This was uncharacteristic of me! Thanks to @belinaraffy.bsky.social for this class! And to my fellow comedians from @climatena.bsky.social for all you do to tend big feelings in big times, for making me laugh and think, and for helping me make my jokes better. www.theguardian.com/culture/ng-i...

This is extremely alarming?! Words like this, even if they are only threats right now, can lead to devastating escalation. There have been dire close calls in the past, and the international architecture to prevent nuclear war is dangerously fragile right now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My hashtag #NFNow25 hasn't taken off. But doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different result is the definition of persistence. Excited for this @manjula.bsky.social @latriagraham.bsky.social @maggiemertens.bsky.social @rahawahaile.bsky.social and @emilystrasser.bsky.social

Happy to be at TN Tech for #appstudies2025! Find Half-Life at the @kentuckypress.bsky.social table, and me at the Power of Stories panel at 9:30 am Saturday. #appalachianstudies, #ruralreimagined
