Nothing like the suburbs in autumn, when the weather is crisp, the trees are vibrant, and the air is filled with the soothing sound of leaf blowers

New paper out with @boryslaw.bsky.social 🥳 In which we sketch out how to rethink measurement invariance causally for applied researchers. And provide a causal definition of measurement invariance!

I hate that universities are held in opposition to the trades. My dad’s work as an electrician made me appreciate expertise and made me want the highest form of knowledge in my field. love to pay an expert for their knowledge— seems nice that our economy could sustain many kinds of expertise.

I have always been committed to nonviolence but the way a lot of people are talking about nonviolence right now has really been bothering me, and I realized it was reminding me of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made...
The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything

For years, I hoped NPR, NYTimes, or the ghost of Gimlet would make a video game podcast. A weekly, hour-long audio magazine with essays, interviews, tight editing, and a cheeky sense of humor.
Nobody made the show I wanted to hear.
So, I made it myself.
Here's the first episode of Post Games.

Look I’m not complaining…
But my entire #bluesky #feed is birds. Like every post is #photography of #birds. Am I being targeted by the bird lobby? Am I, unknowingly, a loaf of stale bread?

It has been a dreary and rainy week in Philly, which means muddy boots for me and rich, watered soil for the city plants. As I listen to Mort Garson’s Plantasia, I feel thankful for the green leaves of the local trees, fat with droplets from the sky🍃💧

I’m viciously aware of the irony of this post, but I cannot shake the self conscious feeling that everything I put on social media has to be produced and curated, every thought whittled down to its pith. The feeling paralyzed me and keeps me from sharing my thoughts. I aim to change this in myself.

Willow appreciation post. As I’m getting ready to start #gradschool in the Fall, I can’t fully express how thankful I am for this little #dog. She got me through some tough nights living alone in Philly, and I am grateful that she will be with me for moral support as I start this new chapter
