I’ve been at staring my manuscript for my written exam (due at midnight) for a week straight and it’s either the best or worst thing I’ve ever written. I’m not even sure if it’s in English anymore
The UC strike resulted in grad students (deservedly) winning better living wages. As suspected, UC is punishing faculty & future students for it. Provost requested all grad programs decrease admissions by ~20% this year, anticipating decrease in # of TAships available

@ProfASwan I’m a first gen student— Mom keeps a short page of notes on me that she updates when I visit. She has on more than one occasion expressed that she doesn’t believe she can understand my work and then in her next breath asks me wonderful, thoughtful questions

Great read below. Seeing a lot of tweets re: overturning Roe vs Wade as a violation of Jewish religious freedom. I don’t disagree with the perspective, but views on abortion are extremely diverse across different Jewish communities
Among Orthodox Jewish women, it is common knowledge which rabbis rule sensitively on abortion. Their names are kept private, their phone numbers discreetly forwarded to a desperate woman.
It happens here, too. And the stories are harrowing.

@jacasiegel Here’s a quick project that requires no sewing and some foundational crochet skills (single crochet, working in the round, increases and decreases). They make awesome gifts!! https://t.co/RSBk2gUope
I was able to apply to four schools with my budget. I qualified for a fee waiver at only one of the four (working part-time, heavily relying on student loans). The only reason I could afford four is because of the waived GRE requirement due to COVID.
It's a historic day for Humboldt and California!
We are now the first polytechnic in Northern California and only the third in the state.
Join us as we reimagine what a polytechnic education looks like!

Super excited to announce that my paper with @mijkenijk “Comparing estimation methods for psychometric networks with ordinal data” is now officially online! This is my first-ever publication, and it’s awesome to finally see it “in print”. https://t.co/bHAK1CQqkq
