There's nothing quite as inspiring as trying to open my work email only to receive four multi-factor authentication demands, each requiring password, phone PIN, and server PIN, followed by the inevitable "Something went wrong" dialog.
#SecurityTheater drains me in its pointlessness.

This vocal gentleman jumped the wall into our back patio to insist on a treat. We petted him and offered water, but he must go back home for food!

Last night I #dreamed that I was testing the floors of campus buildings, trying to determine just what chemicals had been used to make that solid surface. I was also teaching a class in becoming human.

One of the reasons I chose to move to #Groningen was that I believe it will continue to be a nice place to live as the #ClimateApocalypse proceeds. Yes, that is certainly my #privilege showing. Plenty of families won't be able to move away from boiling temperatures.
