This has been the viewpoint on guns for a long time. The right to own a gun has been seen as more important than the right of children to be safe at school.

“The reason we’re having a measles outbreak is because of the Covid lockdowns, because people didn’t — children during that period did not get vaccinated.” It’s a day that ends in Y, so RFK Jr. is lying again. The antivax movement and his incompetence are why we have an ongoing measles outbreak.

Ok so here is how I get my writing done. A few caveats: 1. I am at a teaching u. I teach 4 classes a semester, minimum. This impacts my time & my focus. Since most academic jobs are at 4/4 or 5/4, there needs to be more discussions. 2. I am NOT in a book field. 3. We are all on our own journey

Academics who write during term (i.e. while teaching): 1. How many classes do you teach per term? 2. How often do you write (e.g. once/wk, when you can, etc.)? 3. When do you write (e.g. weekend, morning, at night, etc.)? 4. What's the biggest barrier(s) to you writing? 5. Do you have any tips?

The scribe appears inside a large, illuminated letter E that is blue. Within the E the background is made up of small dark blue squares with a circle in each square, almost like the wall behind the clerk is a quilt. The background outside the letter E is similar to the background in the letter E, only it is made up of red squares instead of blue ones. Reference: Durham Cathedral Library MS A.II.3 f.279v

1. 4 classes a semester minimum. 2. I try to have at least one writing day a week. 3. During the workday. 4. The fact that I teach so much. It is a delicate balance. 5. Block off time in your calendar as writing times.

Had some plums that were a bit... Overripe so I made a plum galette. Putting it unbaked in the freezer & now I have a dessert whenever I need one.

Late birthday presents to myself. The French Patisserie book is basically a class on basic French Patisserie and Viennoiserie with amazing pictures & tutorials. And Sift has great descriptions on how baking... Works (plus a canele recipe that looks amazing!).

This is a great article. When I worked in Huntingtons disease as a SWer, I dealt with this a lot, made more difficult by people not understanding that they could not safely drive. A couple of added thoughts: 1) There is a giant caregiver burden here (who drives people to appts)

The demographic reality is inescapable: We are going to have millions more older drivers with diminishing capabilities, in cars that are too big and too dangerous for everyone around them, with few satisfactory alternatives to driving. It will not end well.

Took some time this morning for a family hike at the nature reserve near our house. How did I end up with outdoorsy kids? My oldest said he wants to go fishing which... Why? How? Anyway we touched grass and it was fun.

For our rainy day activity my son and I made cakepops with... Varying levels of success. Some of the cakepops did not hold together. But Sy had a fun time and was asking when we can make them again so win!

I fucked up my challah today and had to restart it. So just a reminder that not every baked good comes out perfect, and you need to restart, even if it is something you have made a million times!

I was thinking this morning about how sci fi focused on how machines will kill us all and not how we will use up all our water using said machines to create gen ai pics of dogs.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Today I had birthday cake! I made a chocolate cake with a whipped caramel filling and covered with a whipped chocolate ganache. Will try this again when I don't have a one year old who wants to help but it was really yummy. I added some caramel shards on top.

Nate gave me an afternoon to myself and then took me out for an early birthday dinner (my birthday is going to be observed on Weds this year). So what did I do with my time off? Ate and bought books. Then Nate & I went to an amazing pastry shop & had BBQ. Yes that mango & cloud are mousse cakes!

2 books I bought: dungeon crawler carl by Matt Dinniman & Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.2 pastries: a mango with a mango and a passion fruit mousse in it and a cloud cake with some mousse in it. I forgot what it was.I had ice cream at JP Licks bc of course I did. My father did not raise a kid who would say no to ice cream. Meat on sticks, pan fries noodles, bbq chives, and a smashed cucumber salad.

This is one of the best explanations I can see for Trump. I know there has been a media creation of him but the way so many people follow him is just so.... Wtf.

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 3w ago

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

This is amazing resource of public administration & public policy professors and scholars. I will be using this in my LGBTQ politics class and this might be good for research on policy changes over time.

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!
