Texas is a mess, y’all. #Women are under attack. #Queers and trans kids are under attack. People of color are under attack. #Poor people are getting poorer.

The Texas Observer Lives!

After a terrifying near-death experience, we live to muckrake another day.

About half way through the first Horus Heresy book and this is as good as the fandom says it is. Aiming to finish it in the next 2-3 days. #warhammer40k

Spent some time on PTR 10.1 and was the point in destroying a play style really to bring Preservation Evokers in line with other healers? Cause this new 4 set is completely nuts. Kept TA and switched to Norzdomu’s teachings and picked the green flight nodes. Healing output in bursts and HoT was completely nuts. I’m confused #Blizzard what was the point of the changes thus far? #warcraft #dragonflight

I've gone Mastodon-viral (over 200 boosts) a couple three times now and haven't felt the need to throw my computer into the sea, so that's good. Less context collapse, fewer trolls. We'll see if that lasts as the service grows. Fingers crossed!

Hey, #People of #Mastodon! You saved a newspaper today!

Refreshing experience and wish more professors and mentors in #STEM took this to heart. I’ve seen so many who expect understanding but don’t give it to their trainees or peers in return and it always blows my mind. Nice to see some good ones out there.

Professors, we can—and should—prioritize compassion with our students

This professor, whose father died when she was an undergrad, supports her students as she wishes she had been
