Decided to schedule both non dooming and dooming, per therapist suggestion. I'm looking at cool art and watching silly things while kitty and I lounge around. We are both very sleepy and cozy.

I’m here to crack nuts and take…

Whaddya mean I did this already? It’s show 1?!

1. This is wonderful. 2. Warning for some flashing lights on the stage.
Weird Al gets that some song lyrics are too important to be parodied.
We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

I sincerely hope everyone does chargebacks on their reg fee. NGL AGU should just be virtual this year.

I'm not going to AGU but this is a good reason not to. Decades ago, AGU stopped using NO for Ocean Sciences to protest David Duke. Here it's the Feds, not Louisiana, that's the problem, but you want Red states to check the Feds out of self-interest
@agu.org is in a tricky situation with the federal paramilitaries in New Orleans — they can’t make security promises if they aren’t sure they can keep them, and if the state-run convention authority is telling them they can’t bar warrantless agents, they can’t promise to do so.

Last minute Hanukkah shopping and I ran across sticker earrings, now consumed by the most vivid sense memories of my tin of them as a kid.

Well if you attended a scientific congress in, er, a white nationalist police state, this is the preparation you'd expect.
Recommending that visitors have their passports on them at all times...I couldn't with good conscience recommend that my students attend AGU. What a sad, terrible situation
We are closely following the operations ongoing in New Orleans and will continue to update this page as we have more information.

You can currently find some additional guidance at the links at the bottom; we will update with more as we have it. www.agu.org/agu25-neworl...

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

Re-upping for the end of the week. Did you know I'm authorized to live and work in three different anglophone countries? That's *three nations* that have a chance to hire me and win this prize.
Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

Got 94/100 on the forensics final, so I can say I did okay in at least one class.

It shouldn't surprise me that I'm having trouble with a take home final tonight after a few hours of teaching in a different language, and yet somehow it surprises me all the same.

Hi everyone. Alexis hasn't gotten any help, and my husband and I have some important bills we cannot ignore or put off. Our hands are pretty tied. My Xmas gifts and even food donations are often on credit, paid off, and then I used credit again.

Please help! 🙏 #MutualAid

Mr. Mow had never had the opportunity to sniff my hands while I've cooked with celery before and I was reminded he reacts to it by nearly losing a hand.

Ending day 3 of #artAdventCalendar with 472 participants. A fair bit slower than last year where we had 625 on day 1 (!!)

but still good numbers and most importantly...great posts.

Be sure to let your artist friends on here know what a cool thing this is.

The most Donald Trump thing ever would be to try to match his number of bankruptcies with his number of mis-managed pandemics.
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air.

After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed.

Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.
