Can we all just agree that aside from some of the candy, Easter food is disgusting?

Conferences: Please book your hotels and tickets as soon as possible.

Also conferences: Oh did you expect us to release the program schedule before you do that? Ha ha, no.

As usual, I will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day by roundly ignoring its existence.

In Miami <24 hours, cybertruck sightings currently at four.

TFW when you say fuck it and send the weird email to your colleagues anyway and they're totally into it.

Nothing like a confirmation that you're being surveilled by your employer.

TFW when you're about to send a goofy email to colleagues but you don't know if you're at that level with them yet.

In the thrift store looking for stuff, I can cut up to make a janky version of traditional Klingon ceremonial dress, like a totally normal person

Today my class was repeatedly interrupted by a capella singers coming to serenade various students for Valentine's Day, and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

I've used "statesider," but I like "USian" much better.

Living under capitalism is like being forced to play a board game you dislike where the rules are boring, unfair and nonsensical but which the winners, who started with an advantage, keep explaining are excellent, and if you try improve the game you’re “cheating” but if you stop playing you’ll die

Don't worry, I'm going to make sure that the students use critical thinking to come to their own personal conclusion as to why Bezos is both megalomaniacal and a pathetic sycophant.

Who wants to bet they are behind on her expense reports?

I've nicknamed one of the sessions in my Science Controversies class "Fuck Bezos" and every day validates that decision more firmly.

PERFECT GIF.

Oh my god, and all of my reference services slips from the Cape Town archives are neatly tucked inside. It's a miracle.

I just found two missing fieldwork notebooks from ~ten years ago and I just about fell over out of sheer relief.

Still from Star Trek Voyager episode Threshold depicting two amphibious creatures with catfish barbels in a tropical environment

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

[School] may come to regret hiring me to teach a class on science controversies.

I'm betting "no drugs" doesn't include prescription uppers to stay awake and downers for sleep.

Providence RI.

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

Lobbyists and YRs are scavengers; they don't do their own hunting.

Seems a reasonable guess. Got peregrine falcons in the area? They leave similar featherplosions.

Pop rocks were a key component.

This makes me sound like a terrible snob, but that's only because I am.

After years of well-meaning gifts, I've finally learned that what the children in my family really want in their stockings is terrible, mass-produced candy with some sort of gimmick (fizz, slime, turns their mouth awful colors). At least I bought it from a mom-n-pop penny candy store.

I don't even live in Ohio. I'd still be throwing elbows.

The other folks at the gift exchange are terrible, there'd be a fistfight over him at any of mine.

The Bank of America logo really sells it 🙄
