@Chaptr_two @velocciraptor Yeah, sure, do that for artists who are already dead. They can’t change and they can’t continue to provoke new bouts of trauma every other week.

@soledadobrien Isn’t this for accessibility? It reads as alt text for the picture, not commentary.

Yes, that was Stacey Abrams with a cameo on Star Trek Discovery as president of United Earth. A proud Star Trek nerd, Abrams has appeared as a guest on fan shows and has talked extensively about how the show shaped her perspective. #gapol

@SheilaABrennan @zotero Exciting!

@ChristinaSydork @magmidd Seriously. Would have been nice to have a janitor, a grounds keeper, a social media manager, a facilities manager, or a graphic designer, but those were all hats I wore. I can only think of one history museum in the region I was in who MIGHT have an in-house design team.

@TolarianCollege You can’t talk to geese. They aren’t reasonable. Please do not attempt any conversation.

@halkyardo Must have background noise at all times and therefore bought noise cancelling headphones for ND partner who is the opposite 🤣

@tejuabiolaart I recently had a friend send me a long message about how she was thinking of me now that she has a child and about how I was always “myself” and never tried to conform and it was vv sweet but I also had no idea what she meant? Not being myself didn’t ever strike me as an option?

@1gillianfrank1 Tbf, it seems like many students aren’t even anxious about DOING citations at all so I wouldn’t worry too much. Maybe the emphasis on doing it right at least imparts the importance of citing period?

At MIT, an R1 research university holding $27.4 billion in stock market investments, social science and humanities grad student workers are consigned to far flung, windowless basements. Sometimes, our offices have features like these.

@kvetinovaz @zikaay @maurekiaivy I feel like this is more thoughtful than most love bombing though. A narcissist can easily understand “women like flowers, I send flowers” but engaging with the emotional depth necessary to come up with this gift makes it seem more genuine, imho

@LDBurnett Did Frump call McCain a pussy? Real rich to act like they suddenly care when a veteran, along with many non-veteran politicians, is called out for potentially illegal and traitorous behavior…

@MrOlmos NVM that the one explicit political point she turned to was the racist dog whistle of “wide open borders” ruining the “soul of America”

If you make a mistake, so what?
You never think mean stuff about me when I make a mistake

@BeingCharisBlog Plus, medical staffing shortages are such that I know nurses who have tested positive, are asymptomatic, and are told to come to work. There are medical professionals in hospitals who are positive while treating patients.

@RebbeSMZ It feels like the health care system is essentially fast food now days and you’re just a regular in the drive through asking for something “special” and they don’t have time to bother with it.

@XiranJayZhao Marci Gras for the gurls, maybe?!

[Lynnea Jackson @LynneaSimone]

Then: me, age 7, at the Field Museum when I first decided to be a paleontologist

Now: me, age 23, a visiting researcher in the paleo collections at the Field Museum studying dinosaurs

@NotReallyLarry @whyyasss @YouSoFancy @iAmJeffSledge @craigspoplife She didn’t get to 102 sitting around letting other people do stuff for her. People that age just gotta keep moving until it’s their time!
