cats, however have found the best spot across from the unit in the dining room.

Snow day for the kid on Monday!

DO YOU HAVE PAPERS is the question for them, motherfuckers

Coprolites aren't my favorite fossil but they're a solid number two. #dadjokes #paleontology

My sweet child got me studio time at a local craft and gift shop. I really wanted to do block printing so here is my block and test print. I have carved more out and it needs to be inked properly, but you get the idea.

Ed Markey and Ayanna Presley, calling for an end to qualified immunity! #uspol https://www.westernmassnews.com/2026/01/14/massachusetts-lawmakers-call-end-qualified-immunity/

I'm taking a graduate class in the evenings this semester and I now understand why our students ignore our emails. I have received SO MANY emails! And I'm not even in a degree program!

@Luna_vio has created a citrus float at brunch with blood orange soda and lemon sorbet.

Went to downtown Boston to hang out with a friend last night and got to see some of the art up #winteractive

Cut and tried to color my hair today. The dye is going to need some bleach I think to really show. Even with heat and keeping it on 4 times as long as called for only gave pale results.

We deserve a world of pickle cars, not this. We all must show up until there are gold bugs of liberation in the street. Brilliant, by @rubenbolling.bsky.social

All of the laundry has been folded. The kitchen towels and apron that went in the wash are just a bonus.

I wish I could quote toot on @Tusky because then I would say Franken-rocket was the doctor! https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115867886011184246

I had heard that Cambridge, MA had the best quality water, but I'm going to agree here on taste. When I make tea at work it always tastes off, but at home it's delicious. And obviously this is municipal water. The best tasting water I've ever had came from my aunt's well […]

Well, glad I made my MRI appointment for morning on Wednesday because I apparently had an eye appointment scheduled for afternoon and forgot to put it on my calendar! I would like my robot body now, please.

I think I should go to more bear bars. Good beer selection, half the TVs are on sports and the other half on movies (currently The Martian) and of so much plaid flannel

Occasional pets are now allowed as long as I don't try to move and shift anything

Happy anniversary, @doctormo

It's 34 degrees F (1 C) and I am gushing sweat. I dressed for the 24 degrees it was when I was going to the pharmacy but it warmed up enough to get some walking in. I was not dressed for anything but public transportation.

I think I just freaked out a Gen Z young woman telling her how we all (Gen X) assumed we would die in a nuclear war.

I know a few people on here as well as myself will FEEL this cartoon.

I don't think I ever posted this, here's the video of me at #sfscon talking about why I built Tŵt and how others can use the Fediverse to support minority and endangered languages. 14 quick minutes, it happened to fall on #defaidodonday so there are some sheep involved […]
