@carlzoilus Jack Antinoff (specifically of the Bleachers variety)
Father John Misty (even though I can’t stand him)

@y2000k Why not? I don’t think there’s any need to regulate clothing choice at events *unless* there’s a specified dress code. If there isn’t, it’s just another form of gatekeepinh.

Opinion: Do I Know Very Little About Something but Have Decided that Makes Me Correct Compared to People Who Have Studied this Rigorously for Years? Yes.

@MollyNarinDashS @rsl318 Some good info: https://t.co/w2nkipifPO

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@MollyNarinDashS @rsl318 I follow lots of people, stay on my home feed, see who they boost, then follow them. Or search hashtags. It’s a slow start but once you get your feed right it’s great

“I’ve never had a lockdown like that in any drill”

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

My wife just endured a 40+ min lockdown at her school where she teaches. Everyone is ok, no safety threat. But she and her students barricaded their classroom and everything. Had no idea what was happening.

Everyone is traumatized. This is not freedom. This is a tyranny of guns

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

It was a false alarm. The system was accidentally triggered.

The fear, anxiety, and trauma that everyone endured was very real

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@focra For me it’s gotta be an album that was huge right as we were entering those years when music started to matter and shape your identity. Late elementary early middle school, which for most of us was like 92-94.

Live, Throwing Stones is another good one.

@clemdra @focra Those came out after I graduated college. Elder millenials are a super narrow window, like, born between 79-83 or something.

@Floreustebius @juliannegrasso Choices were made.

Now that I’m out of academia as a career, I no longer have any Fs to give about unfortunately being a former white guy with dreads™️. I kept those cards real close to my chest previously

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@WanderingRohan @AcademicChatter Talk to her about the kinds of careers she could have outside of academia from year 1. Even if that’s the career path she wants, she needs options.

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@juliannegrasso Choices were made.

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@juliannegrasso I don’t even wash every day bc it’s very curly and thick! I just wet it in the shower.

I’m a serious head sweater…I think that’s the issue

[Dr. Jacob A. Cohen @MusicoloJake]

@juliannegrasso Lol. You probably don’t know this about me but in college and after I grew my hair so long and thick that it was dreadlocks. Literally
