@nailogical @holotaco thank you for making grad school finals bearable with your hilarious videos and beautiful nail polish 🤪 love the #lisafrank vibes this color combo is giving me 🌈

@ColleenB123 Just saw your latest Vlog and I wanna wrap you in the biggest hug possible. I'm so sorry you're going thru such a hard time right now. My mental health's been pretty sucky lately, too, so if I can offer any consolation, please know that you are not alone in this. <3

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@DrJonathanRosa I can't thank you enough for sharing this♥️This is my second attempt at getting a phd, and the embarrassment I feel in class when I have no idea what's going on, b/c I'd never read Theorist X or didn't understand the readings, is profound. Thanks a million times over😊

@NikkieTutorials While I’m relieved to know that you and Dylan are physically ok, I cannot imagine the emotional turmoil you’re in the middle of processing. Not that you need anyone’s permission, but please take as much time as you need. I’m so sorry. I’m sending you prayers of strength and hope.

When will Melissa Fumero play AOC and Andy Samberg play Zuckerberg in a sketch where she reduces him to tears with logic when will I see this

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@Dr_B_Pearl Ooh! Can I please be added?!

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@nickjonas So happy for you! You’re gonna be phenomenal! When I saw you mentor with Kevin and Joe on Songland, I was in awe of your gift for identifying and enhancing others’ musical talent. Excited to see the journey ahead 🤗

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

As a Latina swimming in the choppy waters of academia, I cannot emphasize enough how EMPOWERING it is knowing someone’s in your corner.

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

I just wanna give a shout out to all the professors providing genuine, empathetic mentorship to students of Color. Today, a former professor of mine gave me the boost I needed to re-apply to grad school, all by sitting down with me and reminding me that my voice matters.

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

Anyone out there who’s switched grad programs before that can offer some words of wisdom? I was recently terminated, and I’m struggling to figure out how frame it without beating myself up. All suggestions welcome but please be gentle; the loss is still raw. #AcademicTwitter

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

Ok #AcademicTwitter: I’ve just been let go from my PhD program. I want to apply to other programs, but I’m scared. How do I address this situation to other schools? Should I ask for recommendations from my old department? What keeps you going in the face of adversity?

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@FeketeSamantha Honestly, same here 👋 Phew!

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

To the powers that be, please don’t do this. Please don’t allow your petty money issues to destroy an incredible franchise. We need him. #SaveSpidey

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@joejonas Happy Birthday! Thank you for being such a lighthearted, compassionate, goofy person! Have a wonderful day!

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@psychanthro PLEASE publish the syllabus (so long as you’re comfortable with doing so)! I’d love to follow along virtually 🤗

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@DrJonathanRosa @DrJonathanRosa I can’t even begin to express how meaningful this is. I’m very early in my graduate studies, and I’ve been discouraged with the resistance to engage in the kind of work you’re describing — thank you for affirming that there is a place for us and for our work. 🙏

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@terrycrews happy anniversary and happy birthday! 🎉 thanks for setting such a wonderful example of vulnerability and courage ♥️ I happen to share a birthday with you and was wondering if you could make my birthday wish come true with a follow? No pressure! Enjoy your day 🤗

[Amanda Marie Rivera @amanda_m_rivera]

@AOC hi 🤗 not sure if you’ll see this, but I just wanted to let you know that as the daughter of proud Nuyoricans, your passion for social justice and your fierce tenacity in the face of opposition inspires me so much. Thank you for reminding me to keep going ♥️🇵🇷
