I read more than post on here, but now it feels complicit to do even that. #QuittingTwitter. Any advice for academic spaces/communities on #Mastadon? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

@StefanoBloch @timgill924 @nathanfielder Nathan Fielder’s mind is in Canada, though, right? So that means…

At the baby’s newborn visit, there two parents, each glowing and asking all the questions. At his one week weight check there was only mom, sobbing and cradling him, barely able to speak. And that makes 7 patients I care for who’ve lost a parent to gun violence.

#Kansas showing off in more than one way today 💜

[Dr. Heather Swenddal @HeatherSwenddal]

@tferriss Thanks for your excellent interview with Noah Feldman. It's great to see you using your intellect and platform to dissect complex political issues that we all need to better understand. More of this, please!

[Dr. Heather Swenddal @HeatherSwenddal]

Worth the wait!

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B

On this Independence Day, patriotism calls us to action: to defend equality and justice despite those who would deny our rights to both.

Protest. Vote. Make demands of those who borrow our power. Serve.

We are one nation and our work must make it so.

Happy #4thOfJuly

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

The Fierce Urgency of Now - When injustice becomes law, non-violent resistance becomes duty. The urgent question is: If you believe this decision is wrong what will you do to make things right? We must now have a movement of committed individuals for change.

It's weird to lose a right that you were born with. #RoeVWade

I think I'm going to like my new state's governor!

To the right wing officeholders who today are cheering the Supreme Court’s ruling: GET YOUR IRON BOOT OFF WOMEN’S NECKS!

@justifyjusticee I remember feeling this, Danielle! What worked well for me was never to expect nuance or balance from Academic Twitter: I came here occasionally when I had a specific question or craved commiseration. You can curate your feed, or you can just be selective about when you drop in.

“You are told that this flame will bring freedom to the people of #Ukraine. But the people of Ukraine are already free.” @ZelenskyyUa

This speech will be one for the books of history. #StandWithUkraine

To better days ahead.

Wishing you all a happy 2022.

@jfkantrowitz I was once promoted suddenly to an exec role, working with leaders whose in-boxes grew by scores each hour. To cope, these folks approached the genre differently. Their emails were minimalist and direct--even cryptic. Adopting their style felt weird but got my questions answered.

Two of the 17 Global Goals include specific targets that will help us defeat the #COVID 19 virus and avoid future pandemics.

Managers, take heed.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Burnout isn't due to a lack of motivation. It's caused by a shortage of capacity.

There are more interesting people and projects than hours in the day. The key question isn't whether you have interest. It's whether you have bandwidth.

Enthusiasm is boundless. Time is finite.

[Dr. Heather Swenddal @HeatherSwenddal]

@EllaRuthFrancis I'm sorry to hear this, Ella. Much love to your family. X

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

Whew. Yes.
