Well I guess I get 40 minutes back on my calendar because my 1:1 meeting partner didn’t show up. On the one hand, 40 minutes back. On the other hand, I could have taken today off.

First time flying through TF Green airport, which was voted the best airport in the country by Travel and Leisure. Definitely less stressful than flying through Logan #AirportAdventures

I’ve watched AEW since Day One six years ago and I was appalled that HBO would run ICE ads during Dynamite. I sent my feedback. Not interested in watching Dynamite, Collision, or PPVs on HBO if this continues.
I am a wrestling lover and was watching AEW Dynamite tonight on HBO Max. Already there have been two recruitment ads for frickin' ICE.
If you're disgusted like I am, you can leave HBO Max some feedback on their ad choices here: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/

Having construction happening in the office one floor below ours is one thing. Having them hammering into the ceiling downstairs, which is our floor, is a whole new level of hell unlocked.
Fun thing to explain to faculty who are here doing office hours that this is slated to go to mid-Oct. 🙃

So interesting and disturbing that states have moved to ban equity interventions instead of requiring institutions to provide data on the effectiveness of equity interventions. That should be the convo that we’re having.

Every time IT comes to my office (unannounced, mind you), it is never an easy fix.
I had 3 hours today that wasn’t booked with orientation programming. And now I’ve spent about an hour of that time with the IT folks. I just want to be able to print wirelessly.

Not former potus saying Harvard has set a precedent for other universities and I have to hold myself back from mentioning Wesleyan, Georgetown law, Rutgers faculty senate, etc. What we're not gonna do is erase the Jesuits! Sigh, let me reread Elite Capture.

1. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national "snitch form" to report gender affirming care providers.
The last few times state Republicans did this, they were overloaded with memes and Bee Movie scripts.

At some point, I’ll get a good paper or conference presentation out of some of this office-of-one stress.
One huge saving grace is that I have amazing colleagues across divisions.

Nothing like being back to back and triple booked the day before your office hosts a conference for high school kiddos.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!
Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

I had my first eye exam today since the one in 2023 where I had an allergic reaction to the dilating eye drops. This Dr. was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. My exam was done with care and comprehension. My eyes are doing well, the past procedures have brought certain measures into a normal range.
