Shana Tova to everyone celebrating the new year!

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Joke’s on them - I treat my migraines with a medium fry and large Coke from McDonalds.

I am DYING at Trump trying to say acetaminophen 🤣

RFK Jr is just confused because he doesn’t know acetaminophen and Tylenol are the same substance.

1) John Quincy Adams played by Bradley Cooper 2) leftovers #hatm

I have no problem with Snyder’s work, but people are treating this book like an anti-tyranny bible. The answers to meet our current moment are so much more complex than that. And they’re in the freedom struggles & histories of Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, Queer, and so many other communities.

The Statue of Liberty this week:

I need y’all to do basic fact checking. The Miss SC Teen USA’s (2007) name is Caitlin Upton.

So this is false. Part of the H-1B process is PERM with the DOL, which ensures “that the admission of foreign workers to work in the U.S. will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages and working conditions of U.S. workers.” www.dol.gov/agencies/eta...

A lot of people are also missing the students here on F-1 visas that traditionally go the path of: F-1 to H-1B to permanent residency.

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Nowhere did I say don't go to a protest. I just said don't sign up for one. And white men have lost their fucking minds in my mentions.

I chose tonight’s #HATM film because I work with both of the Cheyenne tribes. Each call Colorado home. Now that we can bookmark, you can learn more here: www.cheyenneandarapaho-nsn.gov/language-cul...

1) Loved assigning Empires, Nations, and Families when I was teaching #hatm bookshop.org/p/books/empi...

Rosa Parks moved to Detroit after the Montgomery bus boycott because she was fired from her seamstress job and blacklisted from work in the city

I can't do real reviews of books by friends, but I also wanna promote their awesome stuff. So here's my thoughts on Becky Siegel Spratford's essay collection Why I Love Horror: Essays on Horror Literature. Horror fans, def check this out. Out 9/23 from Saga Press bookjockeyalex.com/2025/09/12/n...

Having to replace my hair dryer from high school because I’m pretty sure it’s about to burn my house down. RIP girl, I wouldn’t have made it through my 20s without you 🫡

Watching the Bernie Madoff Netflix show and suddenly my brain was like “OMG remember Enron?!”

as noted in the @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on his book, TCW has no theory of mind for the right and does not regard them as individual actors with agency. the right is merely a reactive force responding at all times to progressive excess

If you have never seen a full-blown fight break out in the footnotes of books…omg. Delightful.

1) Star Trek: First Contact 2) leftovers #hatm

Haven't seen bsky talking about that sparkling Italian racism interview with Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri, but it is sending me. The perfect distillation of anti-Black racism in Europe.

Santa’s gonna be pissed

@phdrachel.bsky.social can attest to the fact that I am rarely overcome by any emotion at all. But I have rarely felt so dejected as when I stood in front of *rows and rows and rows* of 1918 flu graves and then realized we were also in a segregated graveyard.

A school district that ran me out of their schools because they didn’t like my books has emailed me to ask if I could update the dual credit supplies box (which I was once in charge of). Lololol gtf outta here.

Narrator: That is not in fact a legal authority.

Sitting in a paralegal class where the professor doesn’t know what Chevron is like omg.

Watching this presidential Q&A without sound is a real treat because all I’m getting are JD Vance’s decontextualized facial expressions.

#OtD 1 Sep 1974 Puerto Rican attendees at a Labour Day event in Newark, New Jersey rioted against police after years of brutality, as well as poor living and economic standards. The police department mobilized virtually its entire 1,500-member force stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8161...

I just wanna say that the pitch meeting for this film must have been wild. #hatm

If you’re gathering with family and friends this Labor Day weekend and making some last-minute purchases, thank the workers and buy union-made! ✊

Last minute adjunct work in the East MA area? The feedback I got this year on US job apps is that I don't have US teaching experience (despite my HEA recognized excellence for years of UK teaching & prof development). If anyone has any leads for just something to help my CV, please let me know! 🗃️

Thanks to y’all’s amazing support, these supplies are going to work with me tomorrow to help build hygiene care bags!

My work is making hygiene care bags for refugee families settling in our city! If you’d like to help us with the supplies to put them together, I’ve made a wish list here: www.walmart.com/lists/wishli...

I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Today was my last day as an educator. My heart is sad that I’m not sad.

After watching Jurassic Park last night, my husband and I have spent the last 24 hours debating ways that are more or less bad to die than being eaten by a dinosaur.

When I was in 4th grade, we read Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows back-to-back. Both were “age appropriate” for that level, but when we got to the end of the second book, I threw my copy at my teacher because wth. And thus began my career as the world’s most obnoxious student.

1) I LOVE the Lion King. 2) leftovers #hatm

Is it silly to buy Tupperware specifically for the leftovers that I know we’re going to leave in the fridge for a respectful number of days and then toss?

It’s a good thing that thousands of HS students are running around with their trusty pocket editions 🤣

Did he threaten to make a 1,000 hour docuseries of the Epstein files set to yacht rock?

Trump saying people of color are naturally suited to farm labor sure sounds a lot like the slaveholders that said slaves were naturally inclined to servitude

Do not get on this internet on the 20th anniversary of Katrina and rehabilitate George Bush I swear to god.

Only if I go there but like 4 other people don’t.
