🚨 Psychologists say leaving a toxic job can repair your nervous system faster than a year of therapy

[Spectra @spectraimsim]

unbelievably grim that you can ignore the prompt of an assignment to go on a barely coherent screed where you call your professor a "demon," then when your professor gives you undeservedly thoughtful feedback and a bad grade you can run to the media and get her placed on leave

just found out that this woman, who lives in my neighborhood, was once a go-go dancer and Warhol Factory star. she has her own Wikipedia page. I was able to google her because on the back of her wheelchair she's taped a picture of herself with Andy Warhol, hand-captioned "ME!"

Happy Mother’s Day from @UnionDrip—remember, if he’s not in a union, he’s not worth your daughter’s time (Mother Jones said so in 1905).

@uncanny_eli I cannot remember the last time I consistently got 100s. Like that’s not usually a real grade, especially for writing assignments? 🤷🏻

[raquel @bookslingerraq]

@uncanny_eli I’m getting full 100s on half assed essays and I’m pretty sure it’s because the professors are just excited to read a real human being’s thoughts.

“The government’s entire case against Rumeysa is based on the same one-paragraph memo from the State Department to ICE that just points back to Rumeysa’s op-ed.”

“Ozturk said she is one of 24 people in a cell that has a sign stating a capacity for 14.”

@communoah honestly implosion / derailing / rough periods are so common for any org within 100 ft of the words “trans” or “marxist” that i’d bet $$ readers understand 2021 can be worlds away from the same name in 2025

at a bar tonight I overheard a woman say “she said I was loyal like a mafioso” so of course I kept listening. A friend had betrayed her in some major way. She then dropped “I’m never going to be so irrational that I hurt my friend.”
10/10 would eavesdrop again
