Let's all just admit that today is exhausting and sad, and that we are not OK. https://t.co/eXRKkpDePM

My article in 20CL just got posted online! But in an ironic twist that feels all too symptomatic of our current academic moment, I don't have library privileges and therefore can't download it. https://t.co/gPCo5qBSXS

@magsrdoherty is brilliant on "The Rise of Adjunct Lit." "Excessive education might not earn you a job or help you achieve financial stability, but it can help you narrate desperate circumstances with a kind of indulgent accuracy." https://t.co/HUgehD7zUf

This poem is about COVID, right?

"And if sun comes How shall we greet him?
Shall we not dread him,
Shall we not fear him
After so lengthy a
Session with shade? ..."

Also, Phil's Quebecois cousin is named "Fred la Marmotte."

Public Service Announcement: The Wikipedia article for Punxsutawney Phil is my new favorite thing.

[Madison Priest @madison_priest]

An elixir and (magical, it seems) acacia wood cane are involved. Select people can speak "grounhogese," and Phil has PHollowers.

@dustin82 Yes to Stein’s 3 Lives. Also Dorothy Parker, “Big Blonde.”

[Mikki Kendall @Karnythia]

They truly expect no consequences. I want y'all to think about that

[El Norte Recuerda @Vanessid]

Reminder fo what capitol "security" in full military-grade riot gear looked like for Black Lives Matter protests this summer.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

Calling on @SaraNAhmed's brilliant thinking about Complaint as I begin "diversity work" outside of the academy: "A complaint becomes a recording device; you have to record what you do not want to reproduce." https://t.co/1aY9Y7pRl6

Didn't plan to tweet today, but can’t resist a few quick takes on @pfizer vaccine news https://t.co/CUytUmMTRg
