Most likely, leaving somebody's job and running real fast to go pick up my 2 year old from daycare. This same kid is 31 years old now... 🥹

My heart goes out to colleagues in STEM, and to all of higher ed right now. This admin is Not Good for us.
Still, I can't help but wish folks had cared when it was the Rest of Us in the crosshairs. I can't get over the idea that many were OK with us being attacked by the far right because "DEI."

If you ain't rich, being debt free is the next best thing. I have a paid off mortgage and the freedom is amazing. I'm not rich but I don't have to work full time as a result of being debt free and saving over 50% of my income. And with an idiot as president, being debt free gives me options.
