Gardening is like a miracle. (Doing my part to leaven a feed of mostly 'the world is burning' news, as we all still need to eat.)

A little Chatham county for you: this oak leaf hydrangea is bigger than my living room (with flowers the size of my thigh!):

This whole thing is NOT like Mom and Dad are fighting; this is like watching the gang that kidnapped you falling apart in front of you and realizing one of them will likely kill you, either in spite or accidentally by neglect.

So grateful for a new @scalzi.com novel read by @wilwheaton.net in the middle of all this crazy. But I definitely just laughed so hard I snorted tea out my nose, 6 minutes into chapter 3 of the audio. SNORTED. It's not Octavia Butler level prescience, but it IS mighty timely.

An executive order is not a law. Dismantling the Department of Education requires an act of Congress. Rinse. Repeat.

If you’re a professor in a classroom today & you don’t mention this, I believe you’re doing your students a profound disservice. This is targeted 1st at international students, but it’s deliberately broad enough to lay groundwork for a scene Trump & Hegseth have fantasized: troops on campus.

A truth from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

The combination of recruitment season, the country on fire, and a student with a literal car full of girl scout cookies (who takes venmo) is probably not a good one. Self-medicating with samoas whilst making my daily calls.
