I just tried to read a @forbes article and got three separate popups over it. If you don't want me reading your content, just say so.

@AnnaWSears No worries. It happens to a lot of accounts. I hope if I start peddling weight loss tips, someone will let me know too. :)

Happy Earth Day everyone. To celebrate, I spent this morning away from the laptop and phone, hiking then gardening. Now, work.

@ThisRosencranz I'm sure that's true of many state systems. Some are getting better at this. I don't doubt that some are getting worse.

@ThisRosencranz I'd argue that academia as a whole is quite diverse. But rising cost is certainly going to have an effect on that.

[American Water Blog @USWaterBlog]

@ThisRosencranz Certainly something to watch and worry about. Academia isn't helping its case with sky-high tuition or paywalled research.

@missmolamola I go to the market and it just gets weirder. Blocked as well.
