The "unlikely alliance" meme of two muscular arms grasping hands; one arm is labeled "unitarians," the other is labeled "jews," and the handclasp is labeled "organized religions without beliefs"

Three weeks ago, I lived this video. $850 later, my car brakes like it found somebody who owes it money.

Something happened here.
A screenshot of a threaded conversation with an elided middle, where the beginning of the thread is about keeping an eye out for blocking British transphobes on BSky and the end is about heat damage to catenary wires on electric trains.

Today in baffling HR questions:
A screenshot of an online form that says "Race: Please check one or more of the following:" with the choices "Non-Citizen," "Perm Res/Eligible Non-Citizen," and "US Citizen." It is permitted to check more than one box.

My new favorite footnote:
Text that says "See, e.g., Emily M. Farris and Mirya Holman, THE POWER OF THE BADGE: SHERIFFS AND INEQUALITY IN THE UNITED STATES (Chicago: University of Chicago Press) (2024); see also Alyx Mark, COURTS UNMASKED: CIVIL LEGAL SYSTEM REFORM AND COVID-19: (Lawrence, KS: University of Kansas Press) (forthcoming 2025); see also Taneisha Means, ROBED REPRESENTATIVES: HOW BLACK JUDGES ADVOCATE IN AMERICAN COURTS (Palo Alto, CA: Stanford University Press) (forthcoming 2025)."

Now that all the paperwork has been signed, and more importantly, the "I got a job!" picture has been taken, very pleased to announce that in August I am joining the faculty at
Willamette University College of Law! We're sorry to be leaving our Kansas friends but excited at our Oregon adventure!

Reskeet with a banger picture of your cat.
A perfect burnt loaf. (A black cat with all four paws tucked under, looking up at the camera.)

Farewell, sweet prince. Titus A. Krell, 2007-2024. Best of cats and best of kittens.
Me and Titus looking at the camera, both of us unutterably smug.

We are feeling very bad and have been refusing food and water all day. We're going to the vet first thing in the morning, very likely for an end-of-life decision.

Photo from a happier time.
Titus, a gray and white cat wearing a pink ribbon and being kind of mad about it.

Look, this isn't me, I've never lived in California.
Text about geographical sorting that mentions someone named Matthew Krall who moved to Tennessee because he didn't like that California elects Democrats.
