My sister, on the phone with customer support: I work in IT and that’s a terrible idea.

Out doing errands in my little Utah town and spotted a #NoKings protester ❤️
I can! Unless I’m somewhere new/interesting to look at, then I’m also gawking. 🙂

Beating authoritarians will take all of us rowing in the directions - all of us - different colors, shapes, sex, economic background - all of us.

Let’s celebrate everyone who came out and is coming out and marching to say #NoKings.

This American is grateful. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙌🏻
A successful protest movement requires as broad a coalition as possible.

If you’re recoiling from the support of mainstream privileged segments of society, you’re not trying to win the fight, you’re just trying to win personal praise.
Honestly, this is the biggest reason I am very pro public transit and passenger rail.

Link's ban is wrong and should be reversed.
We got some new anatomical models in today, so the equipment manager is wandering around the library showing off their new spine.

“It is well known that a vital ingredient of success is not knowing that what you're attempting can't be done. A person ignorant of the possibility of failure can be a half-brick in the path of the bicycle of history.”

This is just going to depress me, isn’t it?
Meanwhile, someone is spoiling Bleak House up in here.

People think there are no Roman history emergencies, right up to the day a sitting president proposes a triumphal arch. Now suddenly everyone needs a good handle on Titus and Constantine.
Never again will I volunteer myself to be the point person at a conference. Never. Again.
