I love Bsky and agree with the criticism of NYTimes coverage. But I think we all are overestimating its ability to shape the national discourse alone. Or influence the remaining 6 undecided voters. Seems like we’re a little too drunk on the “paper of record” kool aid.

Hate that we live in a country where we’re forcibly reminded everyday of the existence of Trump and Musk. So exhausting to have so much attention trained on these narcissistic man-babies

I guess I lack the requisite verstehen and imagination to understand how anyone could believe that Dems control the weather and could manufacture a hurricane. WTF is this crazy talk. I’m sorry but it is just so so so dumb.

Qualitative researchers: does anyone know of a good introduction video or resource on AtlasTI? One that covers the basics of coding in the program. I have a student new to Atlas who’s looking for one.

Thank you to those who have followed me in the past few days. As a recovering Twitter user I’m still figuring out how I’ll use this platform. But generally I’m interested in dissecting and understanding the challenges and failings of our mental health ‘system.’

I’m both impressed with - and concerned by - many of my academic peers’ ability to post across 3,4,5 different platforms. I can barely muster the energy/courage to open one. This new (hopefully temporary) normal is too much
