Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no. Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts

Which is your favorite of these three images I captured of the sun rising over Monument Valley in a haze of wildfire smoke?
Series of three near-identical photos of a sullen red sun and one of the mitten buttes from Monument Valley with a hazy, rust colored sky. The only difference between the images is the placement of the sun in the sky relative to the butte.  In all three images, the sun is in the gap between the "thumb" and "fingers."  In the first, it's just above the intersection.  In the second, it's perfectly poised in the center of the gap.  In the third, it fits comfortably into a small divot in the tip of the thumb.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights
"About the fund. The J.K. Rowling Women's Fund (JKRWF) offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women's sex-based rights [...]. It provides women with the means and confidence to bring to justice cases that make legal precedents, force policy change, and make positive contributions to women's lives in the future."

Kaladin, armed only with his spear and wearing no armour, is in the front, his back to Adolin.

An anecdotal guideline on how I like to post art on Bluesky! This is what works for me, it might not be 100% solid so use it with a grain of salt 🙏 #arttips #artsky
A guide with recommendations on what size and format to post art in on Bluesky.

Bluesky converts images to JPEG/JPG so it is recommended to use your own software to export your art as JPEG/JPG. This is to avoid Bluesky's rough format conversion.

The minimum size seems to be 900 pixels on both the width and height dimensions with a maximum of 2000 pixels likewise.

The recommended size seems to be between 1200 pixels to 1800 pixels on both sides.

For pixel art, it is recommended to post exactly in 900 pixels or 1200 pixels for the width.

This is because the width seems to be the most important for pixel art online display.

Additional Notes:
The maximum is 2000 pixels, but recommended to keep below this to avoid possible compression.

Applying a "unsharpen mask" at 10% strength helps with image clearness.

To keep your art safe, do not upload in anything more than 72dpi.

There's something about seeing it visually over time that chills the blood. It's hard to process that when we made the jump from 2022 to 2023, it still wasn't enough to convince people this was serious. Before Trump was re-inaugurated gender-affirming care was banned in more than 50% of the country.
The United States has experienced a long rise in anti-trans legislation. Now it's surging. shows 2015-2025

I wanted to post another reminder to consider getting a booster if you were born before 1990. Two doses weren't recommended before 1990, so you might want to check your records, or get a titer test, or get an MMR booster. In many states, pharmacists can administer vaccines on their own authority.
