  1. This also brings back personal memories of the one semester I did at #UMass Lowell after a medical leave from UMass Amherst - Dubus was the Writer in Residence at UML that semester and visited my American novel survey class to teach House of Sand and Fog, and you'd better believe I was one big nerd puddle. Now he's a professor there.

    I'm telling you, #lowellma is COOL. #bookstodon

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A #UMass #Amherst #study tracked 379 preschoolers and found that irregular bedtimes predicted lower #vocabulary and #memory scores, even after accounting for total sleep. 😴

  5. I was doing my #UMass #UMassAmherst #IT setup and... what's that? #P2P doesn't invented for #piracy, and, as a CS person, I cannot just uninstall #torrent clients, #IPFS, #Blockchain and other P2P systems because they can be abused.

  11. There is a point where you have to stop and wonder if there is a coordinated false flag operation occurring in the US right now. If reality doesn't fit the narrative of the authoritarian then the authoritarian will manipulate reality.
