Tomorrow I will be meeting the whole day with Congress people from Louisiana and Texas (I am half-Texan) to discuss the importance of social #sciencefunding on behalf of COSSA & @spspnews.bsky.social Wish me luck! #advocacyforscience #SUFS #scienceisnonpartisan

Shows a COSSA conference badge with attached flair stickers designating state affiliation and that I “play well with others” and am an “official smarty pants” (as well as a first time attendee of social science advocacy day).

First red rose of the season! The #roses survived the 3 weeks of winter we had here. My hibiscuses not so much :( #redrose #heritagerose #bloomscrolling #happyspring #dailybloom (I hope)

Long time no post Bluesky fam. The bad news of late has been too overwhelming so I needed to disconnect. Plus it has been so freezing that my flowers are dying. So my kiddo made me some #Lego #flowers. Happy #bloomscrolling

No surprise: Evidence of "reverse discrimination" against whites (which would still just be #discrimination) is lacking. popular.info/p/the-truth-... Still over a third of whites will claim multiracial heritage on applications (men 3x more likely than women). thehill.com/changing-ame....

In an interview last week with reporters from the New York Times, President Trump claimed that the civil rights movement resulted in discrimination against white men.

Usually on NYE I receive a dozen or so text messages of “happy new year” from friends & family. That I received 0 this year is pretty telling about how my social network feels about the future. Happy New Year?

Balsamic roasted vegetables for dinner. I don’t usually photograph my food but when I do it is because it is full of delicious colors. (Whatever veggies you like + toss in Balsamic glaze, olive oil, smoked sea salt, then 425 degrees, 20 minutes - toss after 10 - easy & yummy.)

Single layer of Brussels sprouts, colored peppers, & onions spread out on a baking sheet and drizzled with balsamic glaze ready to roast.

#feelgood moment of the day: I came out of grocery shopping to find this man, Joe, filling my flat tire (that I didn’t know I had) with air. No expectations. Just kindness. #goodsamaritan

In the winter of 2003, I was driving to Minneapolis to defend my dissertation when I hit a patch of ice, spinning off the highway into the median. My back wheel busted, I was stuck, freezing, until a minivan of #Somali #refugees (no coats, in sandals) rescued me. apnews.com/article/trum...

My Louisiana Flash #hibiscus may be a late bloomer relative to my other plants but boy is it showing off. Six new blooms just today. Puppy in pic for size reference ;) Got my #dailybloom & #dailydog post in one. #bloomscrolling #dogsky

My Louisiana Flash #hibiscus is just so pretty. I am not even mad that I had to wait til Fall for it to boom with blooms. It is like a bloom bonus when i thought my hibiscuses would be hibernating. #macromonday #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

Impressed that my #hibiscus blooms are still showing up in November. Especially the notoriously shy Louisiana Flash that has maybe bloomed once a month. #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

They say you learn something new everyday. Today I learned our new puppy is afraid of his own dingleberries. And this 💯 is the look he gave me when I told my partner so I can only imagine what he would do if he knew I was telling the world. #dailydog #dogsky #puppy

We had our first freeze of the season which led to rapid covering of plants or bringing them inside, but I think the black edging on the red roses just adds character :) #dailybloom #bloomscrolling
