@su_ssu_sudio @MoniseLSeward No - and I spent hours on the phone on hold with both my loan services only to be hung up on by both. Almost ready to just forget it at this point.
@MoniseLSeward I was told if I consolidate now, ALL my previous loan payments don’t count. I’d start back at 0. 6 years after they told me that consolidating would mean no more IDR. So…I guess I’m screwed either way.
I wrote 5 pages of my dissertation chapter (the last one, and the one I loathe most) today so I’m spending the rest of the day watching tv in the recliner eating grapes, channeling my inner hedonism bot. #Dissertation#PhD
@MaiaGeorgeCoach @swatiatrest My original advisor passed away is part of the problem. Who wouldn’t let the rest of my committee see things. And no one in my department is a British historian like me. So it’s more complicated than my short tweet - plus I’m on year 12 of standing up for myself and I’m so tired.
@holilield@TheMariaStarr@BraxtonB_Farms Wow. I don’t know that I’d say memphis is full of savage predators. Good people live here too - and we’re heartbroken and disgusted and shocked. Women everywhere should be able to run when they want and be safe.
Guess who just wrote a 2 page footnote about heraldic statues in the middle of their George II chapter, despite desperately trying to have this chapter done in 10 days? #phdlife#Dissertation#twitterstorians
At the Toulouse airport, just watched a woman try to order oat milk in English for her coffee. Barista kept hearing “hot milk.” Emotions escalated to the point where I had to intervene and explain what oat milk was, and this French man was absolutely pissed to learn it exists
@MissJLomax We don’t have a bedtime (because a lot of reasons) but no phone except a flip phone she takes to games/visits to friends. Letting her be a kid - especially when I wasn’t allowed to be - trumps any annoyance.
Today, Aiya is mixing dirt in a bucket (making soil blocks for seeds for the garden) in the kitchen sink. But she’s doing it while singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” punctuated by goose honks. Cool.
