Boss gave me an "Easter cactus" for my birthday in April. It apparently likes its home.

Or this is the last hurrah before sudden death...

Reggie sits like this fairly regularly. Flat back legs sticking staight out, butt on the ground. Why?

Listening to one of my grad students explain how tariffs work to one of my undergrads today... priceless.

Neither are econ majors or anything. Just chatting (with charts and diagrams) on a break.

Mini thinks being on the top of the pile means she's the queen... but Fifi in her own designated bed behind them knows the truth.

The President of the United States is a traitor to America and Ukraine.

Trump has betrayed America’s values and ended the era of Pax Americana.

This is not an American Presidency, this is a coup.

I made this for a friend. Still believe the sentiment.

Peace and make it justice.

A student just looked in my office and loudly proclaimed, "that's a mess in there!"

I might need an intervention.

Fifi begins her apprenticeship today... (We are having some trees removed, and she is giving her unsolicited advice on the process).

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.
