If “your RA”:
* conducted your literature review
* spent months on location collecting data
* wrote tons of code cleaning or analyzing your data
* did all the time consuming things you did not have time for
They deserve to be a co-author, not a thank you footnote!

I often feel like the U.S. only exists in the contours of doom & gloom as seen on TV, and then I finally see ’s 2018 Happy to be Here and I remember how sparkly, brilliant, things can be from that place. 🤩
Must’ve been too woke.
Ba dum dum 🥁
At least I know that I’m doing things right for my senior age group since I do eat then stop eating then eat again. Every damn day. No wonder I’m so ripped.

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to whomever it was that brought back bulky sweaters and leggings... Want to wear pajamas all day while looking fully dressed? Why, yes, yes I do.

The hardest darlings to kill are the ones that come from hours of going down rabbit holes of fascinating readings, later to realize they're completely tangential to the point. If anyone needs a paragraph on primate vs human birth canals, I'm here for you.

TLDR: Please provide the structure (including deadlines) and scaffolding that students with executive functioning difficulties need to succeed. You can and should still be flexible with extensions, but lack of deadlines is not helpful for the most vulnerable students. /fin

The only thing worse than end of term grading, is catching up on all the incomplete grading from the previous term right before the next one. Damn you, December self!

My New Year’s resolution is to buy bigger pants.
Human trafficking statistics have been pumped up to supercharge surveillance of minorities and crackdowns on sex workers. Don't get all "oooo it's a myth!" when a powerful man is accused of trapping and raping women.

Donald’s business empire was convicted on 17 counts of fraud. He’s been sued by the New York attorney general for $250M dollars. He’s the target of five state and federal criminal investigations. Anyone telling you there’s “no accountability” is selling you something.

Ah yes, breastfeeding can solve global poverty AND make your baby into the world’s greatest athlete. 🙄
Quote Tweet
Unicef convinced Pelé to be its champion .. a poster with Pelé’s mother patting her son on the shoulder saying: “Of course, he is the best football player in the world. I breastfed him!” The campaign led to a dramatic increase in breastfeeding saving thousands of Brazilian lives

Cannot believe we now inhabit a world where if someone refers to the "pizza human trafficking story" you'll have to ask them to be more specific.

“Don’t feed the troll, the attention is what he wants”
What I want is to support the woman he’s harassing. What I want is to make her less alone. What I want is for everyone to know that what he’s doing is fucked up and I want you to stop fucking telling us we’re lying about it.

TFW you're grading an assignment that clearly took the student a lot of time but it's still terrible.

I think reification is my favorite least favorite thing in student writing. It's a wonder that we all have survived the various atrocities that that jerk Society has done to people... and don't even get me started on The Media. Such a twatwaffle.

I was reminded today that university budgets are a choice and unrealized deficits ≠ a financial crisis. Academic excellence is not found in vanity construction projects, larger class sizes, or cuts to programs. #notfallingforfearmongering #AcademicTwitter

BREAKING: Galen Weston asking folk to donate points to the needy (or food) after gouging them is pretty sad. How about donating your Billions in pandemic profiteering? Or paying tax...

We get it, the guy’s super fat and rich.
This isn’t beautiful prose, it’s fatness as trope.
It’s like she needed to squeeze in a new fat guy since Myrna’s not there to project her #fatphobia onto. 🙄

“Pinot’s face was blossoming from red to purple. Gamache wondered if, before their conversation was over, he’d have to do CPR on him. How deeply buried was his heart wrapped in layers of ambition and foie gras.”

Could Louise Penny pls stop dehumanizing fat people?
Eagerly listening to All the Devil’s are Here audiobook, then stopped in my tracks by:
“…eyes, almost buried behind folds of flesh and outcroppings of skin tags, were searching…”
