People on the job market: CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDERS. Job talk invitations end up in my spam box because SBU's email has decided anyone with emailing from that university's domain is a spammer.

It's outrageous. I never would have gotten to defense without the CIE. They've done more marginalized students than any other office on this campus. Please sign this open letter and tell Admin not to cripple the CIE! docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Conversations with the 5yo DM: Another kid: I was bitten by a leech when I was swimming in a lake. 5yo DM: No way! They aren’t even real and if they were, you would be dead if a lich bit you. Kid: They are not that dangerous. 5yo DM: They can disrupt life. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

My writings and my head are disordered and mixed up, so that it is exceedingly annoying to read and difficult to remember what I've written.
Bizarre request, but is there any published info on other planets in Exandria's solar system/crystal sphere? Running a spelljammer influenced 5e campaign. #CriticalRole #Exandria #dungeonsanddragons Perhaps the wise @matthewmercer may even notice this tweet? THANKS!
I've tried to write the word "crimmigration" four times. Each time I've typed some variant of "crimimagrasion." MS Word doesn't know what I'm trying to say. I'm tired. Send help lol

Happy 82nd birthday to Claudette Colvin! She was the first Black woman to refuse to move to the back of a bus nine months before Rosa Parks did, but the NAACP did not want to use her to represent their organization because she was 15 and pregnant.
