spending the weekend making jam without patience fruit rose to the top I don't really care. The raspberries and strawberries will still taste divine in mid-winter. But still, a resolution for next summer: Patience. For better looking jam.

I often teach Pauline Hopkins’s work. Her novels have recently been republished by @broadviewpress.bsky.social so hopefully they will reach even wider audiences. She also wrote a ghost story!

Please take a moment to appreciate this very, very small water sausage.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

"So if the media were going to put their thumb on the scale... they ought to have done so in defense of democracy, the rule of law and human decency. The failure to do so is playing out in our shattered world, and at a frightening pace."

Dear hivemind: interested in any accounts/scholarship on universities in authoritarian states (including Nazi Germany). Trying to build a reading list

Excellent, straightforward editorial, laying out the simple facts and dissolving the misinformation. Talking heads who prefer to repeat easy tropes are complicit in this.

I’m lost in the supermarket. Came along to shop happily. Came here for a special offer. Guaranteed personality… I’m all lost

I’m late to the party but Matthew Rankin’s ‘Universal Language’ is a thing of beauty in all its absurdity. Highly recommend

Tariffs just hit Canada. Does your biz need to save $$$ while keeping staff employed? The Canadian government's Work-Sharing Program lets businesses reduce hours instead of jobs, with EI helping cover lost wages. Keep staff. Stay stable. Ride this out. Learn more: www.canada.ca/en/employmen...

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Actual question, after watching Oval Office spectacle w one president standing up for his country, and a prez and VP pandering for Putin: I don't recall ever being more ashamed, as an American, of a president's public behavior. (Many have erred in private) What has been more shameful than this?

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Next week's Women's History Month events: Mar 3-4 Monsters & Domesticity - in person @ University of Jyväskylä (Finland) & online Mar 6 Leibniz International Seminar: Leibniz e as mulheres (online event in Portuguese) Info + links: www.newnarrativesinphilosophy.net/other-events...

Shutting down already-installed infrastructure in the name of government "efficiency" while also harming business competitors of a government official who just happens to have his own network of EV chargers.

It is really snowing. 26cm in the last 24 hours. 19 in the last 6. Another 24cm to come. Blowing wind.

Check out the events being put on in conjunction with International Women's History Month to showcase research extending new narratives in the history of philosophy! Its gonna be a lot of fun!

Do the kids today still play Risk? Just asking.
