I'm usually hesitant to share too much about my son, Ripley, or his situation but our situation (US, WV/OH) changed last week. Ripley is about 18 months old and we've known since he was born that he would need a #KidneyTransplant once he was big enough. Until last week, our plan was for him to get one of mine. Unfortunately, I was disqualified, so we're on the hunt for a kidney! If you or someone you know would have any interest in being screened, you can visit https://ripley.love (1/2)

If you only use social media accounts to share terrible news stories about terrible people doing terrible things, you're missing out on a fantastic opportunity to finally be happy.

There's also a strong probability that you're shouting into the void because you've been blocked or muted.

Don't let the bad aspects of the world destroy your opportunity to be cheerful on #Mastodon for once.

You don't need to be a bot for the news corporations.

Profs will choose to leave, the state system will slip bc partnerships with UF will suffer, the effects will be felt beyond the subject of RACISM. The autocratic policy of educational control re racism, UF: in danger of losing notable faculty & grant$, sullying its reputation: DeSantis wants to teach racism as a 'theory.' Assault on academic freedom is an outrage.

In today's OUR LAND newsletter, I examine the "real perversion" in Trump's porn star/hush money scandal. It's corruption that extends beyond his personal sleaze and his possible criminality.

I can't put into words how little I care about what Stanford, Harvard, or Yale students are doing.

90% of the problems in the legal profession stem from a deference to graduates of these institutions, an elite social class with elite connections and 2d experiences with never a struggle.

I can't imagine why the law turns out to favor the elite. We can't even nominate a justice unless they are from Harvard or Yale.

Honestly, do people even realize how messed up that is?
