The coup at Theory & Society is complete. After the ed board resigned, the 2 editors handpicked by Springer installed a new board entirely comprised of cognitive scientists, social psychologists, org sociologists, sociobiologists, b school profs, & folks into evolutionary theory

I’ll be mispronouncing words like “haphazard”, “melancholy”, and “hors d'oeuvres” for the rest of my life.

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

What many people don’t realize is that *they* are possibly one Covid infection (or any other illness) away from becoming someone with a disability or chronic health problem or underlying condition themselves. You know, someone “high risk.” People are healthy…until they’re not.

[Jon Levy @jonlevyBU]

I can't believe this needs to be said in 2022, but public health does not mean health care for lots of people. Public health means trying to prevent people from getting sick in the first place, and putting policies in place that protect the most vulnerable.

ME WATCHING ANY MARVEL MOVIE AFTER ENDGAME:

If you stopped using masks indoors after getting vaccinated, now is a good time to mask up again. If you've been wearing cloth masks, consider upgrading to more-protective N95/KN95 masks.
