I saw somewhere earlier “Go be your favorite self” We are used to “higher” or “best” But “favorite” leaves room for Grace. I’m going to be the version of myself that I like right now in this moment.

Glad they gave a lil more detail there so folks weren’t disappointed they couldn’t buy special shorts with lots of pockets for swabs and microspatulas, for doing conservation in hot weather

Note that the officers who 1. shoved a 75 year old man 2. them walked past him while he lay bleeding and motionless on the ground 3. then lied about their actions weren’t fired but simply suspended pending investigation. That’s the oversight these 57 cops found excessive.
#BREAKING: I’m told the entire @BPDAlerts Emergency Response Team has resigned from the team, a total of 57 officers, as a show of support for the officers who are suspended without pay after shoving Martin Gugino, 75. They are still employed, but no longer on ERT. @news4buffalo

Academics, please don't treat GLAM work as a plan B, unless you actively desire to enter the profession. I beg of you. Our job market is crowded, majority contingent labor, and is being decimated by COVID-19 too. It will not save you. (1/5)

The World Health Organization has announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out.

Replying to @alisonkatebr
A depressingly accurate rule of thumb is the less somebody is paid the more we would miss their job not being done. We'd miss refuse collectors, nurses, care home workers long before we would miss bankers or hedge fund managers but who gets paid the most?
