Anyone using LiquidText on iPad for reading and note taking? I’m wondering if it’s worth purchasing.

The contrast between threads and Bluesky is interesting. It’s like true work-life balance. However, I tend to like my worlds to collide. I probably shouldn’t. 😂

If I run regressions for a living, does that count as residual income? 🤭🤗

I really should have put together a panel on DEI and activism for SIOP 26. That’s my bad. I hope someone else made the move.

Me still researching, teaching, and speaking on leadership + DEI because it’s part of my professional identity, it’s what I love, and I won’t/can’t erase that. Happy new semester!

I’m either extremely productive before a Zoom meeting and show up late because I was absorbed by the work, or I’m not productive at all and show up on time.

Rand Paul effectively admitting that the US is the biggest arms dealer in the world while sitting in a congress that does the bare minimum when it comes to preventing school shootings is the kind of sobering moment that “Second Amendment Americans” need but will likely ignore.

If someone pours bleach in your drinking water, waits around until you’re dehydrated, and then gives you fresh water just before you’re too far gone, you’re thankful for that clean water because it was a relief - it’s a good thing. However, you shouldn’t forget who tainted the water.

“Michael” called to tell me my tv receiver box was out of date and I would no longer receive a signal. I told “Michael” that I don’t own such a device, and I could hear the disappointment in his voice. This scam would have been top tier in 2009. Times have changed, Michael. We stream now.

I’ve never felt good about Gavin Newsom. I could definitely put my finger on why, but I figured there was no need to share because he’d do it eventually. And here we are.

Another huge ruling! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings.

“Autism on the rise” is a potentially misleading phrase. It makes strong assumptions about measurement that we probably shouldn’t make. Part of the issue is that most are focusing on children while ignoring adults. Focusing on kids is understandable, but we risk operating w/o a clear baseline.

Is anyone studying content creators and their relationships with social media platforms? I create bbq content for fun, and I’ve been stuck just under 5K followers for months. It’s obvious they want me to pay for ads to get to 5K. My engagement is down no matter what I do. Interesting thing here…

47 keeps defining groceries as if it’s a novel concept. He’s incapable of appreciating the difference between $100 in groceries 10-20 years ago versus today because he’s never needed to shop for his own food and supplies. Instead of asking about prices, ask him how he’s saved money in the store.

Mike Johnson may be the worst of the capitulating GOP. His lack of affect and willingness to lie and mislead in the name of 47 is sickening. He knows better and chooses positioning rather than support of the American people. The “great project” was nothing more than a fever dream if this continues.

At a park in the middle of the city, and kids are playing soccer and football on the green. Beautiful, right? Well, the adults tend to walk through their games and get annoyed when a ball hits them. If you walk through where kids are actively playing, what do you expect?

Paying $350 to fix two broken irrigation pipes in the yard and another $350 to fix a valve (numbers are rounded up to protect the innocent). I could fix the broken pipes for less than $50, but I don’t have the time and doing so voids the warranty on other system components. This is annoying.

In 2017, Trump took credit for a booming economy dating back to the day after the 2016 election. In 2025, he apparently hasn’t been in office long enough to have a meaningful impact in either direction. This was said after campaigning that wealth/growth would start the day after the 2024 election.

Trump’s view of an unfair deal is obviously a deal that he doesn’t like. If he’s not railroading the other party, the deal is a bad one in his eyes.

Thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Yesterday was incredible. Thank you for showing up across the world. 
To our HUNDREDS of volunteers: WOW. You all are unbelievable. I am so proud to know you all and you should be so proud of what you’ve accomplished. 
To the core leadership team: you guys, we did it. I love you. I’m so proud of you. 

What’s next? 
We are going to take a damn nap and then figure out our next steps. 
Meanwhile, YOU are going to step up and be the change you want to see in the world. There is nothing stopping you from organizing at your school, work, hospital, state capital, etc. Yesterday was just the beginning, and YOU are what’s next. How will you rise up?

Get up, dorks! You’ve got a world to change!

Second terms are usually marked by aggressive action, but this is regressive action that targets anyone that stands in their way. “If you lie, you’ll steal. And if you’ll steal…”
