Arrest of armed man allegedly threatening Kavanaugh near his MD home leads Senate Rs to complain about stalled legislation for security for justicesโ families,
Just harden the security around his house and reduce the number of doors, right? Or maybe give Kavanaugh his own gun and let him protect himself, or he can hide under a desk, or cover the windows with 'ballistic blankets'. Or If He prayed mor no one would want to shoot him, Kavanaugh needs more Jesus in his life
@ProfSnarky Apparently no one hear the victims of Larry Nassar.Women athletes should never be subject to this sort of abusive exam.
It's amazing how everyone in my family races to be the first to dismiss my expertise in the things that I research and teach about as a damn expert.
Don't do this to the academics in your life. It's not funny. And no one within academia validates what we do either. It hurts, and it makes me want to not share the things I know.
The College Strategic Plan is not meant to support actual pedagogical initiatives! Please. This is #highered

This article was written 109 years ago. 109 years and we still aren't doing what we need to do to address the climate crisis.
There is a grant process for schools to be razed after a mass shooting. America has a process for schools to be renovated and rebuild with grants. Ya'll would fund rebuilding a school rather than put money into gun control and mental heath? I just can't

The sheer biomass of creeping charlie I've pulled out of my small garden this weekend is astounding. #gardening
It's slowly becoming apparent that the Uvalde story isn't just a story about the dangers of guns and of lax and permissive gun legislation.
It's also a story about a feckless, incompetent, and corrupt police department in Uvalde.
Don't let the media tell you that it's one or the other and that accepting one narrative means eliminating the other. It can be both. Society can have multiple problems, and identifying one doesn't take us off the hook for the others.
The old adage "Only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun" is COMPLETE NONSENSE as was made clear in #Uvalde. The police โ the ultimate good guys with guns โ waited 40 minutes for a tactical team before engaging the shooter, while he slaughtered 21 people.

The is a vigil in Virginia for the victims of the shooting in front of the NRA going on right now. There may be others as well however I just wanted to raise awareness to this for anyone that may be following things and interested.
any word from marco rubio on the #uvalde shootings?
yeah i didn't think so.
fun fact: rubio has received $3,303,355 in donations from the NRA.
Up for today: Helping teen spawn write a resume for applying to summer jobs. I doubt employers will want it, but hopefully he'll realize he does have a few skills to offer. #parenting
Teaching at College, USA. Snark about higher ed and whatever annoys me today. Indoctrinating students to read the syllabus. Hablo espanol like a true American.
