I baked this very mature and sophisticated cake for my 40 something husband's birthday 🙂

Yesterday, I explained what a tradwife influencer is to my spouse. Can you imagine living your life without ever knowing such horrors and nonsense. Never knowing a single Clavicular

[Screams in Lapu Lapu]

5 is right out. Once the number 3, being the 3rd number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioche towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to 3, no more, no less. 3 shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be 3. 4 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 2, excepting that thou then proceed to 3...

The Asian American faculty and staff assoc hosted our annual party for the campus, and my heart gre 3 sizes reading what the community wrote #aapi

No more subscriptions for software we used to buy once and download into our PCs. I'm looking at you Adobe

Still thinking fondly of an ECR panelist at ASECS who called an earlier panel a "banger"

I love my people

#ASECS26 folks: don't forget to print 2 accessibility copies of your papers! @asecsoffice.bsky.social Travis Chi Wing Lau and Jason Farr have written this helpful guide: profession.mla.org/toward-a-mor...

I didn't know you were coming!!!!

Imagine if he's doing all this just because the astronauts have been getting all the attention??

I read through this whole thing and it's mostly teachers using AI to "save time" with class prep and finding creative ways for instruction. Nothing that meaningfully improves students' outcomes.

BUT they can use AI to revise mean or jargony emails to parents lol so that's good I guess

For the first time EVER I won our family march madness brackets! How did I pick the teams? Vibes, purely

Alice Wong at the National Portrait Gallery. I'm so happy to see her work and legacy recognized here 💕

On this Trans Day of Visibility, my heart breaks anew on thinking of the years I've missed with my aunt, who was murdered 5 years before I immigrated to the US in 1990. She was a kind and beautiful person, beloved. And today's SCOTUS decision on conversion therapy is a disgrace to her memory.

Sinking $$$ into a club or travel team to be scouted is not rooted in reality. Colleges recruit from school teams, not club or travel teams. If the player isn't affiliated with a HS, they're not eligible for scholarships!!

I especially love how late 18c-early 19c folks thought male ob-gyns were perverts for getting into that business in the first place

O, that this too too solid flesh would tuna melt

I was home alone last night for a few hours and spent a significant amount of time singing (badly and loudly) all of Little Shop of Horrors while I watered the 1000 plants in my house. Then I cried through all of Hamnet.

Glorious Saturday night, highly recommend

Race was a construct carefully calibrated during chattel enslavement and solidified in the 19th century in the age of abolition (paradoxical, but read about it!). Race has not always been a given.

You can't do worse than me when I went to read a book aloud, only to realize that the chapter i was reading implied the dog died

I had to keep reading because the kids got so upset, understandably

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

Good news!

Oh no -- I looked her up on ratemyprofessor and it's very, very bad

The ways in which the current political climate has muzzled our ability to teach meaningfully cannot be overestimated. We suffer, our students suffer, but at least this one lady doesn't have to say her pronouns anymore. Excellent tradeoff.

Professors Are Changing What They Teach, Even Far From Trump’s Gaze

I finally read the piece on faculty censorship and most profs say that they are fearful of political reprisal, deportation, and their students' safety and then there's one conservative instructor who's happy not to say "menstruating persons" anymore
