@VicVijayakumar The best asparagus grows in a ditch. The locals won’t show you where but… they have a spot they’ve found across the years.

(Not kidding… it’s often thicker stems that aren’t woody… and often literally in a ditch in the middle of nowhere )

@VicVijayakumar I’ve taken up doing screencap recordings reminding where I’m at with some file work to help make sure I can pick up with what’s been done and what i should do next / in what order and the #DontForgeAboutThis

[Corn Flex @lisamcoffey]

@VicVijayakumar That might also reinforce … I’m bored, so I guess I’ll eat…

[Corn Flex @lisamcoffey]

@VicVijayakumar We had a Samsung fridge 💩out and couldn’t get a tech come to even see what the pro elem was due to the brand.

Here in a Midwest metro area no one would service that brand… so the next one we bought was not that brand

@VicVijayakumar I haven’t tried much of ‘clear liquor’ alternatives. I have tried a few of the brown liquor ones, but find it often upsets the ole tum 🫤

[Iowa Safe Schools @iowasafeschools]

Governor DeWine had the courage to do the right thing. Why didn’t @KimReynoldsIA stand up for parental rights? 🤔

Make no mistake - every major medical org in the US has affirmed GAC as lifesaving.

@VicVijayakumar Start taking a bottle to any holiday party you might go to and leave it there…

I know, new kiddo may mean less events, but even 1 will contribute to the cause

@VicVijayakumar We live in a world where some people need to get told ‘the rules apply to you. …’

And also in a world where some people need to get told…. ‘Take a deep breath & just let it go’

Airports are weird
They can be a great equalizer .. but also not (pre screen, diamond whatever,etc)

@MeanestTA My job: corn sex for a corn research lab at university

Right now I have a team of 15 undergraduates tasked with collecting traits on 30,000+ ears of corn this winter

[Corn Flex @lisamcoffey]

@VicVijayakumar I just wrapped a 11 hour day in the field with a 2.5 hour drive to field site

Checked I to the hotel with the team of undergrads I brought out and look forward to another 12 hour day tomorrow with them & 5 others coming tomorrow

@VicVijayakumar So…. I do love and appreciate the stars as a metric…

But I fall short of contributing to that system…

So, what I’m getting at is… be sure they like and subscribe…🥲

But super honestly, if they value the metric, encourage to contribute to the metric

[Corn Flex @lisamcoffey]

@VicVijayakumar Speaking of okra…. I’ve done some quick fridge pickling of it… is good

[Meaghan O'Connell @meaghano]

god this is a thrill. you're going to see a lot of wealthy white liberals argue for gentility and politeness on our march to death. because the status quo benefits them. I really hope we stop letting them get away with it.

[Zach Wahls @ZachWahls]

We don't need a new logo, we need a new governor.

People aren't leaving because of the logo. They're leaving because you're making our state less welcoming, attacking our public schools, and restricting the ability of Iowans to make our own choices.

@iamlakotak Is same @ on Venmo an option?

[Andy Campbell @AndyBCampbell]

This is the depressing part about Elon’s demolition of the site:

This was a reliable platform for gathering and disseminating info from trusted sources, in real-time. That’s gone now, and there’s no platform picking up the slack at the moment.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

People took out student loans not knowing that healthcare insurance would eat up their check and still leave them with nearly insurmountable deductibles.
People took out student loans not expecting their payments to balloon up to mortgage payments.
