Just another thirty-something in Seattle who takes way too many pictures of her dog.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

On Feb 24, I gave a lecture at UW explaining what my team's decade-plus research on online rumors during crises reveals about the right wing "bullshit machine." Fittingly, a lightning strike impacted the original audio. Here's a fixed version w/ the full transcript: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjiG...

The calm after the storm 🍃🌸
The Quad at the University of Washington: a row of cherry blossom trees in full bloom with soft pink flowers in the morning light. A puddle in the foreground from last night’s storm reflects the cherry blossoms and blue sky.

I will now interrupt your feeds with a picture of Jorie being adorable once again.

#dogsofbluesky
A small, fluffy, tan-colored dog with wavy fur and floppy ears lies on a beige carpet, resting its head on the floor and gazing toward the camera with a relaxed expression while one ear is perked upwards. The background includes a dark-colored bookshelf filled with books, magazines, and storage containers, as well as part of a purple chair. The lighting in the room is warm and soft.

Small, fluffy dog falling asleep on her back, tucked into a blanket in a way that she somehow did herself (impressive!), exposing her torso just enough so you can still give her belly rubs. A green chew toy (some sort of animal missing its ears) sits next to her.

Calling bullshit on their lies isn't censorship. Failed insurrectionists aren't heroes. Fighting racism and helping underserved communities isn't discrimination. Showing empathy isn't evil. Supporting trans kids isn't abuse. Don't accept their twisted frames as reality.

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin
TRUMP'S DANGEROUS FREEZE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL HIRING Washington, D.C. — Today, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Rick Larsen (D-WA) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Aviation Steve Cohen (D-TN) released the following statements after President Trump froze the hiring of Air Traffic Controllers, among other safety-critical positions. "The bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 directs the Administration to hire the maximum number of air traffic controllers. That's what the law says, so the Administration must rescind this ridiculous executive order," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Hiring air traffic controllers is the number one safety issue according to the entire aviation industry. Instead of working to improve aviation safety and lower costs for hardworking American families, the Administration is choosing to spread bogus DEl claims to justify this decision. I'm not surprised by the President's dangerous and divisive actions, but the Administration must reverse course. Let's get back to aviation safety and allow the FAA to do its job protecting the flying public." "Our top priority must be the safety of the flying public so an order freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers is a misguided decision and goes against the directives of our FAA Reauthorization bill," Ranking Member Cohen said. "The aviation community will speak with one voice in condemning this short-sighted policy and reaffirm our

Celebrating Jorie’s full recovery from her scary vet visit by walking the Green Lake loop 😌 It also happens to be her 4th birthday tomorrow!! 🥳

#dogsofbluesky
Jorie & me sitting in a car (which is obviously in park) I have long, blonde hair and am wearing a blue Taylor Swift baseball cap and a grey sweatshirt. Jorie has blonde hair too and is wearing a pink jacket :) Jorie standing on the sidewalk near Green Lake park, on alert so she can say hi to the passersby. She is wearing a pink and purple puffy jacket.

Jorie is sleeping peacefully at home after a wild few days spent at the emergency vet ❤️‍🩹 We are so very thankful to the team at Timberline in Seattle for taking such great care of our girl! Now if she could just stop putting every random little thing in her mouth… 😅

Books ordered from bookstore.org, my go-to for years. They didn't have one book, so I got it from eBay (rare kids book). Bonus for shopping bookstore.org, share of sale supports local bookstore. As for shopping local, we did that last weekend, this was last minute shopping for a friend.

Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!
A comic called "What City Pigeons Talk About". Two city pigeons are standing on the sidewalk. One says "Hey, do you ever think about the past?" The other says "The past?" A closeup of the first pigeon. They say "Yeah - do you ever think about where we came from? Sometimes I forget that city pigeons are domestic animals." A hand reaches out to three wild pigeons. The narrator pigeon says "Humans domesticated us many millennia ago in the Middle East. We provided meat, feces used for fertilizer, and much more." There are two very fancy pigeon breeds. "Over time, people split us into hundreds of pure breeds - some quite elaborate! Kings and queens proudly kept pigeons, and colonists spread us worldwide." A closeup again of the first pigeon, who says, "But we fell out of fashion. Now we peck at the dusty concrete, our past glory all but forgotten. Do you ever think about that?"
