Instead of engaging w/ the new, bigoted dross published by a certain “public classics” journal, I am reading an article on the cultivation of roses 🌹 in antiquity. Am I “doing classics” enough? Wouldn’t want to reflect critically on my field and its inequities, would I? www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/12...
White board covered in anime and cartoon figures drawn in red marker. Skillful, whimsical, fun.
Ah, one of the reasons I love college. Something fun to stumble upon this morning in the Natural Sciences Center. #cartoons #Universityatbuffalo
You got that right!
Ha ha. Yes, that is the student-designed mascot abandoned by the University. Known as Scrotie. My daughter’s high school announced mascots for the schools seniors would attend - they thought she must have been making it up.
Pink bicycle sock with old RISD graphic in black with white stitching at bad, heel, and toe. The old mascot Scrotie on the side of the foot in white thread.
My favorite off-brand University wear. I might have to stop wearing them to preserve for the archives.
Important to note Democrats did NOT fund ICE or CBP.
Adding here the AI summary for course modules in Brightspace. Like, summaries of dates, tasks, bullet points, citations, descriptions. Luckily can be turned off by instructor. If noticed. Have no idea when it appeared, but noticed it this week.
Shameless plug here for my once and future co-author who also happens “by accident of birth” to be my daughter. @maddycherr.bsky.social Looking forward to reading the rest of the pieces in #academizines!

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms.
You have to listen to this.
Great news!
Well isn’t this a lovely turn of events!
Second that! Looking forward to reading this
“One question that may be harder to resolve is the extent to which the possibility of insider trading may actually have influenced policy. Are decisions about war and peace in part serving the cause of market manipulation rather than the national interest?”

What an amazing story
Not equating this to the Himalayas, but when my husband and I were first together we took a hike in New Hampshire and a golden retriever named Alabama was just hanging around the store at the trailhead to follow people up the mountain. Apparently did that all day long.
Night time, with bird feeder hanging in tree with divided trunk. Snow on the ground and a little eye lit by the flash and a flying squirrel mid-glide between the trunks. Big eye caught in the flash.
Closing out the weekend in the woods with the flying squirrel caught on the wildlife camera at the bird feeder. Well, mostly squirrel feeder with 4000 pictures in one month of grey squirrels, flying squirrels, raccoons, fox or two, deer, fisher, and a coyote. Yeah, we need to fix the date lol

Thank you!
My husband was once proud to have fed the dog and cats while I was away. But every water bowl and toilet was dry in the house. Love your “fed AND watered.” That’s what we say now.
Huh. Glad to see NYT finally admitting to this.
In our house helicopters were hee-hoppers so I get it!
Woman standing in a narrow, steep shale creek bed on a pile of debris and dirt held back by a clump is f fallen and stuck sticks, small logs, and leaves. Black and white terrier mix in an orange coat and woman in blue jacket and winter hat.
Early spring creeks clogged with a season’s worth of dirt and fallen branches. Getting some help from the dirty dog who found some “good” stuff to roll in. #dogsofbluesky
Cluster of tall hemlock trees with leafless trees around them. One trunk marked by many large holes made by wood peckers.
Beech tree surrounded by fallen leaves in the woods with one prominent long woodpecker hole and shavings on the ground below it
Many shavings on the ground that is covered by leaves in the woods. They have sprayed out below the tree from a higher woodpecker hole.
A day in the woods. The woodpeckers are busy.
This documentary shows what the coordination behind book banning in the US. Seeing Lawn Boy at the top of the stack certainly makes me think of a trans-Atlantic effort. www.pbs.org/independentl...
The tracks of the emerald ash borer snaking though ash. A log to be burned in the fire.
The Emerald Ash borer did its damage. Now we need to worry about the hemlocks. The Hemlock Woolly Adelgid.
Grey cat in a mesh tube with rainbow trim on a grey carpet in a family room with doors to deck behind him. He looks content with paws under him but he is looking to where the dog was sitting to keep an eye on him
The Grandcat is home, giving the dog a little side-eye from his cat tube. #catsofbluesky
Mosaic flower with blue center, orange petals, green leaves and some shiny blue decoration to fill a pothole in the sidewalk. Words in tiles around the flower read “Buffalo Pothole Bandit.”
A little something for you from my afternoon walk.
