To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Congrats to Japan on an incredible tournament. Their 5th SheBelieves appearance and their 1st win, dominating every game. They showed what they could do and left with a trophy in hand. Nothing but respect for this Japanese team–this is what a rivalry is all about 🇯🇵🏆

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

who up feeding they slime watch
a tweet by @ElytraMithra that says:
oh my goddddd
researchers built a smartwatch heart beat monitor that uses a slime mold for its operation. the slime mold has to be fed and cared for, so the users in the trial... developed an emotional attachment to it.

"Cognitively speaking, we metabolize mistakes." I've been reading William Wimsatt and he expresses a core component of my teaching philosophy better than I ever managed.
We are error-prone and error-tolerant—errors are unavoidable in the fabric of our lives, so we are well adapted to living with and learning from them. We learn more when things break down than when they work right.

Cognitively speaking, we metabolize mistakes!
