might do some boomer shit and write this guys office, he's my state assembly rep. I know that they don't read those letters, this is self care.

your district includes a UC campus where there was literally a strike due in large part to workers not being able to afford rent.

decriminalizing marijuana, forgiving student debt, breaking elsevier by requiring free journal access…he grows a beard, Biden will have the male graduate student vote pretty much sewn up

telling my advisor it’s not about the numerics when they point out none of my hypotheses are true.

Man. People really didn't get this tweet.

Yes, I know the US is an archipelago of blue islands in a sea of red. I bounce between those two extremes more than most, I suspect.

@sarahmoreorless some kind of pomodoro timer app

opening up my prospectus to learn what my own theory for an application. It’s been a long quarter folks.

[Alex Ross @aross005]

Am I saying that I may have the gift of prophecy? No, of course not. I am merely saying that, when I go on the job market, the possibility that I do is maybe something that cannot be definitively discounted by hiring departments.

[Alex Ross @aross005]

Made this joke the day of my first class in grad school. Since then there’s been a literal plague, a riot at the US capital, and a nuclear power has gone to war in Europe.

[Alex Ross @aross005]

Political science is like epidemiology in that when it’s a really exiting time to be in the field it’s probably a terrible time to be alive

@fulyafelicity vaccination isn't honor system, you have to submit proof of booster status. the 'wellness check' is a joke though, yeah absolutely.

[Alex Ross @aross005]

really surprised UCR actually put us back in person. thought for sure the whole quarter was gonna be online.

[Alex Ross @aross005]

in conclusion:

[Alex Ross @aross005]

there's clearly an inflection point of risk above which those costs are worth paying and below they aren't. but not only do we not agree on what that point is, we disagree on where we even are on the scale, because the data is messy.
