I'm getting a lot of followers who may not know me, and I tend to only retweet if there's a concrete political action these days, so...
If you think trans rights are up for debate, or if you voted for Trump, or if you think the US arming Israel is just peachy, I don't want you around.

Happy World Anteater Day to Gloria and McCauley!
Giant anteaters, like Zoo Boise's couple, are able to flick their two-foot-long tongues in and out 150 times per minute.

Always check the price of the ice cream at the little wine shop within walking distance of your solidly gentrified neighborhood.
I checked the cheese price but assumed the ice cream price and that's how I ended up paying $15 for a pint of salted caramel ice cream.

The good thing about taking my toddler on the bus for a leisurely museum and park visit: now I feel virtuous enough to say "cool now we're watching movies for the rest of the evening."

So dumb when interior decorating content is like "we're loving this color in for fall," I don't paint my walls or reupholster my furniture seasonally! No one does! Its such weird framing unless you're specifically talking about holiday decorations, which they are not.

Buying new sheets worked, should I become a momfluencer, how can I monetize this.
My friend's baby started having sleep issues, and I'm the person to come to if you want unusual advice: "have you tried buying new sheets?" "Give them an empty plastic water bottle and take it away once they're asleep." "Show them pictures of the bed & talk about it (yes I know they're only 8mo)"

Going to get even more severe on this point: under Woke 2 the only allowable magazine profiles will be of Hero Workers and their enriching hobbies. Anything else is too corrosive to our shared society
i have a new idea: every time someone wants to write one of those "everybody's buying red cars lately-- is Masculinity in Crisis" they should just interview one random person about the stuff they're into and publish that as the article.

my takeaway from this letter is that glenn youngkin, rector sheridan and their flunkies on the board are deeply dishonest people who are engaged, with the trump administration, in a mob-style shakedown against the university of virginia
Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.
It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

I recently took a bus that went through College Station. I watched the TX A&M student next to me do the entirety of his engineering assignment by retyping the answers chatgpt gave him. So perhaps the university should be more worried about that than policing professors.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

The modern gender stereotype I least relate to is "women just stay stoic and busy while they're sick (unlike men who are huge babies)". When I have a cold, I am dying on the couch like a Victorian maiden and complaining to everyone I know and demanding tea and taking any sick days I have.
