This! I teach a 4/4 load at regional campus in a system where the flagship has departments with more faculty than we have in total. If people want to know what higher ed is really like, ask folks like me!
Today has been one of those days. I banged my kneecap hard on my car, my cat Squish decided to get on the roof somehow (in a thunderstorm), and then I got stung by a wasp that had was on the deck in the dark, right between my toes.
But I threw some nice pots, so there is that, I guess?
I really do love pottery.

Y’all, I’m finally getting the hang of this pottery thing. Not quitting my day job any time soon, though.
This, a thousand times, this.

I made a veggie and dip tray. Pottery is my sanity.
I just feel like we as a society actively resent that getting good at something takes a lot of work and is an active if not relentless pain in the ass most of the time

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope.

This comes as Trump’s Iran War enters week four.
Florida Dems flipped 2 legislative seats today, in districts that had gone for Trump by 7% & 11% in November 2024.
Now a key question: GOP is preparing to re-gerrymander FL, & many are expecting a map they'll go for a map that nets them FIVE new seats.
Does this spook them from going that far?

Good dogs. Very good dogs.
Yeah, but do they bite you? If not, they know you’re okay.
Trust dogs. Always. They unerringly know who the awful people are.
An AI image of Andy oglesPete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio wearing Crusader crosses and armor with the words “This is a battle of good vs evil. We must reaffirm that our nation was built on Christian principles. Join Us” And a response with the words “The anti-Catholic Tennessee Congressman uses Catholic crusaders to argue for evangelical Protestant nationalism.
My congress cretin is truly awful.
You’re not entirely wrong…sadly.
I agree. But how? Our press releases don’t make it to anyone large audience. Our social media is good, but not million followers good. I’m stumped as to how to get the attention of those that would be able to turn the narrative.

THIS! My campus is rural, has a ridiculously high percentage of first generation students, and is doing amazing things. But no one ever talks about my campus, or campuses like mine. Maybe if we did, this weird animosity about higher ed wouldn’t be so prevalent.
13/ Legal experts we talked to were alarmed by the precedent set by Doyley and Bennett’s cases, particularly as Florida considers a bill that could pave the way for more court-ordered medical care.

Okay, it’s official. The timeline is wrong.
Seriously? If they self-identify that way, of course they love him. It’s a cult.
