RIP Thommy Price, the powerhouse drummer for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Billy Idol, who has died at 68. A force of rhythm and heart, his beats drove ‘Rebel Yell,’ rocked arenas, and defined decades of pure rock & roll energy.

This decision by UT’s administration is not driven by any educational reasons; after all, the departments facing elimination are full of field-defining, award-winning faculty. UT administrators are falling in lockstep with a nationwide political attack on the freedom to learn by censoring 2/

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

This is such a cute idea! Also the immature side of me would like to give a shout out to the kid that is helping to keep the Ben Dover joke going ❤️🤫😂

We got lots of fun Treat Monster name suggestions! Forgot how much fun library outreach can be.

A large piece of paper with “What should we name our treat monsters?” at the top and many names, some silly, some normal, in children’s handwriting. Three monsters are at the bottom.

*the paperwork says I’m 46, but I am on bluesky and therefore I am canonically 38, which feels more accurate tbh

I'm a furloughed federal worker. If I could give up my paycheck for a longer period of time so that the military gets paid, I absolutely would. They are out there fighting for us while their families are home worried about putting food on the table and keeping the lights on. It's not right.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise
