Staying home with sick kiddos ain't great, but it's almost worth it to hear the 4yo giving snippy answers to Handyman Hal on TV

I am going to take a massive swing here and say that anyone who rolls off the Harvard Law conveyor belt is not perfect at all and is categorically unfit for public office

This isn't the point of this thread, which is a great one, but— AAA managed to get my name wrong in their system by mixing up my given and family names. And this is despite them reading the information off my driver's license! It is extremely easy for ignorance to lead to bureaucratic fuck-ups

I wrote my 20 page undergrad thesis the night before it was due. I finished the conference version I had to present while sitting in the audience waiting for my turn. I was completely winging it for the Q&A portion—I hadn't even had time to print out a copy of my own paper I got an A and my degree

I think @angryblacklady.blacksky.app is absolutely right about this: white people aren't really surprised about all the fascism, they're just performing ignorance to avoid taking responsibility and doing what they need to in order to fight this

I feel genuinely bad for bookstores and libraries (me) when unhinged people come in to huff the books

Hey planetary science PhD graduaters: I know thinking about applying to postdocs this year seems daunting, so I am here to remind you that we have some REALLY GOOD prize fellowship at Caltech. Come work with me. Or Katherine. Or Heather. Or Konstantin. Or someone. Seriously. These are good. 🔭🪐

Hey @bsky.app I can't help but notice every time I post a skeet that has a curse word in it my app gets force-closed and I have to log back in Is this some kind of negative pressure situation or what

Yes, we're quite serious. Lift a glass in memory, and thanks.

I have a new Star Wars RPG character idea

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

Looking forward to supporting the primary challengers for both of my senators, Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, and my district's House representative, Lori Trahan A shameful showing from once decent people. We have no more leaders

I actually met Jimmy Kimmel, he opened for a Guster concert I went to and was doing publicity for his new show (that just got canceled) He shook my hand and said he was pleased to meet a fellow Jimmy in the crowd I figured his show wouldn't last. I was just 18 years too early

I'm going to be optimistic and say, it takes a moment to suck in a breath before you rip a motherfucker to shreds

Rebellion against tyranny and aspiring to a better tomorrow are the core messages in Star Wars and Star Trek I believe in those ideas too much to continue to support Disney and Paramount as they kneel to kiss the rings of authoritarians and fascists

Alright I have something useful for you to do. Think of any teachers and librarians you know. Do they know about Skype a scientist? Our program matches classrooms & other groups w/scientists for virtual Q&As. It’s free! They can sign up here! www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html #Edusky #StemED

I can't believe we're here again, but to reiterate: If someone is opposed to *anti*fascism, what does that make them?

Am I a 36-year-old man? Yes Do I still pretend the TV remote is a phaser? Also yes

What.

It's okay not to let shitty people in your tent. You can say "we need to build a big coalition" but then put a giant asterisk next to it and add "but not these fucking guys" The shitty people need to stay out in the rain and think about what they've done

Proud of my old home state ✊ Massachusetts, time to step it up

Hang on— I only majored in Classics in undergrad, so I'm not surprised I missed a few historical details Maybe this guy can enlighten me how Leonidas's beard won the Battle at Thermopylae for the Spartans, because I think I have lecture notes that must be mistaken

I think the lack of mainstream media attention to the current question is the most encouraging part Is Christmas coming early this year?

They didn't attempt a violent coup because of the left. They aren't destroying US science & academia because of the left. They're not embracing open racism & nazi ideology because of the left. They are adults, making choices, doing things of their own volition, and they bear the responsibility.

Beautiful essay and a reminder about the thin and fragile importance of recognizing each other's humanity

Asked my wife to pick up my copy of LESSONS IN MAGIC AND DISASTER by @charliejane.bsky.social and her first words when she got home were, "This book is mine now" 😆
