When you are questioning your life choices and one of your undergraduates delivers an absolute gem of a paper, you are reminded--this job is pretty awesome.

The number of academics who need friends to say--bro, don't do that--is growing by the day.

That is like 100% your actual fucking job, you......rude word.

Wow. I feel so much safer now.

Question to my academic friends--if you found out someone with which you thought you were cool talked trash about you to a PhD student (i.e., don't work with her)-would you call them out next time you see them or just continue to be awesome & ignore it? Not asking for a friend-sadly for me.

Yeah..that is exactly what they are doing.

So I’m a huge ballet nerd. Got this in Glasgow at the EGPA conference & just had it framed. Love it so much.

I am very sad today. Just putting that out there in the universe to see if it can be the start of cheering myself up. Though doubtful.

We are basically one step away from a full on Weekend at Bernie's government. If not actually there.

Amen. I am so ashamed this is us now.

I do not want to hear a word about fighting the drug war from the current administration EVER again. What the actual.

All the men who were silent. Look in the mirror- you are the problem. Apologize to the women in your life and FFS do better.

I want to send this story to the douchebag in the bar who argued no one has lost rights in the US & I’m a liar that women are dying in Texas. For the record a) I wasn’t actually trying to talk to him & b) he stormed out of the bar after this. Why do men hate women so much? This poor woman.

Every day is some new atrocity on his part. I cannot even believe this is our reality.

Good morning to most people. Definitely not Larry Summers. Fuck that guy.

My anxiety has been off the charts this week & my system was really dysregulated. So recentering today & reminding myself I’m doing my best. Be gentle with yourself, peeps. 🐥

JFC- anyone who does this for a living is walking, breathing administrative evil. Period.

Goddammit white women. I can’t with y’all. Can I spiritually disavow? 47%?!?

Not me scrolling & liking every Blue post I see. Feeling my first kernel of hope since last November that this country may survive. Let’s keep fighting hate, callousness, corruption, and cruelty & remember that public service is an honor. Treat it as so.

Women who carry the flag for the White male patriarchy are almost worse than the patriarchy itself.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is unmatched. Read her latest piece—and everything else she writes.

A screenshot of a block of text with a black background and white serif font. The text reads:

“I don’t particularly care about the symbols people use to signal their membership in a group. Maybe you do need a terrifying tattoo to be a real Marine. And maybe sometimes that terrifying tattoo might resemble Nazi iconography. If you are willing to accept that from a distance, as many Democrats say they are, a person may not be able to tell the real symbol of hate from its doppelgänger, that is for you to live with.

But, I do care about the political trade-offs we will ask people to make in the name of pragmatism. If the Democratic future requires us to exchange our discomfort with casual Nazism to advance a political agenda, I am not interested. Maybe other voters are — some polling suggests that young voters still support Platner. And maybe Platner will find a way to redeem himself. No one owes him that chance, but there is still a way forward. It’s called doing the work.

But don’t tell me that excusing that tattoo is good politics. It is the exact same politics that the right is selling, in a different outfit.”

FFS. Check your privilege, people. I just cannot-the way to save us is not to throw others under the bus. Also, as someone who watches a LOT of true crime-everyone needs to calm the hell down. I lived in Baltimore & walked my dog in my pjs. You going to be alright.

I just deleted a citation from a draft paper from someone I recently learned was talking trash about me. Not going to lie--felt both petty and really satisfying.

Going through my LinkedIn for names to recommend to someone. Reminder--be nice to people (authentically-not strategically). I definitely went by a couple of names with a big fat no because they are difficult to work with.

I really, really worry about people's reading comprehension. On so many levels.

Got my COVID booster today at CVS with no problem. You know why? Because I live in the tiny but mighty state of Delaware. Also the shingles vaccine hurts- my arm feels like I was playing punch buggy. Science is awesome.

Bro--this is actually your job.
