So grateful to these wonderful ppl for putting this together and thinking about our city's children experiencing homelessness! One of the missions of the shelter is to ease the trauma of homelessness by helping to provide a *feeling* of home and things like holiday celebrations are a big part of it
#nolasky join @amandasoprano.bsky.social @nolachick.bsky.social and yours truly on December 7th for the annual Christmas party @ 12 Mile Limit. This will be year ten for my annual toy drive. RT and spread the word.

#iteachphysics. Just got home from the Louisiana Space Grant annual meeting. The loss of OSTEM will hurt us so much. The incredible interdisciplinary research and experience presented at this tiny conference was absolutely incredible. We had 135 attendees and 56 student poster presentations.

Google tells me Sabrina Shroff has been a federal defender for 18 years so I'm gonna go with 'she totally intended the pun but will never admit it." 😆
Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Sometimes I believe that we will get through this for something better because we are yearning to take care of each other.
The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

What? Family is made.
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

I’m not normally one to do this, but my son just received the results for his Masters Degree & he’s earned a distinction 😃 His course supervisor has now invited him to join his research team & he’ll begin work on his PhD in March.

And he achieved this while having autism.

So, up yours RFK Jr 🖕🖕

But...will they run through the yard in 3-5 minutes?
fun tip: if you come to New Orleans and go on one of those alligator tours, and the alligators don't feel like coming out that day, your tour guide will show you 30-50 feral hogs in the swamp instead. Just like rooting around in the cypress knees and chilling
here is the current tactical map of where feral swine populations have consolidated

the major worry is if the Canadian superhogs end up making their way down south and breeding with the American hogs

Timeline Cleanse!
Got a fantastic student working on a small research project I've had on the back burner for YEARS. She is making it all her own and it's way better than my rough sketch. #womeninSTEM

Second week. Already got an email from a student stating, "If you could ____, that would be great."

They do realize I write the final. Don't they?
