Applications have opened! Come join us in Acadia to discuss what exgal paradigms are being most tested right now (and how do we move forward) alongside critical discussions in how (and who we let) do astronomy in the first place! #extragalcticastronomy forms.gle/H3rkiCYyNdzK...

Substack choosing Bari Weiss's The Free Press as its official partner for a relaunch tells you everything you need to know about the values of Substack's leadership. I'm begging the writers I love to move their newsletters off Substack. Source: on.substack.com/p/the-new-me...

We view The Free Press as an ideal partner for this initiative because of its longstanding presence on Substack, which extends back to its founding in early 2021, and because of its commitment to pursuing high-integrity journalism. The Free Press is old school in the best way, with meticulous editorial standards that it upholds through in-depth reporting, fact-checking, editing, original photography, and more. The Free Press, like Substack, is also dedicated to a business model based on subscriptions.

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach *journalism* at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.

Delighted to have a piece of flash fiction (nominated for a pushcart prize) in the latest issue of Vestal Review. A meditation on grief written in the form of a list. #flashfiction #shortstory #limag #writing #literaryfiction

Applications open January 15th, and we especially encourage applications from folks at SLACs, PUIs, HBCUs, and/or tribal colleges; graduate students and postdocs from marginalized backgrounds; and anyone who works on topics in the local Universe that have implications for early galaxy evolution.

The pre-amble! July 28th - August 1st, 2025 in Acadia National Park, ME, USA. We’re thrilled to announce a workshop focused on re-conceptualizing paradigms on the formation of galaxies in the first half of the Universe, and also critically inspecting and bettering our ways of doing science.

Update on the bathroom ban in Ohio. OSU astronomy has moved forward with the construction of a single-occupancy restroom in our building (none exist currently), and we have secured the $$ and contractor who will begin the work thanks to several OSU faculty.

Thanks @deevybee.bsky.social for looking at Elon Musk's record through the lens of ethical conduct in research. Having him in the @royalsociety.bsky.social Fellowship reflects really poorly on the organization IMO and I'm glad Fellows are speaking up. deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/11/why-...

If you were under any illusion that Musk would not weaponize the justice department to target his critics and enemies, this should shatter it. This man is a clear and present danger to the entire United States and people need to act like it.

Screenshot of tweet from Elon Musk:

"Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind.

He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.

Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice.

After landing, I thought I'd check the news, and then one of the first headlines I read was how Harris lost because the Democrats were trying to "appease the left" and....... Truly, fuck EVERYONE at this point, how can we not learn with SUCH fucked enthusiasm.

Please consider setting up a standing donation for your local abortion fund. In the ground, there are just countless pregnant folks trying to get the abortion access they deserve.
