What a class act. What a hero
Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.
Resurrecting my nearly moribund twitter account just to say: Americans, we have to step up as individuals because our nation is letting down the whole world. Donate to Zelenskyy’s official Ukraine site at: u24.gov.ua/
I just gave as much as I can this week. (ps, you may need to tell your bank that you approve a charge from around the world) I am about to inherit some $ from my dearly beloved parents who both just left me, and as soon as that comes in I’ll be donating more.
Am finally shifting over to blue sky, fyi. You can find me over there as northernsparrow. (not that I have posted anything yet, but surely I will any second now, lol)
I often see my conservative students start to become more liberal. But it’s not from me - I literally just teach them the names of bones. It’s because their labmates have randomly ended up being a Hispanic kid, a Muslim girl, and a gay guy, and they have all become friends.

Holy shit. The fires in LA today are absolutely devastating—so many people are losing their homes (including some of my own dear friends). If you’re out there, please listen to the authorities and evacuate when called to.
If you need help, 211la.org/LA-Wildfires is a good place to start—and get @watchdutyapp to help with evacuation alerts: watchduty.org
I hope everyone will make it through safely.
Sending love.

One last gift from Jimmy Carter, all flags will be at half-staff on Inauguration Day
I never knew the feeling before of an already-broken heart breaking all over again. Goodbye my sweet shy smart little lockdown buddy, my Fuzz, the only creature in the world who snuggled with me every day, the only one who cared if I got up in the morning or went to bed at night.
We shared this house. Every room had her mark, her little bed or water bowl or fave spot or something, The house is so empty now. I’ve never been here without her. (I live alone)
Tomorrow I drive north to Boston, to pack up my mother’s files and arrange the burial of her ashes.
