Yes, please, help my students harness the power of the psychosis inducing, art stealing, environment destroying child pornography machine. /s

This feels like an excellent excuse to buy new gel pens.

I would hire a household staff: personal chef, cleaning service, and a personal assistant to make appointments for me.

time to make some disrespectful ass phone calls to your congressional reps

I get claustrophobic in airplanes. I am not built for space flight.

Few are brave enough to acknowledge the truth.

This weekend and always, NO LILIES FOR KITTIES. www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

I'd like to introduce you to Panulirus ornatus, the ornate rock lobster. They're native to the Indo-Pacific, with a large range centered on New Guinea & the Great Barrier Reef near Australia. They're a member of family Palinuridae, the spiny or rock lobsters. So why so colorful?

My favorite sign from the Long Beach #NoKings protest today.

This book sounds rad and I will be ordering a copy for the little free book cart. @stephcherrywell.com

Happy St Patrick's Day.

Happy Mothra’s Day to all who celebrate #art #Kaiju

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.

Added some fun LGBTQ+ books to the free book cart outside my office.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025. Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

I don't think it is only our job to teach students how to read long novels; it may also be our jobs to teach them how to live without an online surveillance state. To learn without intrusive apps. To swap notes. To write in a book's margins. To exist in their communities in slow, clunky, human ways.

The morning so far

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "LGBTQ children's books ≠ teaching kids about sex."

Turns out I have a ton of favorite songs w/ absurdly long titles: Radiohead "Where I End & You Begin" STP "Trippin on a Hole in a Paper Heart" Caroline Polacheck "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings" Death Cab "I Will Follow You into the Dark" Nirvana "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle"

I should not have read this thread, b/c now I have ALL of the worst songs stuck in my head. My personal contribution to the list is Smashing Pumpkins' 1979. Absolutely the most tediously bland song I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.

Timeline cleanse ❄️

I AM ON FIRE; KEEP CLEAR OF ME.

Hey cuties. You need a valentine set right now, I can tell. It's only $20. You get 20 of them, 4 designs, & each one has a little fact inside. I need a little more cashflow into Skype a Scientist to do the amount of shit I want to do this year. These valentines are a good start! SquidFacts.net

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

Me, the week before the new semester starts:

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord. You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...?

Important info for teachers.

they'll kill you when you tell them you're not mad they'll kill you when you tell them you're furious might as well be furious

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

Welcome to 2026. 🥳😮‍💨

All hail the New Year's Pigeon!

We're trying to get to 50% of our goal for Black Zine Fair by tomorrow at midnight. Donations are tax deductible. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

I saw a tiktok that said: "You deserve a break. Stop healing. Crash Out. Choose Violence. Do. It. For. The. Plot" And i feel like this is the energy we should enter 2026 with

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

I would like to thank the pope for giving me so much ammunition to use against my Catholic MAGA relatives.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Don’t fuck with archivists. They are librarians with sociopathic tendencies.

One of my favorite parts of law school was getting to read the ridiculous things people did with consumer products that required companies to add really specific warning labels to their products.

Holy shit. In law school I wrote a paper arguing that we should bring back privateering as part of the war on drugs. I was not at all serious and just wanted an excuse to research and write about pirates. And now they've actually done it.

Blocking trans kids from care is evil. Its not 'caring'. Its not 'being a concerned parent'. Its evil. Its staring someone who is telling your their truth in the eye and saying truth means nothing, and your ignorance means more. Trans kids want to live. Deny them, and you want the opposite.

Goodnight.

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through
