Genuinely, Germany was *THE PLACE* science was done. If you wanted to study Physics, or Psychology, or Medicine, you learned German.

And then.

This day in history, an abuser resigned in disgrace. He will never hold such power again. We won’t let him.

The attack on higher ed is proof that we are speeding toward a fascist state. All of this over Palestine protests and β€œanti-Semitism.” UCLA the latest to come under fire and be fined $1bn. This is so fucked up.

The WNBA’s sex toy epidemic is Skibidi brainrot writ large. Trolling has replaced meaning with noise | Lee Escobedo The trolling of WNBA games isn’t just juvenile spectacle. It’s the logical endpoint of a culture fluent in irony, addicted to attention and hollowed out by meaninglessness

Sick of people telling me about jobs that suck/I am over qualified for/lack credentials for. Like my therapist is texting me about special ed jobs at the local high school which require special certification. It’s like she isn’t even reading the post!

So I ordered some β€œnice” underwear so everything I have won’t be ratty and blood-stained, but I gotta save a lot of the ratty, blood-stained stuff to wear for that time of the month so I don’t ruin the fancy undies. Sigh.

Currently, students who come here in a visa are granted β€œduration of status” permission on arrival, meaning they can stay in the U.S. so long as their student status remains valid (i.e. they’re still studying and working towards a degree). For PhDs that could be far more than 4 years.

Michael is right to raise concerns about this rule, which seeks to force around half of international students to renew their student visa at least once during the time they’re studying.

But the β€œgood” news is that it’ll be a proposed rule, so there will be notice and comment and time to oppose.

A lavish banquet hall with ornate gold-trimmed ceilings, grand chandeliers, and elegantly set round tables covered in cream linens and purple floral centerpieces. The space is filled with hundreds of identical golden chairs, but only a few human figures are presentβ€”and they appear oddly lifeless or artificial. Near the center aisle, two figures stand stiffly by the American flags, facing away from the viewer. Another figure is scattered near the sides, motionless, with an uncanny, mannequin-like presence. The people seem digitally inserted or rendered, contributing an eerie, surreal quality to an otherwise regal setting.

My therapist said my brother was definitely out of line when he said our house was messy and offered to pay for a service. My friend is also trying to talk me into a shitty retail job that pays $15 an hour and wants me to work nights and weekends. I’m really trying hard to stay positive but ugh.
