I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’ve also gone analog in my advanced undergrad seminar on identity this quarter. Students keep reading/seminar notebooks—questions, confusions, insights—and complete several field exercises, including a “seeing identity in the world” task.

I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I love this song. I am not ashamed. I am thrilled every time I see this commercial, which is not nearly often enough!
"Dog Park Song" Forever!
"Dog Park Song" Forever!
With a heavy heart and extreme reluctancy I think I have to admit that… I can’t believe I am going to say this out loud… the “dog park” song from the Progressive ads is a banger.
I will not be taking questions at this time.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

UM scientists keep trying — and failing — to give people the flu
A UM College Park professor wanted to see how the flu transmits so he stuck a bunch of sick students in a hotel with healthy adult volunteers. This is what he found. I plan to talk to the researcher and...

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I have a hard telling the Tufted Titmice apart, but I can recognize this one. This bird has a bit of fluff on the left wing. This feather has been like this since last Fall. It'll eventually molt away but for now it's fun to tell when this particular little one is around.

This is terrible. I hope state attorneys general look into these policies.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.
