Friends — Stop letting a billionaire pick what turns up in your feed and come join the conversation at BlueSky. Who needs a conversation slanted by an oligarch when you can experience a more free exchange of ideas? And when you move, send me your handle and I’ll follow you.

Congratulations, @RDesRoches! Very proud you are Rice’s new president.
Paula, my family, friends and I had an incredible time at the Association of Black Rice Alumni tonight honoring the hard work and sacrifices of those who made it possible for me to become the first Black president of Rice University.

Devastated to hear this. Lisa Saunders was an early member of @IAFFE and the @FeministEcon editorial board, and I respected her greatly. Enjoyed many conversations with her about both life and economics. Will miss her greatly.
Women’s #reproductive work in the cross hairs — yet again we see the undervaluing of production from women’s bodies and some sad old tropes. Great fodder for @FeministEcon and @IAFFE. @ICRW washingtonpost.com/magazine/…
Please join us in supporting @HoustonAudubon and its efforts to provide sanctuary for #migrating #birds. Our team, The Thieving Magpies, hopes to earn your support through a #birding marathon @CinTyLeeEarth @JoanStrassmann houstonaudubon.app.neoncrm.c…

Important thread: how can we better understand fossil and renewable #energy together with environmental impacts? #Climate #Birds
I just returned from Midland in west Texas. This is the epicenter of oil and gas in our country. the region is also on track to be the center for renewables like wind and solar. Regardless of one’s politics, it is important to understand what is going to happen.
