I had three orders:
- everything bagel toasted with hummus
- salt bagel, unsliced
- plain bagel with egg and cheese

none of these would have been a winner 😂
Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.
One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects

So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?

And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

‘Madison Sheahan, 28, who just six years ago was the captain of the rowing team at Ohio State University … now is the deputy director of ICE. "I absolutely think I’m qualified for the job," she told me. "Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?”’

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Hi everyone,

This guide is great. I've used it many, many times since 2020. I also have handed out the physical pamphlets multiple times and plan to do so again.

Highly recommended. It also is helpful because it reminds you that you aren't losing your shit for no reason, they really are fascists
If you’ve just followed me, you might want to take a look at my organizing guide which gives 40 concrete, practical suggestions on how to legally organize against fascists in our communities. There’s something for people of all identities and abilities in here.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.
UPDATE: The Coeur d’Alene Press spoke with the woman who was dragged out of a town hall for heckling legislators, confirmed which security firm worked the event and spoke with Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris and Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White about the events.

If anyone has been in touch with press covering the NIH situation broadly (firings, funding freeze etc), please encourage them to cover the sinister way in which HHS is preventing grant review and funding from happening, by blocking posting to the Federal Register.
HHS blocked posting indefinitely. Not enough press is being given to this back door approach to blocking NIH grants. If and when it is lifted will still be 35 days before study sections can be held
Still no SS meetings being posted to the Federal Register. www.federalregister.gov/documents/se...

I tried to make myself go to a neighbor’s birthday hang at a bar this evening. Sent a “happy bday!” text instead. Some days just aren’t the days.
I gotta say: this recognition that I need to be in community to survive this shit is AT COMPLETE ODDS with my introversion and misanthropy😫
