I like knitting, learning, and making things work. Strapping lass. She/her. I'm a queer, married, middle-aged, parent who skis. Obviously I drive a Subaru.

For years afterward, Ditka said not running was one of his great regrets because he thought he would have beaten Obama and averted his presidency.

I remember a decade-long panic about undergraduates, activists, or Tumblr pages declaring new language rules and denouncing people for violating them.

that's strange because i define it as "paying a fair amount of taxes so my neighbours don't go bankrupt paying for their cancer treatment". but what would i know, i only live in a country with socialised healthcare

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

I am not saying I think Catholicism is the one true religion. I am not saying I think the pope is right on everything. I am not saying that I’m not agnostic anymore. I *AM* saying that I’m getting close to changing my position on whether god has more important things to worry about than sports

I really wish there was more civic discourse about Drexel, and Penn, and Temple, being shitty community members. Drexel just trying to vaporize a civic insty-tution that should be there for future generations of Philly kids.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.

I think this is a key part of why historians are mad, yeah. Because it’s a dunk, and it’s one that like. We all know that scientists and engineers think themselves better and smarter than humanities students. There’s always an assumption that they could do our job but we couldn’t do theirs.

This strikes me is a common misunderstanding of the argument for humanities education, which is not that it serves as some sort of individual inoculation, but rather than it produces a citizenry more capable of self-governance when distributed widely, especially for decision-makers of every kind.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.
