All jokes aside, the world is a heavy and terrifying place, but taking time regularly to just be silly and move your body is truly medicinal in these weird times.

Do you want a little internal peace? Move your body, listen to music, breathe deeply, and release.

I just hope she has the decency to email the two candidates who didn’t get the job after fly-out.

I hate this “weird” messaging. Dont tip around misogyny and racism. These are belief systems that they are espousing. White Replacement Theory is because of women not having babies. It’s not “weird”, it’s white nationalism ideology. To label it “weird” lessens the danger it reflects. Banning contraception. Banning books for immorality, are all in the playbook of a fascist movement. The Khmer Rouge killed anyone who wore glasses because they believed they were the intellectual class and a threat to their regime. It’s not “weird” is offensive

Many of us in existing movement spaces are aware of Kamala's shortcomings and what she represents. We also know that another Trump term has the very real possibility of shutting down any forward progress.

Guess I'm pragmatic. Can't do shit if we've all been rounded up.

Fellow white ladies. Get over it. Whatever it is, get past it right now. We’re gonna elect a black woman president and I promise you it’s gonna be amazing. Get on board, no reservations.

To everyone appalled by NYT's July 4 op-ed "Why I don't vote. And maybe you shouldn't either", note that 1) author Matthew Walther DID vote in both 2020 and 2022, and 2) he's an extremist Catholic graduate of Hillsdale College, part of the religious-right faction behind Jan 6. 1/

American women are pushed to serve as a substitute social safety net — no matter how well educated or well-paid they are, says the author of a new book. https://t.co/Xf57NMRidk

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Joe Biden is a rich old white man who will be fine no matter who you vote for. You won’t be hurting him. He will be on water skis in Hawaii riding into the sunset while your Grandma can’t get her blood pressure meds & your pregnant friend is bleeding out in the parking lot.

Who does the academic housework? A new study from Denmark reveals the strategies that mid career men embrace to avoid internal service work - ignoring emails (evasion) and cultivating a reputation for being disorganized. https://t.co/TES8Dw8idb

Solidarity is y’all also stop applying to ivy leagues in the USA.

Start making new education systems that don’t teach you how to become a powerful and abusive person but those that encourage free thinking, questioning, and community.

A lot of what is happening in Palestine is also because these ivy schools curated a society that claims to graduate entire cohorts that do “good” (rather become successful) and it’s almost always at the expense of others, even populations across the ocean.

The USA as it currently stands will never be a teacher nor guardian on justice until it reckons with its own abusive history.

That reckoning is on us. Refusal to give more clout to war mongering education systems.

Let them fire all the professors standing with Palestine. Leave them to their insanity. Build new schools.

The USA is a state that not only ethnically cleansed entire population but then IMPORTED and enslaved other populations so that they do the manual labor of their state building project.

Y’all we REALLY have to wake up.

Yes I’m a helpless city loving urbanite who loves the convenience of apartment ownership. Yes I also want a questionable Victorian mansion in a small town to retreat to so I can living ghost-max. You either get that vibe or you don’t idk

Generation X is vicious. We haven't mellowed with age. Just out of fucks and meaner.

Heathers came out of our generation. We are the mean girls of generations.

Obviously, this isn't everyone for you literal people, but you get the idea.

To be honest, I’m pretty socially awkward. It’s just relative to other academics that it seems like I’m not.

@keithroysdon I encourage you all to go. Rachel Price's voice is so amazing, but the energy of the band elevates the whole performance.
