Are there still delays? The Glenmont-bound train that just left Shady Grove is going remarkably slow - any reason why?

I’ve been waiting for Democrats to just crash TF out and say “ok bet, if there are no rules anymore, our platform is student loan forgiveness, erasure of credit card interest debt, eliminating interest rates over 5%, stopping spam calls to your cellphones, etc.” where is project 2028?

The really exasperating thing is all this ends if even a slight majority of white folks can accept that a multiracial democracy is the only viable route.

This was probably one of my favorite bits! I'm so glad you three wrote this. I actually was just talking with my class about Labov and went looking for some resources to share with them. This was definitely my favorite find this time. Thank you for this

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

Omgosh I’ve seen so many cicadas this week - not near any periodical cicadas sites this year. That’d be my choice but these are all so great 🥹

10 years ago this month, i defended my dissertation. i scrounged up two pictures from the day. linguistics is an odd, sometimes challenging field, but i’ve been incredibly privileged to learn and travel with great advisors, colleagues, and friends along the way 😌😌
Savi, Ryan, and Tessa smiling. Savi and Tessa have matching black rompers. Ryan has a blue tanktop that reads “Carol & Farrell & Karen & Sharon & Rachel”. Ryan looking at his computer while presenting to an audience. His dissertation committee members are sitting in the front row.
