They say you learn something new everyday. Today I learned our new puppy is afraid of his own dingleberries. And this 💯 is the look he gave me when I told my partner so I can only imagine what he would do if he knew I was telling the world. #dailydog #dogsky #puppy

We had our first freeze of the season which led to rapid covering of plants or bringing them inside, but I think the black edging on the red roses just adds character :)

Proud of my city and our restauranteurs for helping to feed hungry families! Feeding children should not be a partisan issue nor a bargaining device.

If you have a SNAP card, you can eat at the following restaurants in Baton Rouge.

Dunno what #halloween prep looks like at your house but for us…this is just the half of it.

Some days I miss teaching. I have a wall of all the cards I have received from students in the past in my office and it makes me nostalgic.

If you have ever had a teacher or professor who has had an effect on you, let them know. It means more than you know.

It’s a beautiful fall day today in Louisiana! I give it a star - a Texas star swamp hibiscus 🌺

I say this all the time: if having friends, family, or partners of different races eradicated racism then by the same logic sexism shouldn’t exist because all people have friends, family, and partners of different genders.
I would love for white people to stop acting shocked JD Vance can be as racist as he is with a South Asian wife

Any mixed person can tell you it’s very common for mixed kids to have a racist white parent

And any nonwhite person can tell you interracial dating doesn’t mean you can’t be racist

Reminder: Some of those pardoned by Trump for participation in January 6th included actual #Nazis ("neo-Nazis," "Nazi sympathizers") such as Robert Packer (www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...) & Timothy Hale-Cusanelli (www.congress.gov/congressiona...)
Who's the 'Camp Auschwitz' guy and other alleged Jan. 6 neo-Nazis that Trump pardoned?
Photos of the bearded Robert Keith Packer wearing a hoodie with the Nazi SS skull and Auschwitz 'Work Brings Freedom' slogan went viral after Jan. 6

I am so proud of @lsu.bsky.social for this initiative to combat both #foodinsecurity & #foodwaste - I wish more schools across the country would do the same. www.lsu.edu/blog/2025/10...

I thought my #hibiscus blooms had packed up for the fall but found one hiding this morning! Happy surprise! Especially as this particular plant hadn’t bloomed in months.

Our new paper just hit the presses! No, not extremism research. I wear many #research hats; so in #relationships science we know disapproving friends can harm a couple, but what if the partner disapproves of the friend? Does it harm the friendship? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
