Yeah, sometimes I wish my accent didn't uncontrollably change depending on who I'm talking to, but then it wouldn't have been as fun to make Minnesota, West Virginia, and Baltimore phone calls back to back!

You can see most of the adaptations camels have for desert endurance: humps store fat, eyelashes protect eyes from sand, long guts absorb water, broad footpad for sand travel. But inside a camel's blood are adaptation you *haven't* seen. (...unless you collect camel blood.)

The government covid tests you’ll receive are probably going to look expired. They are not expired. Truly. Here are the extended dates. www.fda.gov/medical-devi... These are too few, ppl shouldn’t have to take the step to order them & N95s should be sent also. But saying they are expired is false.

Apropos the comments on this, every time I see one of those stories that says “the Boomers are set to make the greatest intergenerational transfer of wealth ever to Gen X” I think to myself “not if the cost of health care can manage otherwise.”

Read this. Pay attention to this. "Friday the two nations’ leaders announced the result, a three-part treaty. It makes history by setting up the orderly evacuation of an entire nation under threat of destruction by climate change. “Migration with dignity” is the preferred Pacific phrase."

This internal Automattic memo is making the rounds on Tumblr, indicating they’ve failed to get Tumblr activity/revenue up since its 2019 acquisition and it’ll now be maintained by a skeleton crew of Trust & Safety/support folks, with most of its 139 employees moving to other projects at Automattic.

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.

My primary job, social media management, didn’t even exist when I was in college. I learned to do it because I was taught to write, think on my feet, and have subject matter expertise. Chasing future “employability” through majors is a fools errand because they will change it on you every few years

These stories never tell you what is actually happening, which is emphatically NOT that humanities are disappearing from higher ed, but rather that public ed is being converted into vocational training for a working class while elite private universities for the rich will remain universities.
