@nhlanhladube09 @yvonnewrites @ProfessaJay From the business end, it’s the endowment/funding through which the position exists. So removing the line is a cost savings for the university, at the expense of faculty stability, research depth, student experience, and expertise in whatever that line was meant to do.

@eric_lang The whole dismissive “my pronouns are” joke is just so…tired. Only someone so rich could be so derivative and have people fawn over it. So yeah - agreed. Standard right wing troll trying to pass as a centrist “independent thinker.”

@tressiemcphd Are you aware of the work of @amymilligan12? Also focused on Southern Jewish tradition.

@TimpanogosSlim @DWSAndrew @notshenetworks Arbitrary just means random. Something can be random and still contain meaning. You can’t look at the numbers and know what they mean - you have to reference a database. Both arbitrary and helpful reference points.

@TimpanogosSlim @DWSAndrew @notshenetworks No one said meaningless. Arbitrary doesn’t mean meaningless.

@tressiemcphd It’s a commercialized panopticon. Doing labor we’re not trained for while under human and digital surveillance, like we’re at an ATM and a casino at the same time. But I still use it because I loathe the small talk inherent to these regular and necessary social spaces.

@DonJuan123455 @DezBryant @tonyromo @MicahhParsons11 This tweet aged worse than some deviled eggs at a summer BBQ

@CartRacer56 @ReasonableUSMNT @SportsSturm And how is what you’re saying not also in theory? Lol. Point being this is not an insurmountable problem. Can always come up with reasons not to do things - doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be positive changes.

@ReasonableUSMNT @aceinthehole_1 @CartRacer56 @SportsSturm Popping a 2 gram microchip into the laces of a one pound ball wouldn’t disrupt the weight distribution one bit.

@DrockGrant @stinkabuttkat @EZK_official @2022_frani @sovrynmindset This argument is rooted in the belief that the only value a human brings to society is economic, which is a poisonous perspective. The idea that children only benefit society once they can work is absurd. Among other things, they remind us to play and take joy in small things!

@atebbel I’m approaching the same thing next January. I know how you feel. The complexity and persistence of grief is strange - the way it manifests itself along the way. Much love and support to you.

[Brooks @BrooksLBarber]

@tressiemcphd Eerie and gross parallels to antisemitic paranoiac language in that tweet. Also the irony of acknowledging history of power and control for elite white orgs. They have to realize right? Are they this tone deaf?

@CharliNye @ambernoelle @Wildfyrewarning @DavidSAtkinson_ My brother and I both got hit by cars. And we used to jump off our carport into the shallow end of the pool over about ten feet of concrete. But yeah vidya games hurting brains. Lol

I am purring very loud because I love all of you.
