@auntieentropy.bsky.social I almost tagged you and @wolven.blacksky.app and other Discord people I care about and miss but I'm so jet lagged I was worried about typos. 😂

@cosmic.plumbing I used your software to find the election for this Mercury drawing (which was necessarily a 'basic election ++'), but I was able to get a really comprehensive sense of the overall astroweather thanks to Cosmic. Beautiful software, y'all!

In a year that's been rough (to day the least) it is a *frikkin' joy* to use this astrology software. Your dialing it in, @cosmic.plumbing, I'm loving this!

A new policy went into effect at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill : the University can record a class without the permission or knowledge of the instructor. "Students will self-censor if they know that their words in class can be recorded by administrators.” —UNC - Chapel Hill AAUP

New UNC policy allows University to record classes without instructor knowledge

The policy states that instructors will not be notified in advance of class recordings in the event of “an investigation into alleged violations of University policy” or for “any other lawful purpose”...

If this has changed and it's system-wide now, please link to the source.

Heather D. Freeman (She / They) @heatherfreeman.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Please be extra vigilant about accuracy! This policy is in effect for UNC Chapel Hill, *not* the entire system. That doesn't make this less disturbing, but we need to keep the information space clear.

Friends: please consider adding your name to this @ncaaup.bsky.social petition. UNC System administrators want to create a single, searchable repository of all university and college syllabi -- a move that invites political actors to attack the free inquiry on our campuses.

Charlotte showed up today! It was beautiful and heartening to remember we're not alone. First amendment free speech and freedom of assembly in action.

Protest signs and people in front of trees on a beautiful sunny day. One sign says Queen City bows to no kings. Another says the only minority destroying America is the rich.
