save some smoke today for the reporters, pundits, and influencers who failed to convey the threat of Trumpism to their audiences and the voters who couldn't be bothered to make an informed choice last November

Did you know? Many #tornado shelters - mainly larger ones - can also be used to shelter people vulnerable (due to lack of heat) during winter weather and extreme cold as well. There's multiple uses sometimes. #EMGTwitter #winterstorm

A lot of the comments are saying the issue is that men don’t have platonic friends. That doesn’t sound like something anyone other than men can solve & while it might not be misogyny it is likely a result of patriarchal toxic masculinity

There is no evidence to suggest men are lonelier than women and the entire “male loneliness epidemic” discourse centers on blaming women for not centering men. Literally no one is stopping men from organizing groups or solutions. Y’all just wanna make women do it

@LittleMammith The idea of "having a girlfriend" as a status symbol or a checkbox rather than building a genuine, mutual connection is telling of how relationships are framed for many men. It’s a cycle that feeds isolation rather than intimacy.

So much of the "male loneliness epidemic" boils down to the fact that a lot of men just... don't like women. They don't find them interesting. They don't enjoy being around them. They want to "have a girlfriend" in the abstract but their lives are otherwise entirely homosocial.

Former President Jimmy Carter's life and legacy were remembered with a state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral. @lbarronlopez reports.

ICYMI | Demand for remote degree programs has surged in the past decade, and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic normalized the online classroom. But for students in many exclusively online programs, eight-year completion rates often fall below 50 percent, according to data on outcome measures from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. At @SNHU, one of the largest and oldest online institutions in the country, only 36 percent of students who enrolled in 2015 graduated in eight years. At @gcu, four times as many students attend online as in person—100,000 compared to 25,000 at the Phoenix campus this fall. But only 46 percent of the nearly 26,000 online and in-person students who enrolled in 2015 had earned a degree by 2023, according to IPEDS data. .@LibertyU, a private Christian college, was an early adopter of remote degree programs; in 2022, 15,500 students enrolled at the Lynchburg, Va., campus while 115,000 enrolled in online courses. But the IPEDS data shows that only 42 percent of all Liberty students who entered in 2015 received an award or degree after eight years. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3DQC9j1

Much has been made of Pres. Carter’s deep commitment as a Baptist. However, as a lapsed AME from the same part of Georgia as he, it is also worth noting that he had strong connections to the local AME church in Sumter County. There is an important history and story there.

@byeliseam It is cold comfort at the moment, where people stood in this moment will be remembered (as historians are well aware of). I want the record to show I spoke out against genocide.

While, I welcome the diversity of viewpoints, the targeted, racialized, and gendered policing of my scholarly and professional engagement is deeply troubling. The power-play of cc'ing my chair suggests intentions more nefarious than a simple open dialogue or disagreement.
