I’m now in Austin TX due to FL’s anti-trans policies. I had to abandon a huge plant collection 15+ years in making and a position at a large botanical garden in north FL. I’m still looking for decent work and a kind soul with a greenhouse I could use for my rarest plant 🌱

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.
“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”
Nope.
We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.
You work for us.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Dems need to run in every district. Our gerrymander gives Rs very thin margins. And maybe getting thinner. We have A LOT of districts.
You gotta wonder if Texas Republicans are looking at their new congressional map and wondering if they made a huge mistake.

Since we’re talking BUNNICULA I need everyone to know that the audiobook is read by Victor Garber and he truly out-gays himself. Harold and Chester absolutely come across as the fussy middle-aged couple they were obviously meant to be.

I've had to update the plot of the strongest tropical cyclones by ocean basin all too often in recent years, since climate change increases the number of high-end storms. Melissa has joined the club, tied with Dorian (2019) as strongest Atlantic hurricane recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico.
