Chief Policy Officer, Michigan Association of State Universities. Trustee, Library of Michigan. MSU 06 / UChicago CIR 07 / MSU HALE PhD 24. She/her, but I grew up with pockets. Former husband & current wife of a wife. Personal account, skeets are my own.
Michigan, the home of such political legends as: Car Guy (gender neutral) Union Steward Since the 1950s Wine Mom With Aggressive Accent Camo Man Who Lives in the Woods and Also Has 43 Guns On Him Right Now Old Lady Who Definitely Didn't Move to Macomb Because Racism Bureaucrat Drinking Craft Beer
AES won 11 of the 12 counties where Michigan has federally recognized Indian tribes. He campaigned in some of these places, met with tribal leaders and representatives, and organized here. Sadly, this isn't a common thing in statewide races in Michigan.
We're getting a doll in the House (presuming we keep our foot on the gas)! Congrats, @joannawhaley.bsky.social!
Conference first: hearing "walk of shame" on mic at #SHEEO26
At #SHEEO26 listening to a (good) conversation on building civic responsibility in graduates featuring Pres. Keller from UNT. All I can think of is wondering how his colleagues at other TX institutions are supposed to be doing that and protecting faculty while banning academic discussion of gender
train broke :( gonna have to go 59 mph instead of 110 mph and we're already quite late
Hey so I'm going to be in Chicago all this week for work. Any moots wanna get together for dinner / drinks on Wednesday? @transfem.my @telsie.bsky.social @apicturedrock.bsky.social Who else is down there?
Not a *band*, but Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, and Another Green World slaps pretty hard. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street is likewise a pretty impressive run from around the same time.

I'm sure I can think of a bunch of other perfect trios but these are the ones that instantly come to mind and its a damn shame not that many people know of PRR.

You ever think about how Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper came out in a single stretch of 19 months

Holy shit, so this is what people mean by "my notifications are destroyed"
I see a lot of people saying answers that aren't Moving Pictures, Signals and Grace Under Pressure for some reason

I thought about it and I agree this is probably the best rush album run, although you could move it one up and say signals, p/g, pow However to answer the question I'm gonna go with songs from the wood, heavy horses, stormwatch because that era of jethro tull stands out so strongly as my favorite

I was in a similar position as Christina when it came to university operations. There weren't even masks available. We had students coming & going from spring break that week from ALL OVER THE WORLD and we operate dense dorms and cafs. Isolation is hard in a system designed & named for collegiality
Christina Stephens (summer)@christinastephens.bsky.social · 3d agoI am trying to avoid this discourse because I was in the room during these discussions and it pisses me off, but people are considering tools we have today (rapid tests, kn95s, vaccines, antivirals, experience) in decisions that had to be made with no tools other than “leave room for Jesus”
OP's take is top notch, one of my most agreed with ones of all time, which is amazing because so many music takes are horrible on here and the old site. But here's mine from Iron Maiden: Powerslave Somewhere in Time Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Been feeling pretty weird all day with a reaction to a wasp sting and maybe a respiratory infection, so I guess it's time to eat salt directly out of the salt cellar and some blueberries Thanks, brain, great call

Hey Lanstronauts, anybody want a free ticket to the Royal Coda show at Grewal tonight? I'm wiped out.
Good lord y'all, Bob Dole would not be a "centrist Dem" today. He: wanted to slash social programs and taxes and amend the constitution to ban abortion, campaigned against affirmative action and undocumented immigration, and called every 20th Century war a "Democrat war"
The wife really thinks I should take acting or improv classes And like, sure, I love attention, but if I didn't when I lived in Chicago as a white guy in my early 20s...
