Twin Citizens: If you frequent a small, independently owned restaurant that would benefit from a grant for lost business during the siege, let them know about the Salt Cure Fund. It’s a small ($2500-10000) grant, and the deadline to apply is 2/23.
I made a flyer you can share out, DM me for the PDFs

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Just putting it out there: I'm up for a taco crawl or ten, large group or small, at any point this summer. Name a time and a starting point and I'm there.
There should be taco crawls every weekend this summer.
Maybe some places on Central?

Amy, why do you have such a concerned look on your face?
Me: 1,000 things, but in this present moment I'm worried about Dr. Robby going on his motorcycle adventure.

~15 years ago I had an in-class exercise where undergrads had to find the origins of this expression + cite the answer. Then they had to justify why they chose that source (author's credentials? purpose of the source?). The internet was different back then. Twas much harder to find the origins.

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

Number of peer review requests that I received before 11am CT today:
4
I declined all 4 because I have 3 in the hopper (from the last month) that I need to complete soon.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I thought about when I saw Musk's stupid racist tweet: Minnesotans have spent the last month and a half saying we will die to defend our multicultural community.
It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.
