Towson University emergency alert messaging. Students (faculty and staff) confused by poor messaging.

Imagine calling a career veteran fat to merely earn favor. Reality TV diplomacy.

Evacuate one building but stay off campus is a mixed message. #Towson

An elected official should not have better healthcare than a farmer, teacher, or plumber.

Hoo is (not) Virginia (Tech). How can you be a serious candidate and mix that up?!

As a geographer, I have questions…. New MD environmental justice maps exclude… environmental justice indicators. marylandmatters.org/2025/09/29/m...

Jesus: Look at all this gold. Also Jesus: I’m not feeding the hungry or poor! Work harder. Oh wait…

If the market can provide the 23.7% discount…. 😂. Pentagon wants to get out of the subsidizing costs business 🙃 Irony isn’t dead. americagist.com/pentagon-tak...

It’s the cars….

I’m confused how a government shutdown can be the fault of the political party… not in charge of the House, Senate, or White House.

Propose a bicycle lane. It’ll take the rest of my life.

Fleury. That is all.

I still think it’s crazy that kids can be sent into war zones or become local hero as a college athlete but can’t drink alcohol until they’re 21. 🙃

Why is there no eggnog in the stores yet?! In this economy, it’s going to be like $15 a carton…

#Humberto is now a Cat 5! It’s the first time in nearly a century with back to back seasons with Cat 5’s in the Atlantic. We are seeing our warmer future unfold in real-time, IMO. 1/

Kid asked me if we had pens when I was in college… I’m going to need a beer.

Unions are bad. I hate 40-hour work weeks, healthcare, minimum wage, and PMFL. Much prefer working in a dark mine and dying at 37. 🙃🤡

Hello Humberto Buenas Noches Humberto

The flat earth society holds a conference each year, so the science on the oblate spheroid isn’t clear. 🙃 Do better.

Every day is a distraction designed to incite reaction and waste your energy. Focus. Happy hump day.

Having lived in Serbia during Fulbright, I am excited to announce opportunity. Interested in learning about the Balkans, drink rakiya, visit Sarajevo, Tito's Bunker or a 16th-century Ottoman-era bridge? Share with networks that may be interested such topics. #professionaldevelopment #geography
