Leave Twitter just because its entire infrastructure is crumbling, its revenue sources have been slashed recently, and it's now run by business bros with zero understanding of humanity or the common good? Babe I'm already in academia.

The war on Christmas will end when Christmas respects the sovereign territory of the autumn holidays and retreats behind the Thanksgiving armistice line.

In case you weren't glued to twitter last night, I opened a bottle of wine and started tweeting about newspaper props in period dramas again.

But everything changed for women this summer. Everything. Why would you possibly care about gas prices when you understood a fight had begun to take away your your right to live your life as you see fit? To make you "less than" the other 50% of the population can?

I'm trying out Mastodon - find me at tschaffer@mastodon.social (for now? I think?). It seems easy to manage as long as you don't actually do anything! x.com/MikeStucka/status/1589β¦

'To be accepted by his peers, Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey, was expected to dress conservatively, marry, have children, and live what would be considered a respectable life for a man of his status. But he was never cowed by the expectations of Victorian society.

Three tips for migrating to Mastodon h/t @jaztrophysicist. Lesson #1: Choice of server or βinstanceβ is important in that each has different moderation policies, but does not balkanize the content. (1/3)

Know some folks are wondering why @tbonier and I have talking so much about the early vote.
Simply, the goal of an election is to get more votes than the other side.
So far, that's what Democrats are doing. And that's good. 1/

Morning everyone! Some thoughts on where we are 7 days before last day of voting.

Ds are above 20 share in GA, IA, MI, NM, NV, NC, OH, PA, TX, WI, almost in AZ, WA. 1/
ALT This the TargetEarly national summary from the morning of November 1st.

D enthusiastic embrace of early vote is making 2022 very different from 2018.
Using updated TargetEarly data, at this point in 18 Rs had 250k vote lead in the early vote.
Right now Ds have a 2.2m vote lead, growing leads in key battlegrounds.
