If you see me on here it's probably because I'm avoiding homework. But also I like a lot of things and to talk about them.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!"
Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource.
When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

Made the Quincy's Tavern mushroom and gnocchi soup tonight. (With bonus broccoli that needed to get used.) Whooo. That's a beautiful, filling soup. Low energy make if you use presliced onions and mushrooms.

Ah yes. He's focused on... what exactly? He could've pivoted to a veteran's talking point like he usually does
On a call with reporters just now, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet ducked a question about whether Sen. Schumer should stay on as minority leader: “That’s not where I’m focused today.”

I finally got around to making this tonight. Delicious. Used pre sliced squash and assembly went pretty smoothly. Also we felt 4/5 stars fancy eating it.
This pasta bake is savory fall brilliance. Everything is tossed raw into a springform and what emerges is resplendent: layers of tender squash and spinach with noodles, burnished to a snatch-able crisp on top, the aroma of toasted cheese everywhere.

Hey all! All! Want to hear the funniest joke in the world?
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

I’m too feverish for a political tussle but the long and short:
Coalition building towards a shared goal cannot be dependent on public servants who won’t fight. Use them and eventually cast them aside for those who will.

I caught the bags of cranberries at Costco 2 days after they were packed. So of course I made my house smell delicious and I'll put these up in the freezer. Should have plenty through Xmas.

It gets even worse: Due to the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, small states are also over-represented in the House, so less populated states have multiple veto points in the system. There is actually no place in our federal system where the national majority rules.
okay one more thing, if the filibuster was so critical to the interest of small states, why is it that it didn't exist until the middle of the 19th century and wasn't actually used with any regularity until well into the 20th?

My university offers Communication in Science, but it isn't required for any of those departments. It's so important we try all the angles to change how we communicate about science.
When science is understandable, we all win. I've started a national petition calling on all institutions of higher education, and their accreditors, to require science communication and public engagement training for all STEM degrees.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
