picking at your skin is OK if you feel like this time it will really truly make it smooth

construction in the apt next to me means distracting my dogs by blaring animated disney movies. sorry to my other neighbors if you hear Lady and the Tramp - I promise it is less grating than my dogs’ barking.

i am listening to a 8yr old explain to his 5?yr old brother why this car rental place smells. he is creative, to say the least.

Oh interesting I've never heard of these two.

Please amplify: over 500 @cuny faculty across 25 campuses signed an open letter criticizing @ChancellorCUNY's decision to call in the NYPD on the Gaza encampment, highlight the different charges CUNY students are facing from Columbia students, and call on him to drop the charges.

#WKCR #Columbia Student Radio: We can independently confirm there were students in Hamilton (Hind’s) Hall. Shafik’s “outside agitator” claim that’s being reported on CNN right now is false. “They are our peers.”

I'm seeing so many Republican women talking about a national abortion ban as a Democratic 'scare tactic' - they're repeating the GOP talking point that they'll never have enough votes for a federal ban.

So let me tell you why that doesn't matter & they can ban abortion anyway

i don’t have thoughts on ozempic because i won’t tell other people what decisions to make w/ their health, but the sheer frequency of ads for a drug i am not eligible for is kind of wild.

someone needs to write a historicized account of the ramping down of expectations for undergrads alongside the ramping up of expectations for grad students

[Cat @catchampney]

and before someone comes on here about how i need to pay back what i “owe,” none of us truly owe these random companies an immoral percentage of interest to manage the account.

[Cat @catchampney]

I was on the phone with the company that owns my student loans (lol) for 60min last night, waiting for a supervisor who ended up fixing my problem in less than 5 minutes

[Cat @catchampney]

the people i spoke to were nice and admitted i had done everything correctly, but i can’t help being suspicious that they hoped I would just hang up and continue to accrue that interest (which they have now taken off my balance entirely)

thinking about my ex who always said please and thank you when he asked chatGPT a question and when I asked him why he said “when it becomes sentient and powerful it will remember who was polite”
