A Guardian article says KPop Demon Hunters is “about rival bands” and I guess? But not at all how I would describe it. #kpdh

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

So many of these orgs don't even have to be given orders because they are volunteering And they're too cowardly to own that, so then they are claiming they are following orders that they did not even get

IMF states the obvious 🙄 I’m not an economist and even I can see that

Okay we've got a Unipiper sighting, but. Listen. It's not a true Portland event til Caesar the No Drama Llama shows up.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

OMG an emoji H-R diagram! 🎢

Good news for sewists: the paper pattern company feared lost to bankruptcy has been saved as an independent company. craftindustryalliance.org/sewing-patte...

I don’t know if this is true since I didn’t see it happen, but are ICE agents afraid of a person in a frog costume? Who is dancing? I don’t understand.

It’s really close! What’s your vote?

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Relaxing on the deck in perfect weather with a gin and tonic 2. Knitting with friends 3. Writing with fountain pens on good paper 4. Slipping my shoes off when I get home and stepping into my crocs 5. Tea

if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate

I can‘t believe people are getting so mad about @angryblacklady.bsky.social saying that you shouldn’t register for a protest. Just show up. Don‘t register.

This is a book series that serves as a comfort series much like Leverage is my comfort tv series. I've read all of the books at least 10 times in the last 30 years. And only now, after reading this article, do I see the trans connection. I just never put two and two together until now.

“Champion of free speech” is my new euphemism for asshole Nazi.

This is #TheDoubleTax. The compounded cost of racism and sexism Karen is facing will come at the cost of the TRUTH being widely disseminated. I stand with Karen and I hope you read #TheDoubleTax to understand how intentional the assault on Black women in leadership is. Preorder: annagifty.com.

We don’t bargain to give things back. We bargain to move forward! #UnionsForAll #UnionMemes

There's still time to vote! I voted for #kosmochlor because it comes from meteorites! space green! #MinCup25

This is really important. And the conviction of Erin Patterson for deliberately serving family members death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides) is a case study in good forensic science.

It’s officially fall! My neighbor with the leaf blower was out in the curl-de-sac blowing the first 5 fallen leaves!

Helpful thread for fountain pen users who care about ethical purchasing

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

Both of these books are cozy and delightful. I particularly enjoyed Emerald Moon for the excellent portrayal of early relationship anxiety and uncertainty. I think you can read these in any order. 🐺🧒

God willing if I haven’t been sent to the fields for dear leader and the creek don’t rise, I will do this:

I've been doing a lot of PD about AI, and I keep stressing that we need to explore AI from every angle with students. When I explained how generative AI works, what it can and can't do, and the ethical/privacy concerns, I stopped having major problems with students using it inappropriately.

holy crap this is amazing

Hey #ITeachPhysics folks, Since American Science and Surplus is closing, you might be interested in snagging a few items, like this nice container of iron filings! sciplus.com/iron-filings... (I love AS&S and I am sad, and I am buying these)

Look, nobody take a photo of me with my fountain pens, OK. And also don’t look at my overflowing yarn bin.

OK white-appearing folx. I think we have a job to do!

Great price for good causes. #Murderbot #BookSky 💙📚

If everyone chants/sings at a speaking volume, together, we will be LOUD. For any crowd - won’t have the same noise impact if a few are screaming/yelling and the rest just listen. Don’t need to blow out your voice- you, adding your own sound, makes a difference. #baonpdx #ForThePlayers

I just listened to the second full episode of Bluish overcast.fm/+ABQe6pq3Cm8 Sierra interviews her sister Chanea, a master teacher in Texas. IMO everyone should listen, whether you care about education or think you don’t care. Our future is literally at stake, here in the USA. Reading is political!

#BAONPDX Know the symptoms of heat illness. Keep an eye on those around you. Go to the concourse or Guest Services to cool down. Heat stroke requires IMMEDIATE medical support! Ushers can direct you to medics, go before they have to come drag you out of the stands!

New obsession unlocked!

If you are interested in how neurodivergent students experience alternative grading, Emily and I have attempting to summarize some of the existing discourse here - we have included a works cited if you are interested to see all the sources we consulted. beyondthescope.substack.com/p/neurodiver...

I live in NYC so it doesn't matter but I won't be voting for Newsom if he's the Democratic nominee. He continues to be transphobic in the most pathetic way possible. He's not anti-fascist.

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour is in Corona, CA today to stand with working families as they share how the big, ugly bill is hurting their community. America’s unions will make sure everyone knows who is responsible for the devastating cuts to Medicaid and their essential services.

Vivi’s 2nd grade teacher gave them class jobs. V: I wanted to be a table leader, but my teacher gave me the most important job: when the principal comes in and asks what we’re doing, it’s my job to tell her! Now I’m mad at myself for never appointing a ‘lesson objective rememberer’ 😂😂😂

Post your last photo of DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

It is halftime, #BAONPDX ! REVIEW THE SYMPTOMS!

I went to the Spirit v Thorns game. Great to see Rodman back. Unfortunately she scored the winning goal against the Thorns. Also unfortunately, they don’t allow personal water bottles into Audi Field, and I paid $6.37 for a 20oz bottle of water. What the hell?!? #BAONPDX

Rose Eveleth's 2024 podcast "Tested" has great material on the history of chromosomal sex testing in the Olympics and why it was abolished in response to outrage from cis women, who found it demeaning and invasive. www.tested-podcast.com

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either This is why we fight for *everyone*

Our office seismograph picked up the Kamchatka quake last night. We don’t know why the shaking lasted so long (each horizontal trace is 1 hour, so more than 2 hours of shaking). Any experts around who can explain?

I think @booker.senate.gov should prove he’s not just a paid shill for the Israeli government or a supporter of Trump policy and actually do something to support Chris Smalls
