Every time this discourse comes up I point out that it’s only a concern for a) racists and b) people who believe that economic growth must be endlessly exponential in order for society to survive, ie neoliberal capitalism
"A department generating high credit-hour production across the university but with few declared majors is not an inefficient department. It is a department whose students are not being counted in the metric being used against it."
it’s been depressing watching dems backslide on addiction stigma the last two years. the country is criminalizing homelessness. republicans gutted addiction care and research. feels like the least we can do is not throw gasoline on the deadly fire to make shitty social media analogies
It made me so happy to meet you IRL! I hope we can actually get coffee or a meal next time!
Thinking of you today and often. I hope like hell your docs can get you into Mayo. Sending my care and support.
It’s stories like Jessica’s that keep me masking. Because society abandoned her, and it is an abject failure that we did. Because this shouldn’t have happened to her or to anyone.
Masking is one of the simplest, most tangible forms of community care we have. It matters.
Is the era of embarassing online personal branding almost over
“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning"
got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing
Protect your brain. Wear a mask (for viruses and air pollution). Use a bike helmet. And go cautiously about what skills you offload to computers. This is a mom post to all you beautiful brains. Just …we need you in top condition to create a radically just and sustainable future.
I guarantee you that lil ole Pete had no idea what the Strait of Hormuz is or its importance before last week
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
Please help Saeed provide for his family. As you can see, he is a wonderful uncle

When all of this is said and done, I hope we spend some time sitting with what really matters.
Clothes, concerts, travel - anybody with money can have that shit.
What you create, what you learn, and how you care for other ppl are the only things that have any actual meaning in this world
It was equally lovely to see you!
I wish
1) if you are using AI, you are a mark
2) if intelligence becomes a utility, you will never be able to afford it, just like everything else in this country
Dear Judy Blume -
Where is our book about Margaret going through menopause
Love,
Your fans
Oh yes. I got very used to the “I love you when you do things for me and I don’t like you when you don’t” dynamic
this is still the realest thing ever said about america
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
the blue no matter who people are probably screaming, crying and throwing up in his mentions but they know he's right. Democrats will benefit from thermostatic public opinion. No one voting for them has a clue what they will do if they win. [feel free to say nothing to me in my mentions, thanks]
Some stickers I have currently. Others I have not pictured. If you would like a small pack posted to you lmk
This is really despicable and I’m reminded of all the LGBTQ influencers I’ve seen promote Chili’s triple dippers and pink glitter martinis and mozzarella sticks all over TikTok and Instagram Reels. They need queer and trans people for marketing, while discriminating against them as employees
I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.
⚠️ An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed US service members in the early hours of the Iran War was more severe than previously admitted, with dozens suffering injuries that included brain trauma, shrapnel trauma and burns.
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
I am working on starting one of these at the (rustic but homey) log cabin my family owns! I’m thinking inexpensive + co-op options and I’ll test run a few with a small group of writers for v cheap to get feedback. Would love to add you to my email list!
