@yumestarion Actually, I think like this because I regularly use public transport and think critically about my own experiences and responses.

I’ve been banned from entering Singapore & was just deported to Malaysia. I asked immigration to provide the grounds for the ban/deportation, but they said they could not disclose them. It’s stunning bcs I stayed there for 5 years & was conferred a doctoral degree on 31 January.

Channel 4 news wildly hyperbolising about Andrew ... that no British prince could ever imagine living out his years in jail. Uhhh, have they ever read Shakespeare? Doing just that is a mainstay of royals in the history plays 🤦🏼‍♀️

Never let anyone tell you humanities degrees are wasted.

[Dr Daisy Dixon @daisyldixon]

this is why it was important to me to have my Dr title on official documents, it was a way of escaping this archaic oppressive system which despite its absurdity is still accepted as normal

[Dr Isaac Chong @MeansbyMagic]

The pool of Singaporean Early Modernists is very small, so I really enjoyed being able to have caught @vanessaolim's research on Time & Rhetoric in Macbeth at the @ShakesInstitute today, and being able to chat about Singaporean life afterwards. 😁😁

Love Bug needs love! He is elderly and lost his elderly owner, my late friend Rosemary & soon, his AZ home.

Help his sitters find him a home so this sweet cat can be adopted, not put down.

@BBCWalesNews Listen, I’ve got skin in the game here and even I don’t think this is newsworthy

[Dr Isaac Chong @MeansbyMagic]

My corrected thesis got accepted on the 26th of November, exactly a year after having my viva. Dropped off a hard copy at the @ShakesInstLib tonight, and uploaded a digital copy to the repository. With that, 5 years of research comes to a close, and I'm officially a doctor.

One minute you guys moan about non white people not integrating with English culture and when they do integrate by doing things like celebrating Christmas you moan again that they are integrating.

Maybe the problem isn't them, maybe it's you.

NHS doctor here, Rupert. If you'd checked your facts before this racist dogwhistle, you'd know that every NHS doctor can speak English - as proven by their IELTS proficiency (look it up... or are you just a populist hatemonger for whom facts don't matter?). Kindness may not solve everything, but my God the hate you spew is builds nothing, improves nothing, and only stokes division.

[Dr Daisy Dixon @daisyldixon]

none of us PhDs think we’re smarter than the general population - we are weird yes but only because we willingly choose an academic career and dedicate years or our whole lives to a tiny area of intellectual thought

Some racist yelled and cursed at 3 young Muslim women from inside his Tesla truck for 3 minutes.

That man was Perry Greene, the ex-husband of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

So I made him apologize privately to them and their families for over 20 minutes, then sit for Friday sermon at their mosque to get educated about Islam, and then issue a public apology to the world.

Only after my clients were satisfied with the apology and his community service, we offered a discounted settlement of $75,000.

That’s $25,000 PER MINUTE of hate speech.

I did all of this in 7 days. Alhamdulillah.

I hope everyone who reads Sunrise on the Reaping notices that the politics of smell is all over that book. The whole Hunger Games series, really. Olfactory ethics left, right & centre.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

There’s been a framing that all these protesters at Columbia were rich and entitled. But that’s why interviews of them are important ⁦@ColumbiaSpec⁩ ⁦@NYMag⁩
