@AutisticCallum_ Man…this is the story of my life. RIP Honey peanut butter Luna bars.

@guyinblackhat Sad I won’t see you there. But safety comes first!

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@AutisticCallum_ I feel this so strongly! My husband never listens closely to song lyrics and it is incomprehensible to me.

We need to stop judging people (particularly neurodivergents) for their house not being clean enough

The 🇪🇺🇺🇸 relationship would not be as strong as it is today without partners like @UNCEurope. For 30 years, this center for EU studies has helped a generation of Americans understand the EU and its importance for the U.S. and transatlantic affairs. Here's to many more decades!

@ksederbe This made me lol!

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@tnflorvil Can we encourage more grad students to review books? Are journals receptive if a grad student writes to them and offers to review a book?

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@tnflorvil OMG

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@tnflorvil Yeah I thought it was entertaining. For a movie about a plastic doll, I thought Greta Gerwig made a good job finding a blend of commercialism and subversiveness. Can you believe he’s going to be 10 next month?!

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

Saw the Barbie movie this weekend. Twice! Because I loved it so much. I took my 9-year-old the second time. The only question he had was “What’s fascism?” So I said we should probably watch The Hunger Games, because I am finding it hard to put that in kid terms.

[Kathryn Sederberg @ksederbe]

@WLLLCoalition Sending strength

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@tnflorvil Oh no she didn’t!

[Priscilla L. @pdlayne]

@tnflorvil Sending you hugs. ❤️
