Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Sometimes it’s the small things. Like when your office window, the only PhD office with a window of course, becomes the chosen death window for the campus birds. 100
Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 21/04/2026A couple of days ago, Momo decided to self-medicate, breaking into a bag of “calming treats.” The outcome: 010

Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 11/03/2026I was reading aloud an essay to myself (as one does) and caught Zuko listening. Clearly, he is not convinced by my claims. 0141
Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 16/12/2025Even Momo is disturbed by the state of my graduate school budget Christmas tree 🫣 030
Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 03/12/2025When I leave for campus, Momo sits on his bread toy like this and blocks the door. Let the semester end so he can live in peace and I can stop answering to these big eyes! 020
Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Don’t mind me. Just thinking about @kippdawson.bsky.social seeing her shirts on display for the first time 🥹 020

Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 14/07/20251991. And, last but not least, students protest the Gulf War, taking to the streets around campus and Squirrel Hill alongside Pitt and Duquesne students.

Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 14/07/20251970. Strom Thurmond, notorious racist, was pelted with marshmallows during his visit. The student paper made this iconic series of images the cover of the newspaper mocking him. (Personal favorite) 4/7 100
Catherine @caevans.bsky.social · 14/07/20251969. Black Construction Coalition protests shut down construction on campus over unfair union policy that kept Black workers from joining.
