Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

we have now entered the "smoked turkey in a quesadilla" phase of Thanksgiving leftovers #dontjudgeuntilyoutry

You’ve been kidnapped The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

On my dark days, I think what a horrible mistake it was to go into higher education rather than stay at my rather nice K-12 job. Today is one of those days. I know tomorrow will be better but Jesus why did I drag my family across the country.

This take is the pseudo-intellectual version of this comic

My uni has a full time employee whose job it is to decide what data the school of ed needs and write the report. I'm so glad she's there so all I have to do is collect and summarize for my program (using a collection process she designed to make it easier) but WE HAVE A FULL TIME PERSON to do this!!

My daughter’s friend just showed up wearing a babydoll top that looks identical to one I owned in late 1994. 😳

the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

My God. Yes. Same. Why is this so hard? Is it not one of the things they check in TWELVE YEARS of standardized testing??

Thou Shalt Never Again Complain About Egg Prices If You Voted For The Guy Who Canceled Food.

The rich Dem owners, I mean donors, must have been affected by the flight cancellations.

This is it in a nutshell. From Reddit:

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to… they are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Should be fun for the education system try and build trust in the community and help these kids in a few years after we prosecute all the ICE-stapo. We'll surely get more education funding to catch them up and not have their mandated test scores used for privatization scams, right...RIGHT?!

This is of course the outcome I wanted, but it’s even better than I thought was realistic to hope.

It’s been a while since I hopescrolled

Can't spell "commonwealth" without a "W"

WAY TO GO VIRGINIA!!!!

Ah, off-cycle election night. Time to start obsessively following the returns for a faraway candidate I just learned about an hour ago.

A cricket managed to find its way into the basement. I can hear it but I can't find it. I think it's between the concrete and the drywall. In other news, I might be motivated to patch the hole in the siding now...

For all my #academicsky folks who can afford to: Check and see if your campus has a food pantry for students in need. The one on my campus takes cash and food donations.

The absolute and intentional tone-deafness, Marie Antoinette style, is just beyond.

Also me:

I love when past me already completed a task on today's to-do list. I would love if today-me could remember that it was already done 😂 #academicsky

I hope this email finds you on a ladder propped against the side of the Louvre.

someday I will figure out how to regulate my impulse control. Apparently today is not that day.

I am a big fan of the F word, but it still surprises me how many adolescent age humans are comfortable using it in front of adults 😳

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. Nobody showed for auditions.

Watching parent behavior at a soccer game as the mom of a ref is an eye opening experience.

Fuck all and every website that writes their code to not function with a VPN.

Ew. No

a mosquito snuck into my house and I have been bit five times while getting ready for work. Live footage of me in my bathroom...

I don't think the Cubs are playing well enough right now but at this moment, there is a non-zero chance that my AL team and my NL team might meet in the World Series. 😱

Bluetooth sound systems are trash and every new recording is optimized to that

Timeline cleanse!! Wholesome video of crab going "WHAT IS THIS THING?!"

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Things are very dangerous right now, but also extremely silly.

A revision of an article. Then a tasty dinner #currentsituation

Republicans never ever waste an opportunity to continue dismantling any public good in the service of money and power

There is an undergrad student writing a paper in our lobby on a 1960s era typewriter. #acadmicsky #currentsituation

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

If you've experienced domestic violence or supported DV survivors, you'll recognize the walking on eggshells dynamic. SSHHHH be quiet, make yourself small, don't anger them so they don't lash out again or further...

For the "Dems need to tone down rhetoric" people: Medgar Evers 1963 John F. Kennedy 1963 James Chaney 1964 Michael Goodman 1964 Andrew Schwerner 1964 Malcom X 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. 1968 Robert F. Kennedy 1968 Fred Hampton 1969

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Congrats Mr. @jrwalkinshaw.bsky.social!!!
