First place: Weighted blankets
Second: Heated blankets
Third: Quilts
Fourth: Dogs 50 pounds and above
Fifth: Cats, smaller dogs
Sixth: Fluffy blankets and throws
…Last: Bedspreads

Me and my heated blanket go together real bad. It’s an emotional attachment at this point lmao

Huh. Not wearing her cross necklace today.
Reporter: Why won't the administration confirm or deny whether or not there were a survivors after that initial first strike? What imminent threat would survivors pose who were clinging presumably to the wreckage of that boat?

Leavitt: You guys are not listening fully to the statement I provided.

I do not like that universities feel the need to “brand” themselves. Find your “identity” as a department, they say. Revise your “mission.” I believe our mission is advancing knowledge in all areas. That hasn’t changed in a thousand years.

Cool cool.

🧪PSA
VAERS is not a reliable source of data. Prasad (not a vaccine expert) is spreading misinformation.

Yesterday’s FDA memo claiming the COVID vaccine killed 10 children relies on unverified VAERS reports, while ignoring existing real pediatric COVID data. A sparkling example of cherry picking.

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. I love that he shared this story over and over
A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:

Someone recently described me as “direct” (derogatory). At first I panicked - once a woman is seen as “difficult,” you can hear doors slamming everywhere. And then I remembered how hard I’ve worked to overcome being a people-pleaser, and the great things that came from it. So I’m good for now. 🤞🏼

RIP to a magnificent talent
As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. as @heidikitrosser.bsky.social has noted, the northwestern faculty had just voted overwhelmingly against exactly this kind of capitulation.
BTW, any story about a possible Northwestern capitulation should include this detail (screenshot is from the oped linked below)

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
