Nerd alert. ⚠️ I love it when I (an almost PhD, edu/lgbtq+) see research or memes related to my partner's field (PhD, cognitive psy/memory), and then immediately forwarding it, just cause I hope he finds it interesting/cool/funny/useful for his students.
Sorry not sorry, I can't be stopped.

I am so damn happy, I might cry. This is so beautiful. I could see this with my naked eye (just not quite as bright).

I am freaking out so hard. You can see faint pink and light green (it looks white without the camera) with the naked eye! I am in love. South central KS, 8pm.

Not sure if anyone I know has... but since we are near the KS one, figured I'd share.
If you've done in-person research at any of the following presidential libraries in the last 8 months, can you please follow me/contact me—soon—for a story I'm working on (can be off the record)?
Hoover
FDR
Truman
Eisenhower
JFK
LBJ
Ford
Carter
And either way, can you please share this request? 🙏

The only cool thing that came out of that Sunday night game was a scorigami (40-40) tie.

I know teaching is hard.. but it's extra disheartening when you spend time grading essays and giving feedback just to realize SEVERAL students cheated (from one another or AI). My last week was already tough, so this icing on the cake is really getting to me..

Note to self: Before returning student papers via Google docs, I need to turn off notifications for resolving comments or edit next time.
I'm glad they are working on revisions but the notifications are... a lot... Oops.

It is interesting to me that, while I was trying to search through my own posts on fb (like enter a keyword, sort by post by me/my friends, by year, etc) that you can no longer search/sort via posts at all. Interesting....

Gotta admit, starting To Kill A Mockingbird (freshmen) and Night (sophomores) this week w/ my students has been a trip. Important, but... not a great trip. Tough.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'
• Goal is to finish production in 9 months
• Budget is ~$30M
• Plan is to debut the film at Canne
• 'Paddington 3' writers penned the script
• Art will be fed into Chat GPT 5 and other image models

With the joking trend of "What Radicalized You?" but you were a kid who watched Disney movies. They obviously have their cultural issues, but the very beginning of Aladdin shows him giving away the bread to poorer children & standing up to the a*hole prince in the street... Pretty on point tbh.

At that point where I'm just staring at my dissertation, particularly edits for chapter 1&2, and freezing... because I'm so overwhelmed and feel like an idiot that doesn't deserve a PhD. So.. That's fun.
