At the end of our final class today the students all clapped. I fear a new hunger for power has been unlocked in me.

I personally think Joe Biden should kill all the turkeys and pardon student loans this year.

Everyone on here should start using the starter packs like we did with the Myspace Top 8. Aggressively and explicitly order your favourite academics. Make sure the 8th person knows they are on thin ice with you.

This a good thread by @dieworkwear.bsky.social. And let me add this: that lie being sewed in through an origin tag is representative of an even bigger problem 🧵

Starter pack UPDATED! Thanks for your patience. If I missed you, it's just cause I'm one woman trying to track notifications & copying/pasting you in. Happy to add a few more but this one's almost at capacity (there's a 150 limit). Please share to help build our community back! go.bsky.app/LVrPemK

I’m obsessed with looking at these academic starter packs. As a matter of fact I would love to know who’s who in maritime history

Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵 (1/20)
