I'm trying to plan music for the church service when I'm preaching in August, and this would be so much easier if this congregation sang a middle hymn. Some things should be before the sermon but *really* aren't processionals. 😩

Just determined with a student that if a box-and-whisker plot is vertical, it's a hair-and-beard plot.

Anyone want to be my (interim or longterm) dean? (relatedly: 😭, so many pre-tenure admin changes)

Since moving away, there have been some dance performances in New York that would have liked to see! But I think this is the first time I've read a review and really wished I were still there for a show. (This sounds like everything I love about tap in general and Dorrance in particular.)

NOAA and the National Weather Service, and all the local NWS offices as well as the national centers like the Storm Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center, Aviation Weather Center, and others offer such a huge wealth of data and services to the public. And all pretty accessible online!

As a meteorologist, let me tell you that you have no idea how much you rely on NOAA. Both daily and disaster prediction services in America are gold standard and nowhere else comes modestly close.

i rely on the noaa daily. private weather services also rely on the noaa for long term forecasting, centralized severe weather alerting, and satellite access. everyone relies on the noaa because their long term data is some of the best in the world - and the most freely available.

It's #Disability Pride Month! If you don't already, please consider simply accepting the terms of accommodation letters and providing whatever they list without question. Merely not actively standing in the way of a disabled student can feel like a huge help. bsky.app/profile/sync...

I've wanted to write something about academic accommodations for a while, and in the absence of other inspiration, I'm just going to put it here. I have a few points to make but first a bit of context about me. I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Basically can't hear anything in it. 1/

Every set up I have of taking scores from trials and nationals or just trials, it's Simone, Jade, Jordan, Suni, Hezly.

Time to run my little scripts and have opinions

Love seeing the men and the trampolinists (or at least Ruben) there cheering!

A brief track interlude: Sydney. That 400m hurdles time would have been 6th in the 400 FLAT at these trials. Incredible.

NBC still with the Kaliya erasure 😭

Not watching trials because I've been on a bus/train, but I'm so so disappointed for Yul. But Fuzzy!! What a pair of days!

They... gave Leanne the ND back? hmm We're one rotation in and this is already going to be a chaos gym trials

I know gymnastics trials are never clean but the men are making me very nervous in new and creative ways here (as well as many of the usual ones)

cool cool, resetting to 0 days since Walters made national news, love to care deeply about education in Oklahoma 🙃

Trampoline & DMT US Champs: Ruben just dropping in on his second DMT pass is gorgeous, Gracie world's first!!!, and I'm so excited that Ruben made Olympic alternate (and that in the US that counts as Olympian)

BIG NEWS ! 💚🖤🤍 We have a new and improved version of the Aromantic and Asexual Database! This has been a long time coming, and it's far from over, but I'm super excited to have this version live now! Most of this is thanks to @nyphren.bsky.social, who has been working hard to make it a reality!

@katherinelocke.bsky.social wrote this about finding ways to write, but I need to work on this for research. I think I've spent a lot of the last two years failing at the ideal (spending a whole "research day", doing things in a specific order) when it just needs to happen where & how it happens.

Sport climbing B&L OQS part 2 women's final is going to have no Olympic ramifications, I think*. So that shiuld be a round for... fun? training? bragging rights? *If I did math right and reallocation works the way I think it does, the Olympians are now set
