A year ago, people were posing with their binded dissertations here. No binding this year, but if I can finish my dissertation in a global pandemic, surely I can talk my way past security for the photo I promised myself when I submitted 😂

@enterrob We were never his people, only his pawns 😔

There lots of terrifying and infuriating videos. This one has the added layer of being heartbreaking as the guy was just talking peacefully and empathetically from the heart.

Like most of us, over the last few days I’ve felt horror at the #GeorgeFloyd murder & the resulting unrest.

And I've just not known what to do.

Here's a THREAD of resources & suggestions (many from other people more qualified than I) for anyone also thinking WHAT CAN I DO?!

Mother tongue speakers and foreign language students welcome! I'm about 60% finished with data collection and still have room for volunteers! Cure that lockdown boredom and help make a crazy grad student less crazy… https://t.co/vbOkWnoc31

@RouReynolds Also relied heavily on the sheer talent and work ethic you possess! The acoustic sets are really highlighting your voice-love that you use such a wide range. Vocal training has been intimidating for me so it's admirable to say the least. Shits hard 😆 ES made a masterpiece

[Marybeth (MB) @its_MaryBeth]

Thx for answering! the nostril trick was super helpful today. Loved you mentioned neuroplasticity- my dissertation I'm doing now is about NP and bilingualism so made loads of sense to consider this practice as experience-based NP too. Taxi study was dope, btw! @RouReynolds

[Marybeth (MB) @its_MaryBeth]

@Truman_Black Thank you!!!!

[Marybeth (MB) @its_MaryBeth]

@the1975 @Truman_Black I see we're not streaming the deluxe version! Strategic move to avoid the #playantichrist questions eh? 😉

[Marybeth (MB) @its_MaryBeth]

Question(s) if I may? Do you get too used to the sensation of the claps?Do your anchors become less effective the more you use them? Would playing some anchor switcheroo be a good idea or is that kind of defeating the point? Thanks for penciling us in again 🙏 @RouReynolds

Check this out if research during the apocalypse has done you in 😵↓↓↓

Thought I was just shit at meditation- glad I'm not the only one who can't deal with people asking me to summon my energy into a beam of light that hoovers my mind. Thanks @RouReynolds for no bs today. Sans candles, kumbaya, and yet managed to get some chill. Thank you 🙏

@AnaVK Thank you for sharing this wee clip! Am technologically challenged and attempted to record a bit but alas...🤦‍♀️

@herculisaa I guess we're still searching far and wide for a planet to orbit 😂

Waltzing off the face of the earth- been so anxious since December. Working on it and honestly this song was playing for the first time in a long time that I truly felt ok. Not just ok. Great, really. I'll always love that memory whenever I hear this. TY ❤️#ShikariParty
