I have had "The Way" by Fastball stuck in my head for well over a week now. I blame @hankgreen and @sportswithjohn
(Would someone please send me a new earworm?)
When I try to explain to people what I miss about Twitter from the Before Times, it's stuff like this
My local news is quoting Sylvia Plath in their weather reporting. @coereba and @LeemanKessler should we be concerned?
Both horrifying and 100% foreseeable
1. A Florida school district has removed @MerriamWebster's Dictionary for Students from library shelves, saying it may violate a law championed by @RonDeSantis
No, this is not a parody.
🧵
Just watched the latest video about nerdfighters joining forces to take on price-gouging pharma companies and am in awe. @johngreen and @hankgreen please only ever use your powers for good
Repainting my office, and now I really want @failbettergames to sell full size posters of their London Horticultural Show graphics
A thought for my ed folks (esp. @BryanAlexander ): the Teen is currently taking a class on war literature and PTSD, with a focus on All Quiet on the Western Front. While talking about it last night, he didn't seem to view hiding in an occupied coffin as specifically...
...traumatic. His response was something along the lines of "that's what anyone would do if they were being shot at." Which raises a question for me: is the normalization of horror (active shooter drills, etc) affecting students' ability to read things like this...
there is a guy across the street with a literal scythe and I had never imagined Death wearing cargo shorts before but who am I to judge?
Here's a fun* thing about being forced out of academia: getting semi-regular mail saying "remember us? that job/grant you didn't get ages ago? well guess who's had a data breach!"
*not even remotely fun

So yesterday, our cat Inky had what must have been, for his little cat brain, a genuine horror experience.
(he is fine)
First of all, you need to understand that he hates the broom.

Shameless plug: Really proud to have been a tiny bit of this project. The story is amazing and more people should know about it. We'll be adding a link to stream the finished film soon

Ohioans! Consider bringing donuts to your local election officials who just had their summer ruined so miscarriages can be treated as crime scenes

I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.
My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.
Caroline was told that a puberty blocker would relieve her child's psychological distress. That's not what happened.

At least the cemetery committee hasn't had to deal with this particular problem (yet)
