I already hadn’t been using Instagram for over a year, but this was the final push I needed to permanently delete my account.

Got our ballots yesterday, turned them into the box today! I think it’s the first time I didn’t procrastinate for a week or so before filling it out.

I know the point of this graphic was “most states depend heavily on trade with Canada and Mexico” but now I just have questions about the Utah->UK export pipeline

Yes! Proud of my old school district. Huge result for a suburban area that normally leans red.

Here are the links to folks who are tracking grant cancellations at both NIH and NSF censoring science. This team is tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

I am so heartened to this seriously AWESOME #SaveNSF website go up today!!!! Has a take action toolkit with: 1. Press outreach templates 2. Social media toolkit 3. Elected official outreach 4. Talking points Check it out and share widely!!!! Likely more to come. www.savensf.com

The Spencer Foundation is offering rapid response bridge funding for those who lost NSF research grants. www.spencer.org/grant_types/...

Never mind, that was a short break! Had to come back to follow the news about the NSF grant freezes. I’m currently paid through an NSF grant to continue my research until I find a job. I’ll update if I learn of any details that I’m allowed to share. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Think I’m going to take a break from social media for a week or two. Been spending more time scrolling than I would like.

It’s happening. ICE is holding a US citizen without cause.

Can’t say I’m surprised. The guy loves a power trip. He was pathetically quick to urge police to remove frustrated constituents from his town hall (cops ignored him, making him look like even more of a loser). I bet he took a selfie at CECOT and just hasn’t shared it (yet).

Is there a way to block companies on LinkedIn? I’m getting fed up with all this AI spam.

Mark your calendars everybody! 🗓️ Saturday, April 19th, 2:00-4:00🎉 It'll be a great day, with some truly amazing speakers 🎤 You don't want to miss it! 🎉

On Friday, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation! I can’t believe it’s done. As of this moment, I have no idea what comes next.

Just signed up for UT-02!

If Utah was really a family-friendly state, it would create special liquor licenses for breweries that would enable parents to bring their kids along (among other things). Breweries in other states I lived in are some of the most family-friendly places, often real neighborhood third places.

As inconvenient of a time as it is to be completing a PhD and trying to find a job, it’s starting to look like an even worse time to be starting or continuing in a program.

Starting to get annoyed by all these accounts following 30,000 people who are in the uncanny valley of seeming like neither a bot nor a real person. It’s an instant block from me, even if they claim to espouse views I agree with.

@altwasonps.bsky.social Celeste Maloy claimed multiple times at her town hall last night that she called the White House and convinced them to re-hire the NPS employees who were laid off last month. I’m skeptical, because she was lying constantly, but can you confirm if this is true?

This is my favorite photo of all time.

Glad to have been there!

Proud of my state right now.

At an Utah town hall and people are using the Slido to fact check these lying Republicans. Bless.

"We cannot tax our way out of $37 trillion in debt," Rep. Maloy says. "Oh yes you can!" one person yells back. "You cut your way into this, you can tax your way out of it!"

Good evening from the University of Utah. I'm here for tonight's town hall meeting with Reps. Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy. The crowd is slowly filling in as they pass through the security check. #utpol

I reposted this yesterday but I think it failed!! Might as well still put it up for a few hours and get more people to see it

Reps Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy are holding a joint in-person town hall at The University of Utah today at 6 PM MDT. They seem to be trying their best to make sure nobody knows about it: bsky.app/profile/utah...

It says it's unavailable, but that's because they only listed half of the seats as available! They still have to allow walk-ins for as long as there's space, so you should still try to go (and bring friends!) on that day without a ticket, because there's going to be PLENTY of seats!!

www.eventbrite.com/e/town-hall-... Please hurry and get tickets to this town hall on Thursday, March 20th, from 6-7PM! They are trying to fill it with their own loyalists!!
