!!! I don’t often listen to audio dramas, but I am beyond excited to relive the book that got me obsessed with learning Welsh for a bit in junior high (if only there were more Welsh resources in Southern California!).

The New York Times is surveying people of Middle Eastern / North African descent for an upcoming project. Excited to see what comes out of this. https://t.co/LLgR0U7ASO

I haven’t licked an envelope in over two decades without thinking of George Costanza.

This is an emergency. There will be a public comment period for 30 days where people can express their feelings about this horrifying, transphobic policy. Please make a comment and PLEASE participate in local and state elections.

NEW: Twin studies from @ERN_Reformers examine the election results certification process in the U.S. & abroad. We find that while party-affiliated officials are in charge of this process in most states, such practices are rare in peer democracies. [THREAD] https://t.co/RhOZd6FMDo

At trivia last night, one of the answers was Guardians of the Galaxy. My friend read it and went, “Oh well, I don’t know what that is.”
Turns out he hasn’t heard of most Marvel movies and thought they made 3 or 4 movies total.
This man holds the secrets to a peaceful existence.

I’m finally learning how to properly write RMarkdown files and use Git in my new job. Watch out, datasets!! I’m coming for you!!

I’ve noticed it’s already how a lot of centrist Democrats already try to sell their programs to conservative audiences, at least during my lifetime. I fall into that mental trap myself a fair amount.

The fact the only way to get any damn thing done in the United States is through the purview of national security is going to have strange consequences.

@blaiddxdrwg ALSO OF COURSE HE IS since his whole schtick is “girl -> young woman pursued by dashing time traveler throughout her life.”

[Sarah Cole @colectivefarm]

@blaiddxdrwg OMFG I DIDN’T REALIZE IT WAS MOFFAT ADAPTING IT. I have ranted about both Moffat and The Time-Traveler’s Wife (which was unfortunately gifted to me when I would read literally anything lying about), so I can’t wait to combine those rants to even greater heights.

✨clears throat loudly✨ I'm so excited to share that my young adult nonfiction book about teen activists is getting published! I've spent the last 2 years reporting, and I can't wait for you all to delve into the movements that Nalleli, Kahlila and Sonia have been fighting for.

Being frustrated by putting hours into applying for jobs (and sometimes getting far along the interview process) just to not get them is one thing, but being ghosted by multiple dentists because my dental plan is so bad is where I’m starting to lose it 😭

[Sarah Cole @colectivefarm]

Not me asking myself for the hundredth time: do I need a career change, or just a job with halfway decent health, dental, and vacation time so I can just stop and breathe again?

@liamerivaki Guenther steals every scene he’s in!! So glad he got to fulfill his dream of being in an Aldi catalogue. Haas just out here sowing nothing but chaos in the 2021 season.
