Heads of state are elected every 4-5 years because that's how long it takes the average human being to make a brand new set of friends

Alive for now. The whole ventilator thing doesn’t sound good.

Looks like Rushdie’s alive, but will lose an eye and has had damage to his arm and liver.

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

[Profromance, Ph.D. @prof_romance]

PSA: Caste is not a metaphor to be used to complain about any damn thing you can’t have. Casteist violence and oppression is a millennia long and ongoing system of subjugation for some of us.

Honestly, the only NY thing I’ve been into this year

@digital_sextant I love giving the “sabbaticals are back update”

[Madhurima Chakraborty @PulaoPulao]

@prof_romance I called out this exact part to friends. Perfect.

[Karen Vaughan @vaughan_soil]

I exhausted all possible protocols for a course modality change to reduce COVID exposure for my unvaccinated children.

All requests were denied by the administration. This morning I chose my career over the health and well-being of my children. I hope I don’t regret this. 💔

My five-star chef father is 100% laughing from beyond the deathly veil for not listening to him properly when he gave me his rough recipes.

I suppose I have no choice but to do this via elimination

My 8yo says the one boring thing about me is that I'm always trying to teach him something and now he can just go ahead and finish learning how one signifier can have multiple signifieds attached to it and vice versa from someone else

[Aamer Rahman @aamer_rahman]

[Madhurima Chakraborty @PulaoPulao]

@k5stokes Oh, to feel the safety and security as the object of compassion that hypothetical non-existent victims enjoy anytime that a BIPOC kid is actually killed by the police
