If a fed asks you if a student attends your class, kindly remind them it is a violation of FERPA to answer that question.
What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?
Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Getting it fixed on Friday though 🫒
I love olives so much I chipped my toooth biting a pit 😞
Peaceful is what these last 7 days in Chicago have been for me. Tough to disconnect sometimes.
Thought about making a burner account to post weird stuff like Twitter but tbf there’s only like 3 of you here and the weird stuff is the fact that I love soggy fries and I think Taco Bell is a solid place to get lunch.
Happy Thanksgiving! Today’s thanksgiving spread 🦃
Starting to read the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Excellent first book so far. 😭
It was pretty good.
Started reading the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. No idea about the novel but I think it will be a good use of my Thanksgiving break 🤔
Let’s see if that holds true.
Can people share their funny people starter packs/follow recs?
Need to dial in the heehee to haha ratio in my fyp
