So clearly Gen Z is coming to college without basic computer knowledge like how file structure works. Does anyone have a good resource I can provide to incoming undergrads?

Um. The William Penn foundation offered bridge funding to keep the academy of natural sciences open for a year, and the people in charge said “no one is helping things by offering Band-Aids”. Jesus Christ. share.inquirer.com/KXxZTj

William Penn Foundation offers funding to keep Academy of Natural Sciences museum open

A Drexel spokesperson did not say whether the school had declined the offer, but said, “No proposal has been presented that would provide a permanent, sustainable path forward" for the museum.

Writing up my annual evaluation allows me to note that I have submitted almost $9 M in grant requests (11 submissions in 4yrs) and gotten none, despite good scores. I’m guessing I’m not alone in this situation, since federal funding numbers are down across the country 🫠

I think New Zealand has the most beautiful money — both aesthetically & because each note honors a native bird: Hoiho/Yellow-eyed Penguin ($5) Whio/Blue Duck ($10) Kārearea/NZ Falcon ($20) Kōkako ($50) & Mohua/Yellowhead ($100). Are there any other beautiful currencies you think can compete with NZ?

Colorful $5 $10 $20 $50 and $100 notes with paintings of birds on them sit on a wooden table.

I asked my dad how he liked Project Hail Mary and he said it was good but too far fetched because it was unrealistic that a rock would be an engineer 😆

I am so excited for every episode we record of @technicaltea.show and not just because @nicoleackermans.com and I were a Vampire Witch and French Zombie, respectively, for Episode 3. But because our costumes were thematically relevant!

Screenshot from Technical Tea Episode 3 recording. Huyen is wearing a witch hat with a spell drawn on her teeth and blood red lipstick with red stains at the corner of her mouth. Niki has the sunken eyes and cheeks of a zombie while still fabulously in eyeliner, lipstick, and a French beret.

This is my current solution. It translates to "AI is poop!" Except it rhymes. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social taught me that protest stickers don't have to be professional! Imma stick these bad boys all over these slop fliers

Now the question is how I other a roll of anti AI slop stickers somewhere that's not Amazon 🤔

Dr. Headbutt 🌈🧪 @nicoleackermans.com · 14/09/2026

I guess it's a combination of: - Still communicating most events via flyer rather than socials -not having the money/will to pay local artists - not knowing how to use tools like Canva/not willing to learn? I wonder if it's different elsewhere or in bigger cities
