Is there any humiliation worse than putting a meme you thought would bring the house down in your lesson slides, only to have your students sit silently and blankly when it appears? 🫠😅

I graduated straight into the housing crash with a Religious Studies degree and no plan.

Good thing I’m not about to graduate into an even bigger recession with the Most Woke of all unemployable degrees (sociology, with a focus on defeating the far right), because that would SUCK lololol

Remember ladies, no matter how bad your day may be going, at least you didn’t have a kid with Elon

Holy shit

What’s wild to me is now Congress is so willing to give up anything they have in terms of power, influence and governance.

Thank you!! 🤗

It wasn’t the defense itself, but an internal review by my committee to make sure I’m good to do my research. But I didn’t want to embarrass myself and they were so encouraging and kind! Feel much more confident in myself now.

I passed my dissertation proposal defense! Whoooo!

Why the Arabic ‘Sesame Street’ and Other Cuts Are Not Really About Fraud As President Trump and Elon Musk cut federal programs, they often equate political and policy differences with corruption.

" “The biggest weapon against Al Qaeda and Islamic extremism is ‘Sesame Street,’” [conservative Republican and former USAID Administrator] Mr. Natsios said in an interview, recounting how successful the show had been in Egypt when the American government helped fund it during his term in office."

IAN MCKELLEN? Say less

I love the movie 🍿 I think Natalie Portman’s character has more agency

Ooo I haven’t seen that one! I’ll have to find it, maybe the library has it

I’ll have to check that one out! Been really enjoying Fallout too but that’s less current times and more just an enjoyable romp through dystopian Americana

What dystopian film in your opinion best describes the current moment?

V for Vendetta is mine

Holy hell. Yes.

Democrats as they’re lined up against the wall by fascists:

“Remember everyone - set a good example and abide by the rules of decorum”

Brutal yet accurate

Why hate on yourself when you could hate on spineless #Democrats?

Oh my god
