Just dropped by twitter. Still just outrage and cruelty with a few earnest folks trying to have a conversation to: change the conversation, inspire, organize, support and grow a belief that it could be so, so much better. Good luck, everyone.

I accidentally went to the for you side and it is a nonstop libertarian’s fever dream plus transphobia and fascism disguised as personal liberty. This place is 4-chan 2018, dark.

It was recently pointed out to me that I’m overfunctioning for a man I work with and…. I mean, how did they pick me out of a sea of over-functioning women…. Was it my where’s Waldo hat?

All these regressive, niche bans and censorship actions in Florida are an opportunity to acknowledge how racism, bigotry, criminalization of queerness and homosexuality have always been legally enforced through local laws in these communities. We should be loudly scrutinizing

why they can publicly enact these in plain sight of the nation without any pushback or local/national legal challenges. They’re going national. The guarantee of regressive legal justification for open bigotry hate and abuse are for next election cycle & presidential branding.

This is just really perfect.

I watch these conspiracy theorists claiming a giant coverup of the train derailment by the media and think about the decades of work done to even make environmental hazards reported to affected populations and 1/

I wish those people would put any of that energy wasted trying to make us all distrust reporting agencies into actually improving reporting and investigation capacity in service of holding the polluters financially and morally responsible for harms. Imagine what we could do. 2/2

My president is dying. An extraordinary life, he has earned his rest. I hope his remaining time is full of love and the comforts of family.

I want to share. I had COVID a few weeks ago and the strangest 2 things have happened. 1. Almost all of the pain associated with RA left after my high fever broke (~103F). Why? 2. After having COVID, the existential dread of contracting it I had for the past 3 years evaporated.

I switched from Tom's of Maine natural deodorant to MegaBabe Natural Fruit Enzymes deodorant recently and I am very happy with the change. The MegaBabe thigh rescue is also an excellent natural anti-chaffing option for thigh-full babes who wear skirts or exercise in the summer.

Well, 80 years of research have shown that the key to lifelong happiness is nurturing deep relationships & profound connection. It’s been the joy of my life to feel deeply connected to people and to build my chosen family. I completely believe and agree this is the key.

A colleague said, "look we need to acquaint students with the fact that in the real world, they will have 400 people in line behind them for their job if they mess-up, that's the standard of performance we should expect" and I said, "Yeah, but they don't want that kind of job" 👇
The “will even quit unfulfilling jobs” is cracking me up. Like yes. Good.

Which isn't an argument against rigor, it's an argument against exploitative capitalist hyper-competitive grind culture meant to exhaust 20-somethings to the point where they can no longer find meaning in work or life by the time they turn 30. We can build a better/kinder world.

I think I’ll add an assignment where students submit AI produced writing to be graded by course LMS surveillance tools (that I never use) to demo how no one’s goals of learning are met, then grade them on their performance in a debate on the rise of transactionalism in higher ed.

Over the "winter break," I had multiple assessments for high-risk breast cancer due to family history. I have an estimated 35% chance of developing breast cancer in my lifetime. I was encouraged to start chemo-prophylaxis. This morning I had my first breast MRI. I'm grateful 1/

as I am just 3 days away from the anniversary of my mother's death from metastatic breast cancer, that there are so many more testing options available beyond mammogram. However, I declined the chemo and chose increased testing - annual mammo + MRI for 10 years - because 2/
