Absolutely loving that I reported a comment on Instagram saying that the user wanted to round up leftists and drive them into the nearest lake and Instagram said it doesn’t go against their terms of service 💕

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105. I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

"this product is good because it's like having a pocket full of PhDs" just suggests to me you've never actually been in a room with a bunch of experts on a topic. You think you're going to come away with a quick, simple, easy-to-digest summary of their expertise? Think again.

Grocery Price Update-- it's been a while since I've posted these, but I've still been keeping track. I can't figure out what the heck Google Sheets is doing to my bread graph, so I may have to move my tracking over to Excel.

Harvard, aka Resistance U, is taking advantage of the Trumpist NLRB to crush its grad student union by stripping it of 800 members. Sounds about right. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Harvard will remove more than 800 students on research-based stipends from its graduate student union, capitalizing on recent National Labor Relations Board rulings to deal a crushing blow to student labor organizing.

The University announced the change in emails to faculty and leaders of the Harvard Graduate Student Union-United Automobile Workers on Wednesday. The union’s membership list will be updated on Thursday.

In the message to the HGSU-UAW, Harvard wrote that stipend recipients are not considered employees under the National Labor Relations Act “and do not have the right to unionize.”

“Harvard has never agreed that non-employees should be included in the unit,” the message read.

Grocery price updates! It's been a few weeks-- I've still been keeping track but have forgotten to post. Here's how eggs and milk stand as of today.

I've spent years reporting on how democracies die. And I've noticed something: by international standards, Donald Trump is really, really bad at destroying a democracy. And that should give us real reason for hope. www.vox.com/politics/410...

Trump is losing his war on democracy

Trump’s power grabs are dangerous. But he’s going about them all wrong — and facing effective resistance as a result.

Grocery price updates-- mostly steady from previous weeks (my bread graph is acting funky but there's no change from last week so I'm not going to worry about trying to fix it right now)

I think the charity someone chooses to advocate for says a lot about them and my students have a lot of heart.

Samantha Schubert @spschubert.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

So far, topics include many environmental charities, local food banks and aid organizations, cancer research funds, animal welfare organizations, and different programs for children and the elderly.

My public speaking students' final speech makes them advocate for a charity and I have to say, this is my favorite speech assignment. I love hearing what issues they think are important and seeing them make connections with people doing the work. It's something that's giving me hope rn.

I’m already tired of magas instantly hating anything that runs on federal funding minus the military. No one’s money is being saved and you’ll definitely not see any kind of increase in your own bank account.

Got asked today, “Why should we still have libraries if they take so much federal funding?” First off, they just don’t. Second off, a US without libraries is one of the ultimate failures its citizens could be delivered.
