Someone in Atlanta, please rescue this gorgeous quilt top (and quilt it) before someone buys it to cut it up for a boxy jacket that will be worn for like 1 year before going "out of style"?

It boggles my mind that the anti-choice protesters on campus, who claim to be the true believers in their cause, use patently fake images to advance their advocacy. If you really believed in your cause, why would feel the need to lie to people to convince them?

DO YOU FEEL STRESS THESE DAYS? (eye twitching, softly)

My favorite color is Fall.

I fear I can no longer avoid the corporeal horror that is taking actual headshots for professional purposes. Any suggestions?

Trying really hard not to think about how being the cool, hip, and with-it candidate is so much easier if you’re a dude… …becuase it makes me BigSad.

3rd grader needs to study for a map quiz? Sounds like we all get to learn the 50 states!

I mean, I do try my best. But I can't do it alone.

I’m literally out here begging social scientists to get interested in *talking to people* again.

Making housing more affordable on day 1. This guy has got the juice.

Currently recruiting friends to drive 2 hours each way to rural Eastern Tennessee to pick up a GORGEOUS piece of furniture from facebook marketplace that I cannot guarantee will fit in any vehicle that I currently have access to, and for which I have no place in my home. Serious inquiries only.

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election. DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg. His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority. www.mississippifreepress.org/democrat-joh...

Mike Johnson tomorrow, asked about Mamdani’s win: “Oh, I just found out about it when I walked in. I was on the moon last night. With my friend Steve.”

Is it totally ridiculous as an adult human being to take piano lessons?

The fact that I just thought to myself: "let me take a *quick break* and get through these emails" about my WORK email, for my JOB, in my OFFICE is bleak.

Ask me again why I do not want to teach Median Voter Theory to my students.

Update. There are now 14 times as many signatures on this petition that is 6 days old than there are "Afrikaner refugees." So... Like...

I voted. Did you?

Dick Cheney never finished his PhD.

I say again: do you even know what you have to do to get people from *Skokie* this riled up? They are like the committee from The Good Place. It’s just wall-to-wall vests and travel coffee mugs up there.

But, but…his auto pen.

Time stamp: 1:37 PM. Word Count: 5344 (no bibliography) Time to depart: 3:35 PM. Let's. Go.

The number of reasons that I do NOT want to teach Median Voter Theory today is more numerous than Belgian political parties.

I’m not here for your evangelical zeal, whether it is for leftist politics or religion, if the primary sense I get is that you actually hate people.

I'm really glad that I have an actual PhD, so as to avoid the humiliation of listing an honorary doctorate as an *actual* job qualification.

Riddle: When NSA/Sec of State wants to invade Venezuela, and SecDef wants to invade Nigeria…who wins? Answer: literally everyone loses.

The question I have is whether these evangelical rabble rousers can even find Nigeria on a map…

Do you even know what you have to do to make people in *Evanston* angry like this? It’s *Evanston*

Not even going to lie, this may be my best achievement of the season.

I was walking around with my “Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders” tote bag today on campus, and I got asked about it. Them: “fellowship for young African leaders?” Me: “yes! From this past summer.” Them: (long pause) “but you’re…” Me: (…) Them: “you’re not from…”

@carolyneholmes.bsky.social wrote a piece on this topic here: goodauthority.org/news/trump-w... What are your thoughts on the slashed refugee resettlement numbers?

I, for one, was unaware that there were betting markets for predicting wars. Gotta say, gamification of LITERALLY EVERYTHING doesn't feel great.

I was unaware that Trump was running for Mayor of New York.

There are 4 times more signatories to this 24-hour-old petition than there are "refugees". www.afrikanersvirsa.co.za/en "We are not pawns in America’s culture wars. We are South Africans, part of a diverse, evolving nation still grappling with its past and striving toward a more just future...."

Cuba, out here absolutely smoking Walz.

imagine thinking you're frodo/sam/pippin/merry et al, when you're like *at best* gollum...

Here’s one of the only things I feel like I can concretely say after 10 years of teaching: Students don’t mind rigor or difficulty. They grumble, but they get it. What they really don’t like is you being a jerkface about it.

I’m not even joking, guys. The key to this whole thing is getting into the 🌾weeds🌾 on zoning/oversight/historical preservation/donations/code enforcement. The details.

To Whom it May Concern: I am writing to apply for the position of information briefing officer to Speaker Johnson. I excel at being paid to do literally nothing. I am willing and able to be paid to do nothing, all day and every day. Attached are my CV and references. Yours sincerely, ceh.
