One of the programs I've been wanting to learn has some training available through Udemy, which I can access for free through my county library!
I've dabbled with map tools, and want to learn ArcGIS.

Visited the local cat cafe today with the family. Teen now wants to adopt a bonded pair.
We already have 3 cats.
It's a pair of orange tabby and white boys.

A colleague mentioned red meat being bad for diverticulitis. Quick search and I found a study Harvard did.
On men.
I'm sure there's more out there, but side eye to studies with limited representation.

Last year I'd signed up for a customer rewards program that wasn't free. Went to log into my account on the store's website but no info there about the program.
Used thier contact us form, hopefully they can figure it out.

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions.
This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

It's bad enough that our international students are being disappeared and having visas randomly revoked. Then people chime in about following the law and supporting terrorists.

It’s time to arrest the president. Something must happen or we are going to rapidly see the loss of all freedoms we enjoy. I don’t know what else needs to happen for every fucking alarm to be ringing. Read this piece on what they demanded of Harvard.

Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands (Gift Article)
Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions and report international students who broke rules, among other steps. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

🚨 Also—The Trump admin is going back into the database where they quietly changed students' immigration statuses to now quietly change the reason why, to simply: "Other"
Some say this isn't just to back away from previously weak rationale, but to make it harder for students to try being reinstated.

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why.
Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.
One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

Trump Is Trying to Deport Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted
What began with Mahmoud Khalil has now expanded into widespread immigration status revocations with no explanation and little apparent recourse.

I was scheduled to give a talk on Palestine at a student conference at @notredame.bsky.social. The University rescinded my talk a week in advance citing an extremely flimsy excuse. It is truly disgusting. Attached is the letter I received and my reply, link below...
