    Questions - as a former foreign student in the USA: - what if my home country has bad internet? - or has blocked certain apps? - or my Gov scholarship depends on me being abroad? - what any postgrad students that also teach? - time differences? - Bills? Rental agreements?

    This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. ice.gov/news/releases/…

    Otters have EVOLVED to have pockets under their arms to keep their important otter things - WHY ON EARTH HAVENT HUMANS EVOLVED TO INCLUDE POCKETS IN WOMENS CLOTHING? 😤 😡 😤 😡 @CCriadoPerez for your next book

    Sea otters are equipped with a "pocket" under each arm, a handy storage pouch where they keep tools or some snacks. Here, Yaku pulls some clams out of his pocket!

    Can we take a moment to appreciate that the latest huge interviews/debates have been masterfully headed by badass women journalists? There’s still a long way to go to #diversifythemedia but having role models for little girls to look up to is a damn good start. #GE2019 #bbcqt

    It all fits in a backpack - mobile journalism for the 21st century. This is the kit I carried to cover how Parisians and tourists lived the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games watching on huge screens dotted across public parks. #Paris2024 #mobilejournalism

    I ALMOST reshared a photo on social media *without checking it* because I'm a space 🚀 nerd. Good thing I checked cause it turned out to be false! My work @firstdraftnews has taught me to pause when something makes me 😁😡😭 on social media. Let me show you how I did it ⬇️

    As a TV producer, I sympathize with the need to fill mins of air time and the struggle to find new ways to tell the same stories. HOWEVER - these are human beings, with stories, families, children, and dignity who are risking their lives while someone tries to voxpop them #wtf
