I don’t make the rules 🤷♀️☂️
You see it, you share it. Them's the rules.
The Other Place had a number of traditions which hopefully will make it over to BlueSky. On an entirely unrelated note, I saw this, and had to share. ☔😄

Seriously, they held signs up at the RNC about this and got basically no pushback on what it would actually look like.
One of the reasons that we chose to write our big report on mass deportations is that nobody was asking these questions.

Empathy is my new buzzword. So much of the recent WTF seems like a failure of empathy. I spend a lot of time in the administrative law world and most of that is empathy failure too. Thinking more about this ATM… also, here is a picture of Dr Mr PJ for those missing him from the Bad Place.

Goodbye to the One Letter Bad Place and hello Bluesky! Seriously experiencing some disbelief at the nature of humanity and the utter failure of empathy that has been the US election. It’s a bit beyond words, so please enjoy (??) this cat meme. 🖤💔

Me: Can I get reimbursed for this?
University: Yes, but you'll need to jump through several unpredictable hoops, confront multiple technical hitches, and we will lose your request. It will be the most difficult process you've ever experienced. Shall I send you the forms?
