"Tampon Tim" is actually a win for the Dems. Today at @nursingclio I break it down: "MAGAs may find that voters are no more eager to go back “on the rag” and into the menstrual closet than they are to lose their reproductive freedoms." https://t.co/hgSPuUUOS6

I've been trying to make it make sense but it just doesn't. The mountains of North Carolina, places like Asheville, Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Boone, Chimney Rock, the list goes on; places and people I know well and have for over two decades...

Does the university campus you work at have drainage infrastructure outside? Trying to see something.

A good tell is deep puddles when it rains, or if you don't see grates in the ground or gutter-like drains running alongside paths

@Hayden_L_Nelson Lol. By this time last year, there had to be like 10 or 12 environmental-focused positions. It was crazy!

[Kristin Brig-Ortiz 💧 @PoxyGraduate]

@Hayden_L_Nelson I also applied for a few government positions, so keep in mind that takes up time as well (not as much as academic positions, but you can get sucked in)

[Kristin Brig-Ortiz 💧 @PoxyGraduate]

@Hayden_L_Nelson Roughly 48-50. It also really depends on what's available in a given year. i.e. this year kinda sucks for env hist/hum compared to last
