I'm so stupid before 11am I actually got a reasonable adjustment where I can refuse anything earlier.

Payments Are Going Digital, but Many Seniors Still Rely on Cash “We’re putting another burden on the elderly that we don’t have to,” one researcher said.

No cash policies “disadvantage a number of groups, including low-income people who don’t have bank accounts, people who have accounts but don’t qualify for credit or debit cards, the homeless, undocumented immigrants and older adults.”

One thing that’s great about being up at 5:50am is:

In advocating for change, I find this question asked most by people who don't want to undertake the change.

It's not genuine. It's intended to derail the entire process by questioning the legitimacy of the process.

In high school, I created an imaginary land where the only boys allowed were the ones who treated us with respect (so, like, one or two).

This is still relevant. New iteration of the University of Lyle: just women. Fuck all y'all.

Honestly, as an academic, I have seriously been considering the same.

Myth-busting time! Small actions may seem minor, but together, they create powerful climate solutions. Every bit counts! Can you bring change in your classroom or group? Take a look at the resources available on our website #ClimateChangeEducation

(One of my favorite videogames--a beautiful, weird, prickly, melancholy work of videogame literature. I've taught it in over a dozen English courses.)

This month is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, but today we want to let you know about a couple 2024 spec-fic titles from First Nations authors around the world like: A Vicious Game by #MelissaBlair, Sunforge by #SaschaStronach, and Enclave by #ClaireGColeman, to name just a few!

A text box placed over the green SustFashWales logo with the following text: “Gwener Gwyrdd encourages people to *do something* other than shopping. This could be repairing old clothes, having a crafty social or making something from upcycled materials. #GwenerGwyrdd #GreenFriday"

The aim of #GwenerGwyrdd / #GreenFriday is to encourage people to think twice before you hit the sales and shop #BlackFriday. Just questioning whether you *need* or *want* something is the first step to consuming more responsibly.

I love the Ignyte Awards and I cherish my finalist medals. This is a thread. Get to know this award and how it operates, because it's remarkable.

(P. S. FIYAHcon 2021 was legendary. The highest of the highs.)

All women, LGBTQIA+, POC, immigrants, working class, and disabled folx (and any marg'd group I, er, marg'd here) should just receive extra padding in their workloads to deal with bullying. Bc this is what f*cks with our time the most.

I am now very invested in this story.

What are we doing? Teaching climate change through digital activities, You and CO2 is an innovative, interdisciplinary project combining research and public engagement activities regarding the global problem of climate change on a local scale. buff.ly/3ZrYRXb #climatechange #digitalactivity

Totally agree; I'm from New Mexico, where we keep them in or a coyote or owl eats them.

Now I'm in the UK, even the architecture is not containment friendly. E.g., windows open outward, no screens, no A/C. Plus the culture. The change necessary is bigger than just "keep them in".

A student just told me they could only get through 20 minutes of #HotFrosty. This doubles my desire to live-skeet a viewing. Who's with me?!?!

it may happen Thursday.

I went to school there, earned an Equine Science degree. Can't believe someone like that was permitted. Unreal.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Same whenever one of my horses lies down or a chicken takes a nap. They need Granny Weatherwax signs that say "I en't ded".

Considering dusting off my old live-chirping skilz and comedy-watching "Hot Frosty" this week. Because the world is a dumpster fire, why not.

Arm tattoos of Dali's Alice in Wonderland illustrations, specifically the white rabbit, Alice on a mushroom, and the caterpillar.
