Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. «Know your risks, then control for those risks.» You think they listen? No. 😭

“When I was out at sea, I saw a young lady sitting on a rock, and she told me in a singing voice that the function of prayer was not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.” “Ah, seems like you’ve encountered the mystical Siren Kierkegaard.”

I think that's how I fell so hard into reading Diane Duane and Tanya Huff because so much of the sci fi was written by creeps for creeps

The war on women is real. “Elon Musk wrote ‘True words’ in response to a Feb 3 post stating that “in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make women sad :(“ x.com/elonmusk/sta... 1/

Today's mood: A woo woo woo.

How to make friends as an adult. Njaaaaa, skeptisk. www.nytimes.com/article/how-... #GiftArticle

And so it does!

If you're feeling the weight of the world, it's OK to take the night off.

Me, too, Pusheen.

Fucking billionaires.

Today gets negative stars. Do not recommend. Avoid.

Ewww grossssssss

I'd trade just about anything for a giant apple fritter right now. Norway's great and all but...

DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors. We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.

What gives you hope in these awful times? I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.

straight up Gestapo shit

Wanna feel old? It's been 50 years since January 1 2026

I love MN

Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

I hate the words impactful, alignment, and clarity.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I always get indignant when that 6 minute physical therapy exercise removes months of discomfort.

Welcome to the "I told you so" week, where, everything I predicted happened. I need a shirt. Or a mug. Folks, please listen to your resident neurodivergent person. Many of us have high pattern recognition, which means that we are the canaries in the cold mine.

The J in Jenn is for «I'm on fire, keep clear of me»!

Looks like today will be an early day. Awake at 2am after a long dream about improving the efficiency of mining. I don't actually know anything about mining, so that was weird.

We've made our 3D scans of these Drimolen postcranial specimens available in the online archive at The Human Fossil Record. Hopefully access to these fossils contributes well to other studies of early hominin postcranial anatomy & variation. Meanwhile, fieldwork & analysis at Drimolen continue. 9/

From one of my customers citing the weirdest incentive trip he had ever heard of. I think he is right. It's hard to imagine the thought process that culminated in this event. Oldie but a...goodie? www.theguardian.com/world/2011/m...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Look if Minnesota is the hub then it's a Purple Revolution.

Damn proud of Minnesota.

A line from a Veteran’s Day speech last year has stuck with me, and it’s worth sharing: “When civilization is at its worst, that is when we must be at our best.” Civilization is made up of individuals. However small, our actions make a difference. Every interaction, every day.

The rightwing response to the murder of Alex Pretti is predictable: to outshout and talk over anyone taking another position. The shrillness on Twitter is especially grating, but again, not surprising. It's Orwell's doublespeak. If the man had a cell phone instead of a gun, yell louder.

Turned on morning news to hear a local official somewhere say “our people can’t be out on the road to do what they need because of all the ice on the roads” and am not sure if this is a weather quote or a federal government overreach quote.

Astronomer here- for anyone in Oregon, I’m speaking at the Eugene Universe on Tap tomorrow! (Jan 26) gonna talk about exploding stars, should be fun! 🔭🧪🎢

This is where we are. Trump’s goons tackled and murdered a guy (who was a Boy Scout as a child) when he was helping a woman they had pepper sprayed knocked to the ground. And Trump’s team is lying about it. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

I'm a political science professor and over the last two days, I've gotten more concerns from white people about my disinterest in cats than about the state of politics in the US. Sit with that.

ICE is what happens when they take off the hoods and sheets and put on SWAT gear and rifles.

I'm ready for the fascists to lose, I'm not at all excited for how many people they hurt before they do, but I'm taking a sick glee in how awfully they've chosen the hills they're going to die on. Minnesota? Maine? In JANUARY? Be goddamn serious.
