@SportsOnTheLo Feels so good to confirm that gate

@botticellibimbo Obviously biased, but I think mine is good. Also I just read The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante and it blew me away.

Got to see an early screening of Club Kid in Vegas tonight. Such an empathetic, earnest movie that made me want to be less cynical (even on here). Just beautiful. Movie of the year.

My last contribution to the PhDiscourse. Here's how livable my grad school stipend is: https://t.co/eEW3x9RrZd

[Krista Diamond @KristaDiamond]

@jeffkoonssucks $15k a year in my MFA to teach English Composition and for some reason the MAs were paid $11k for the exact same work, very cool very cool

[Krista Diamond @KristaDiamond]

@Nosillaeel How is teaching not a real job?

[Krista Diamond @KristaDiamond]

As someone who worked on a graduate union campaign for 5 years and is in a PhD program that pays $21k, the most frustrating thing I hear repeatedly from faculty and admin is, "Well I was poor in grad school too!" Inequity isn't a rite of passage. We all deserve a living wage.

@klarnic_debt $683 for me this semester for a bunch of ambiguously named services I've never heard referenced elsewhere

@TheCinesthetic Kind of a flawed show (understatement of the year), but the True Blood intro is perfect

[Krista Diamond @KristaDiamond]

Strikes are supposed to be disruptive. You can avoid a noisy picket line by not crossing it.

[Steve McGuire @sfmcguire79]

Any Harvard graduate student who participated in this planned class disruption should be disciplined to the fullest extent possible under Harvard’s policies.

The professor tried to move the class and couldn’t. His students were disrupted while trying to complete an in-class exam.

Completely unacceptable.

"My sound bath place is using too much AI," is a real sentence I just said out loud.

He beat cancer and then immediately went back to tweeting about how AI sucks. That's my pope 🙏

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Machines are tools, not persons. Today, some propose granting these systems rights, or even legal personhood. Such an approach risks obscuring human responsibility and leaving those who suffer harm to confront a faceless entity.
