Friends! Do you like trees? Woody perennials? Higher ed? A better climate? Amazing learning opportunities for students and the public? All of these are reasons to give—generously—to the new Oregon State University Arboretum: damproudday.org/p2p/367439/l…
Would you please consider donating to the arboretum *today*, on OSU's DAM Proud Day? #DAMProudDay damproudday.org/p2p/367439/l…
#Museums peeps in particular, you know what it's like to have to stretch funds to meet the needs of everyone who wants to engage with your institution. Dan's there right now—please help him and the OSU Arboretum grow!
I've donated. Will you? damproudday.org/p2p/367439/l…
Who in #Boise heard that explosive-sounding boom around 5:47 p.m.? I’m near Chinden and Five Mile, and my neighbors and I are wondering if everyone is OK, as it shook our houses.

This is insanity. If you need an emergency abortion in Idaho, you can no longer count on treatment under EMTALA. The court ruling means the best they can do is try and stabilize you and transfer you out of state. Hopefully, you survive the journey.

Branden Durst (the garbage pail kid who is unqualified to be a superintendent in Idaho) has finally resigned as the superintendent of WBCSD. Congratulations WBCSD! 🧡🖤

I wrote an open letter to Gladis Blanca, the killer whale that initiated ramming into the rudders of boats off the coast of Spain.
I hope you’ll read and share it and then ram into the rudders of whatever you need to destroy.

@WinCoFoods What’s up with your Fairview store tonight? Only two checkstands open, lines snaking back into the aisles, no one answering phones? They’ve been ringing throughout the store much of the time I’ve been shopping.
Usually service is a bit better. I hate seeing elders and tired parents with kids in tow wait so long to check out.

The wildest thing to me is oppressed folks have to be ~~perfect~~ and the most gentle deescalators to not be seen as bad guys. But these protestors were aggressive and escalated unnecessarily several times. /9

I know that it's hard to understand things when you haven't experienced them personally and yes it's truly shitty but: the West has been dealing with this, it's been horrible, we all need to take it seriously

I just bought a couch from a family moving to Minnesota b/c of Idaho's draconian abortion laws. One of the parents is an ObGyn who said she can no longer provide proper care for her patients. They're also concerned for their teenage daughter. We are losing ObGyns. #idpol
I’m *that* person at corporate-style trainings. (Surprise!) In today’s professional development for supervisors, the facilitator asked, “What happened in the ‘80s that changed everything?”
Me, shouting out: TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMICS!
Her: . . .the internet.

I was talking with a coworker who bragged about having covid +5 times, says it's mild.
But the entire team is so frustrated with his code quality, we've started holding weekly code reviews.
And he forgets to check in code.
He will reply to emails and they're blank.

This @thecontinent_’s piece by @simonallison is the most realistic piece I have read on the AI narrative in Africa. He cuts through the ‘AI hype’ to highlight how these western AI technologies being deployed in Africa don’t reflect the needs of Africans, including languages, etc.
. @habitburger For weeks, the veggie burger has been unavailable via the app at my local restaurant. When I saw that it was available today, I eagerly ordered one. Then I waited extra long, while hangry, for my order, only to be told at pick-up…
