On the one hand, this is incredibly silly. On the other, I really sort of love how incredibly silly it is.

Be the Mothman you wish to see in the world

Finished my first clasped weft project. I think the technique has some cool potential opportunities.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

My lunch companions are delightful.

This is an appalling collection of simply unhinged and hateful responses from public individuals dead set on blaming the Left for Mr Kirk’s murder. It’s excellent reporting given the very short turnaround time, but maybe don’t read if you’re feeling sensitive or fearful for your safety.

Wow, that’s sobering

IT LIIIIIIIIIVES!

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Post something from your camera roll that comes up when you search “yellow car.” No yellow cars, but there was this photo of my mother and her childhood friend in a fancy car in Cuba. I’m so glad she got tot ravel so much during her life.

In what universe is two world leaders shaking hands upon meeting “breaking news,” BBC? Do better.

Seeing this again and thinking of all the MAGA men whining that they're afraid to walk down the street.

Finished the new scarf. Mailing it off to its new owner this weekend

Working on another houndstooth scarf, this one for an old friend from middle school who loves purple and green.

Reading through a license last week and my brain stumbled over the “we’ll remove publications deemed unlawful” section. Uh, we’re gonna need a heads up before you do that, massive publisher.

Researchers have registered more than 120 clinical trials to date evaluating the potential of mRNA-based approaches for treating many types of cancer, including lung, breast, and prostate, pancreatic, and brain tumors.

Hey library land, one of our most highly cited scholars really needs some help. Donate if you can, repost if you’re willing to spread the word.

I can’t even

“The public can now search internal affairs documents and other police-misconduct records from nearly 700 California law enforcement agencies through a database created by UC Berkeley and Stanford University.”

Hey #TenureTrackLibrarian: We’re studying the tenure experiences of academic librarians who are currently on the tenure track or have been recently tenured within the last 5 years. Is that you?. Go to bit.ly/tenuretracke...

Oh hey fuck this entirely. If LinkedIn is going to actively start removing hate speech protections for trans people, it might be time to start petitioning certain groups to make their feelings known to LinkedIn, at scale

Hi everyone, As part of my dissertation, I am researching audiobook narration. If you have listened to an audiobook within the last two years, or have previously been a frequent audiobook user, I would really appreciate your thoughts! You can find the survey here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Can’t pay your student loans back? Maybe you’re not kidnapping enough dads.

First off, I am safe and evacuated. Second, yes, there is some kind of threat on my campus. Police are everywhere and it’s weirdly calm. We have excellent safety and first responder personnel.

BBC: Why don't women use ChatGPT? Woman: I tried it and it just barfed out useless garbage BBC: Women don't use ChatGPT because it's too difficult for their pretty little heads

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

How long will South Park, whose creators just signed a 50-episode deal with Paramount, last under Trump’s regime? Let’s hope the company's new "bias monitor" finds Trump jokes funny.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Anyway, humanities profs to science profs.

Hey who do I know (or not know yet) who works in a public library with a primary focus on instruction? I am trying to organize a zoom panel for my fall LIS course so students can hear perspectives beyond academic librarianship. HMU.

Academic rigour is when I put a mortarboard on my roomba and ask it about market trends

Tell folks you appreciated their loved one that passed. It makes the grief less lonely, particularly years later when it becomes easy to think you’re the only one who remembers them. It will not make us sad, or at least not in a bad way.

A friend randomly texted me today to let me know she & her neighbors were talking about a lecture my mom gave their neighborhood association 5 years ago & how it was one of the best meetings they ever had. My friend almost didn’t tell me in case talking about my mom, who passed in 2022, made me sad.

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Absolutely fabulous time at tonight’s #Dimension20 event in Seattle. Great vibe, great people, & a great game. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this most excellent evening! Absolutely a significant highlight of my year so far.

Ahhhh! It’s finally here! Seated and ready to watch #Dimension20 live here in Seattle! Remember, #CaringRules & #HootGrowl!
