Wha … what do you mean the denim jumpsuit I got on depop is “vintage 2003” excuse me?
Unfair that I took god’s greatest nap from 3-5:30 pm and now it’s 3:42 am and I cannot sleep as punishment

Special place in hell for faculty who steal student ideas and don’t give them credit. 🔥
Check us out! Fun stuff afoot tonight ... <3

You ever just have a playlist rolling and subconsciously just start singing the Weird Al version of a song?
Waffled between grading essays, watching hockey, and wondering if WWIII was gonna implode tonight. This shit has become normal Tuesday fare and I’m both floored by that feeling and also numb to it. Does that make any sense? Is that odd? Being a millennial truly is trash like that I suppose.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
We are watching a dangerous and unfit President drag this country toward catastrophe — and Republicans refuse to act. Invoke the 25th Amendment. Do your fucking job.
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
This pisses me off on a professional and personal level like what kinda glue is this state huffing ??
Perhaps my most milquetoast take of the year so far is that I genuinely like my Allbirds shoes. They’re comfy and stand up to what I need out of a shoe. Now as for the company, read the news, something about reaping what you sow etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Saint Paul is set to welcome tens of thousands for the No Kings march. MNRD stands alongside our brave community, as we could not exist without our amazing and supportive community. Saturday evening we will be hosting our home team championship bout, and hope you will join us after the march.
ICE detentions without sufficient probable cause or due process continue in Minnesota. ICE Air flights are still operating at MSP. On March 10, they decreased to twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Volunteer observers, coordinated by MN50501, remain committed to observing every flight. 🧵 Recap
POV nothing is an emergency at 10:30 pm your email can wait until the morning.
Cool shit du jour, I’m learning/doing very rudimentary CAD and 3D printing stuff to make lil prototype skate parts. Today it’s a pivot cup for a hard-to-find plate.
Had a deeply normal Saturday and now I’m feeling like … woah, life could be like this? 👀
Who asked me at #4C26 if I wanted to start a writing group? Who was that? Because yes. But I forgot who this was.
Hey academia, we gotta stop taking ideas from other people in the year of our Lord 2026. If that which we call plagiarism would get you 86'd in grad school, what makes it okay to do now that we're on the other side? At LEAST cite the people you're in conversation with. It takes ~1min to do.
The most important part of this day was when the living room roomba escaped and clashed with the kitchen roomba. “Battle bots,” I yelled to myself. (I am 12)
Not everyone needs to, nor wants to, use LLMs in academic research, and Taylorizing the scholarly enterprise does nothing positive for the pursuit of a better understanding of society and the world.
I feel like we should be talking about this a lot more, Saint Paul.
Wes Burdine@wesburdine.bsky.social · 5mo agoHaven’t seen anything in the two papers about Mayor Her denying an independent investigation into the police response to the Nov 25 police assault of citizens and journalists www.georgiafort.com/post/saint-p...
Okay, so. AS PROMISED, here's some snippets of what's been happenin' since ... uh, August. A lot of (??!!) because sometimes time is weird and I don't know what my life is about.
