Was at a panel on US Christianity and politics, and the speaker kept saying "religious nones." I kept hearing "nuns." It's not my area. So, so confused. Petition for another subdivision to change a concept for my personal convenience. #religionandpolitics

@AlexanderRKlotz A et al. You are giving credit to a team, no? No longer part of that team, it seems correct to separate the authors.

Prehistoric humans saw this gigantic carnivore that, as a pack, could kill prey weighing 600 pounds, and they said, "IT'S SO FLUFFY!"

@thephdstory Where are people going? I barely use Twitter but I enjoy finding academic communities.

@bjirish Tell them to read Orwell's "Politics of the English Language." Or put down the thesaurus. Either way.

@ProfessorSearcy Happened to me today. Huh.

[Heather Katz @ProfHKatz]

@Macys, I am concerned for you. I like a loose-fitting pair of pants once in a while. But this work look is...professorial-end-of-semester-6th-cup-of-coffee vibe. #thesemesterfromhell #highered

@steph_teasley Naps during the week, writing well into Sunday.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Was recently asked. "Is Pineapple is a legit topping for Pizza?"

As a pizza-eating, native New Yorker, I replied, "Is Pepperoni a legit topping for a Pina Colada?"

And the conversation ended there.

@ArizonaCrusader Advice from my chair: ""Really, what church are you with? Oh, I'm an 'xxx'. Thank you anyway," and proceed to close the door. Our home came with a sign on the door about no religion/politics/sales; we kept it up. :D

@rbueling Pants are leg prisons and flying sucks. Meh.
