Ai overview. "No, 1935 was not 90 years ago, it was 89 years ago. Since the current year is 2024,..."

I was inspired to bake this cake in December 2020. May need to open a bakery this year.
Fudgy chocolate cake that says "Fuck 2020" with flames all around

To the extent it's voluntary, my guess: young people (who can) are walking straight out of the overlap. It's true that many are giving up on traditional career pathways because, well... *waves arms around*
Venn diagram showing the overlap between "apocalypse" and "having to go to work," labeled "somehow we've ended up here."

🚨 More international student visas revoked by DHS, this time at the University of Cincinnati. Notification just came in from the university president. Students not named, number of students not specified.
Excerpt from university email: "Dear Campus Community, We have learned that the Department of Homeland Security has revoked the F-1 visas of a small number of international students here at UC. UC representatives are in touch with each of our impacted students, and we are doing what we can to support them during this incredibly challenging time. While we are aware that this is happening at universities across the nation, we have not been contacted by authorities, nor have we been given specific reasons for these revocations."

New research on US protest. ✊ "That Americans seem to be rediscovering the art, science and potency of noncooperation—combined with a robust protest capacity and legal action—shows that resistance...in America is not only alive and well. It is savvy, diversifying and probably just getting started."
Graph showing that US protest events in 2025 are more than double those counted in 2017.

Luna is just wondering why be so worried today when the ball is the only thing that matters, obviously. #dogsky
Luna, a tiny Australian shepherd mix, is laying on a huge pillow, smiling with that crazy look in her eye.

Two dogs smiling at you. One is bigger and red, a red heeler. The other is little, an Australian shepherd. The longer they smile at you like this, it really wears you down.

@atthenius.bsky.social Here's a version with much better alt-text.
Comic strip showing various types of climate psychology papers with humorous titles and summaries, discussing awareness, emotions, actions, and individual versus collective efforts on climate change. Headline: Types of Climate Psychology Papers The 12 paper titles are: 1. How to stop climate denial and raise awareness 2. Oh wait, just knowing stuff doesn't lead to action! Dang. 3. K, let's look into climate feelings... 4. How to make people *care* about climate change 5. Turns out, caring doesn't make people act either... Hm. 6. People who care are suffering, kind of a lot: Calling all psychologists! 7. New big idea: What *really* matters is action! 8. How to get people to do green behaviors 9. But, hold on, are individual actions enough? 10. Here's a study of a protest and why people went. 11. Activism makes people feel good... and can lead to systemic change 12. But climate scholars should definitely not be activists

So, we can add "better fashion culture" to the list 👌
Humorous cartoon depicting a speech taking place at a climate summit. Projected behind the speaker is a bulleted list of the benefits of climate action, including energy independence, clean water, and livable cities. An audience member asks, "what if it's a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?"

Reminds me of this image that lives rent-free in my brain.
The image is a black-and-white cartoon depicting a group of four women seated in a living room setting. They are engaged in conversation, with a coffee table in front of them that holds teacups and a teapot. One woman, dressed in a black dress, is speaking, saying, "I don't know why I don't care about the bottom of the ocean, but I don't." The background features a decorative screen and a lamp, contributing to the cozy atmosphere of the scene. The overall tone is humorous, reflecting a casual discussion among friends.

Post a picture from a different era of your life

Chicago, 2008. Worked at a tech start-up, played ping pong in the atrium, won doubles tournament with Joe Curlee. Fierce showdown. That year, I'd decide to turn my life upside down & go to grad school... This me has no idea what's about to happen. 🤣
A photo booth strip featuring four black-and-white images of me and Joe celebrating our victory. Each image shows us posing, holding drinks and displaying gestures of celebration. The bottom of the strip includes a logo for "Photo-Me" and text thanking users for utilizing their digital technology, along with the date and time of the photo. The photo is sitting on top of our winner's plaque.
