When you need a car in order to make money, the loss of that car is catastrophic.

If families didn't have to make car payments, they could save hundreds of dollars a month, money that could go two food and rent.

Its kinda insane how we tolerate being shackled to the steering wheel.

This is why we all need to push for infrastructure that allows to walk, bike, and take public transit (and against #CarBrain).

The other day in my Scientific Writing class, I asked students how many had been taught NOT to use I/we or the active voice in #ScientificWriting.

Almost every hand went up.

This makes me sad. Writing is hard enough without our teaching like it's still the 1960s!

I've shot this when visiting #georgia.

When there is a #pig strolling through a #village, you are intrigued to #follow, but when he is casually joined by a #sheep, you are obligated to find out what’s more to the #story.

#Animals are amazing and I think there is happening so much more there we give them credit for.

“Long COVID turned my life upside down. Amidst all the loss I’ve experienced, there’s been the cognitive dissonance of watching most of the rest of the world try to return to normal, without me in it. And seemingly unaware of the reality that COVID-19 is still out there, resulting in long-term chronic illness for a significant share of people infected.”

I’m honestly kind of stoked about everyone abandoning Instagram because I’ve spent nearly twenty years curating my Flickr gallery with the absolute moodiest of MySpace-angled selfies in anticipation of this moment.

Don't forgive yourself
for not being perfect.
You don't have be.
You only have to be you.
That's enough.

If you are positioning yourself as left leadership (at ANY level), you have a moral obligation to be the voice in the room arguing for masks/ventilation at events & against COVID normalization eugenics.

Let me say that again: you have a moral obligation to stand up to eugenics.
