Did… all the universities hire the same consulting company last year?
WTF.
WTF.
This is terrible. Ursinus College (where my partner works) spent last year planning a reorganization (they’re creating multidisciplinary “hubs”) only for its administration to announce layoffs this semester. I hope this isn’t in the cards for those working at Montclair State

Another one of my colleagues weighs in on the “restructuring” of our home college. This time in the Wall Street Journal. It’s paywalled, so screenshots to follow.

All of my father’s cousins (… and 2nd cousins) are aunt or uncle to my generation. And my generation calls each other cousin.
Also… my neighbor’s son calls me aunt. But i don’t think he does that intentionally.

At my last job I had coworkers - who were required to have a master’s degree - that were paid so little that they needed to use benefits.
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

We recently had a medical event in our family - everything is fine, full recovery is eminent.
But I have come to understand the uselessness of offering “let me know if you need anything” when compared to just doing or offering something specific.
Don’t make me plan your kindness. I’m too busy.

My mother: why don’t you go to church anymore?
Me: because this is what they tried to teach me.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

I enjoy explaining this over, and over, and over to my mother.
"VAERS is emphatically NOT a system for determining whether vaccines cause specific problems. It's a collection of unverified reports that can include literally anything that happens after vaccination." #MedSky

I got my flu and covid vax today, no problem. In OH…
Lots of people asking why isn't my state issuing COVID vaccine executive orders?
In most states you can already get vaccines without prescriptions, including: AL, AK, AR, CA, CT, DE, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, ND, NH, NJ, OH, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WY

I don’t think AI is going to go rogue or even steal all the jobs. I think AI is going to create an AI spam/slop heap that’s so colossal in size, it will corrupt everything online. Information pollution. A literal Internet of Shit. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

When she gets overstimulated she flattens herself against the floor to calm down. And then restarts the zoomies all over again.

I am currently explaining the finer points of “cow patty bingo” to my friends who grew up in suburban America.
… so you just wait for it to poop?

Three years ago, this guy showed up on our deck looking for water in the 90 degree heat. He got way more than he bargained for and has the unlucky fortune of sleeping on a couch and watching his stories all day.

The Cuyahoga River would like to join the conversation.
Without a research arm to support its regulatory arm, Americans will get sicker, and preventable deaths will go up.
The EPA was started by (Republican!) President Richard Nixon in 1970. Some of its first regulations were to ban DDT and leaded gasoline, as well as the Clean Air and Water Acts.

The Great Chocolate Chip Cookie Project continues with number 56: a mix from World Market. Good flavor, a little dry, but probably good for dunking or making ice cream sandwiches.
On the book of faces, we called this a Cookie Warning so that my friends/neighbors would know when to visit.
