Binging @karaswisher.bsky.social's series from CNN was a top tier life choice. She would 💯 be on my dinner guest list.

5.5 years later, first hair cut. 😭😍 It's giving off Jonathan Taylor Thomas 90s vibes.

I was five when Toy Story arrived on the scene, now my oldest son is five as Toy Story 5 was just released. 🤯

Headed into vacation feeling a little lighter and full of gratitude for the teams, mentors, friends, and family who support, encourage, and push me to grow on a daily basis.

My daily schedule: Diaper change Breastfeed Tummy time or sensory exploration Contact nap and The Amazing Race Occasional sleep Rinse and repeat. 🤱🏼

It's been 5 weeks of maternal leave. And if I ever hear someone, anywhere, refer to parental leave as "time off" then I may scream in their face. And then leave all of the newborn poopy diapers on their doorstep. ✌🏼

Sending the biggest CONGRATULATIONS to DR. Elena Kalina—the SAPR Lab’s first PhD trainee!! 🎉 🎉 I’m so proud of you and all of your hard work! If you’re an alcohol researcher, keep an eye out for her cutting-edge (NIAAA funded) EMA work on impaired control! Big things are coming your way, lady!

The Pitt is phenomenal, and infuriating. What a great "non-fictional" reminder of how broken the healthcare system is in this country.

Getting licked by a bee is strange and adorable

I cannot emphasize enough how crucial it is to watch this series at least once all the way through in your lifetime. Run, do not walk, to binge it. Legit incredible and I have rewatched it probably 10 times. #SixFeetUnder

HBO notes that this week marks the 25th anniversary one of its best shows, the funeral home-set drama, Six Feet Under. Back in 2002, I was lucky enough to visit the set, and my story for the Tampa Bay Times a year earlier, explained why the series was so awesome: loom.ly/i4US7Y8

Just saw that Six Feet Under premiered 25 years ago today and if there was ever a show that stuck the landing, that is it. Honestly? Probably my favorite show ever.

HELL YEAH!

Public support for the LGBTQ+ community by corporations has become politically risky, public relations expert says. n.pr/4fKOBBG

As the mother of a newborn in FL, this is not it. Not a chance in the fiery layers of hell.

“I may not have 30 years, but I think I have another hour." 😭❤️

HACKS had the best series final in a long time.

I laughed. I cried. And I was/am grateful that Hacks brought us Hannah Einbinder, Jean Smart's career high performance(s), the chemistry of Paul and Meg, and the reappearance of Chris McD. And now, it's something to deeply miss. Well done to the creator trio. My favorite show in a decade. ❤️

I AM NOT READY FOR HACKS TO BE OVER!!! That is all.

Missing JeeWon so much. Her humor, her kindness, her expertise, her incredible style, her generosity, her support, & her encouragement. Learning from her, I felt such pride when something she taught me just clicked. + I will always remember how she cared for my son, & was excited about the new LO. 💔

The vibe I bring to the party: LO is 2 wks old today, & we had a home visit with an IBCLC (just because I find it helpful regardless of success with first born); she was shooketh that this milk monster chowed down 4.6 oz in ~20 mins from one boob. Like whaaaaat. *Not seen, beer in my left hand 😜

Michael Scott: "I drove my car into a f*cking lake."

Academic patriarchy is how there is nothing inside of doctoral robes to hook the hood to, because they assume you are wearing men’s clothes underneath and can attach it to your belt or shirt buttons.

I think about this alot. #forthechildren

Baby wearing is THE way. 🥰

First beer in 9+ months. Delivered a 9lb5oz baby boy this morning who arrived on his exact due date and is now a birthday twin with Sir David Attenborough (on his 100th!!). Body is so sore and tired, but our hearts are very full. 🥰🍻

Tomorrow is my due date. Tomorrow is also Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday. So even though babies generally aren't born on their due dates, I really really hope our son decides to be an exception because how freaking cool to be a bday twin with this man, 100 years later! #Science #Nature

As someone who’s had shingles twice: this is just fucking evil www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Are we still posting our raw datasets now that they're being farmed for genAI-written papers? I'm starting to feel differently now sharing data before I'm totally done with my own research questions...

Why yes, I will in fact periodically check this National Geographic sled dog "Denali Puppy Cam" while waiting to give birth to my tiny hooman. What a wonderful way to pass the time. 😍🥹 Spoiler: they are currently napping. Each pup is named after a national park. www.nps.gov/dena/learn/p...

Twenty-five-year-old Madeline Spatafore is now among the 70 women killed each month in the US by an intimate partner. As in so many of these tragedies, her abuser ultimately took his own life after the attack. We don’t have to live or die like this.

Happy Birthday & congrats to this guy for 20 years of military service in the U.S. Navy. I know you often have trouble accepting it when people thank you for your service, but genuinely, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! So very proud of you for what you accomplished over these 20 years. 1/3 ⚓💙

7 years married! Celebrating that time two randos stood in as our proxies at a courthouse in Montana. But really, it's about the love, commitment, joy, and family we have maintained all these years through ups and downs. ❤️ #Anniversary

So I guess this is what happens to negligent doctors? Maybe? 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think it’s good to try not to spread conspiracy theories. And also, I’m begging people to recognize that the rise of conspiracy theories is a societal problem. We’ve had attacks on traditional media for years. Now we’re getting state propaganda. And AI makes people disbelieve the truth too.

Women are more likely to experience domestic violence in D.C. than in any state nationwide, WaPo reports.

So long, Kopi. Thanks for the 2 Cups and 20 seasons of memories. Legendary 👑. Retirement well-deserved. #NHL #Playoffs

A violent, sociopathic SecDef. A leader who invokes Vietnam to explain away the uncertainty related to Iran. I think of My Lai, the multigenerational trauma, I think of what we should have learned by now. Who will be the voice of truth?

Find yourself an Ezra dog who is with you throughout all the big pregnancy belly phases. 🥰

New paper— everyone is collecting intensive longitudinal data but recent review studies report that less than half of studies consider measurement/psychometrics. The paper covers a few foundational psychometric methods for ILD and provides a shiny app to apply them link.springer.com/article/10.3...

38 weeks pregnant. Finished my last classes. One final exam scheduled for next Wednesday, I might make it! But wow, what a semester. On maternal leave for summer. So that's a wrap on PhD year 3! 1/2 #PhDSky #AcademicSky

*hysterical laughing* What a truly idiotic decision.

As a parent, I cannot overstate the impact of Bluey. It is the most rewatched show in our house. Literally a perfect creative effort for children's television.

If you live in or around Alachua County or know someone that does - the Humane Society of North Central #Florida is in desperate need of emergency fosters right NOW - there's a fire right next to the facility. 4205 NW 6th St. #Gainesville www.humanesocietyncfl.org Call them at 352.373.5855

If you are near Gainesville, FL and can open your home to an animal in need even for a short time, please help! There is a vegetation/brush fire ongoing close to their facility. 🫶🏼

This is beautiful. The man, the myth, the legend, Sir David Attenborough turns 100 soon. 15/10 recommend. "There is more meaning and mutual understanding in exchanging a glance with a gorilla than with any other animal I know.”
