It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

Yeah, sometimes that happens to me too

Co-workers have been making fun of Prius drivers. I thought as a society we'd moved past this.

Thought I had escaped academia but every time I see something about Taylor Swift's masters I assume she went to grad school

Why am I always hearing about tradwives but never about tradhusbands?

No Kings! Bad Kings! Don’t you even think about it, Kings!

Um.. whatever, I stand by my choices

The Texas legislative session just ended—and anti-abortion lawmakers did not hold back. Here’s what passed, what didn’t, and how you can take action. #TXLege #ReproJustice

Told my partner the topic of the new tangent was "daddy politics" and he was like "what does that mean?" sweet, innocent boy didn't understand so I had to explain "it's like dad's home and he's taking his belt off."

Went to a yoga class yesterday where the instructor asked, rhetorically I thought, if everyone had been feeling "punchy and stabby" that week because of the planets or fascism. Someone in the class spoke up to say it was because of solar flares.

"If you're here (employed in your chosen niche field), you must be fine," I assure myself each day.

Really reckoning with the fact that I went to grad school to prove there is nothing wrong with me, which in retrospect is hilarious.

If I can legally fly a Boeing 737 and not crash that will prove there is nothing wrong with me, right?

This season of The Rehearsal almost makes me want to get a commercial pilots license and fly a Boeing 737 full of actors to prove there's nothing wrong with me.

Luckily the carnivore diet should be taking him out soon enough. Our movie hero is just his own choices backfiring on him.

Just had a flashback to senior year observing a freshman goth at another lunch table consuming only two large pixie stix each day. I hope he's ok!

This is a Kurt Vonnegut graph of a Kafka story

The apocalypse is now, toxic men are the fringe cannibalistic groups, I have envisioned stabbing an attacker in the neck out of necessity countless times

Employee who often says "I haven't even had my coffee yet," has revealed that they only drink decaf.

I thought I made this up today, but it's also on wiktionary ☹️

The collective noun for a group of archivists is a fonds.

I've been watching Twin Peaks, so I'm feeling very Agent Cooper about my dreams lately

Had a nightmare last night that I was being followed by a gang of turkeys. One was waiting outside my door menacingly so I couldn't leave 🦃. What does this mean?

Every time I see a cybertruck in the wild it's like sorry I don't believe a real person bought one of these with their own money. These are paid actors

I don't buy into conspiracy theories because I deeply believe people at every level of government and industry are too incompetent to successfully conspire.

god bless Natalie Wynn

Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

The podcast is the LAST thing I want to bring up at work

"I have never been under general anesthesia, and I don't use recreational drugs," I said, truthfully yet, I'm sure, unconvincingly.

Was telling the two people I supervise about Elon's ketamine use, and neither of them knew what ketamine was. Then I found myself, in middle management, having to justify my rudimentary knowledge of both anesthesia and k-holes at work.
