@NC_Renic @cwjroberts no way is this either of us! :D

@JodieNeville @PhDVoice I've had this problem as well, when I write a sentence I then answer the question "and this matters because" at least five times to move the concise nature I'm used to, to the academic expectation.

Mrs.Sahil is expecting, the three kids are doing great, and Mr.Sahil, a former CAF interpreter wants to get to work. If interested /able check out below:

@PhDMumLife @Momademia Good luck today! Sending virtual support

Yesterday, I received a special ask. That was from a Ukrainian for their country. I believe joy & hope have healing power. They keep you stay grounded in the toughest moments. With the traditional folk music of Punjab, today’s joy and hope dedication is for the people of Ukraine.

I am concerned about the perversion of the concept of peacekeeping.

When troops of one country enter the territory of another country without its consent, they are not impartial peacekeepers.

They are not peacekeepers at all.

6) Finally, this is a really tough time and everyone is doing their best.
I'm looking forward to a new 'normal' but also will continue to play spirited games of 'Dino vs Spiderman'. (I'm Dino, I never get to win 🤷‍♀️)

5) There are hazards to working at home with mini co-workers

@OhMyItsPoliSci A fancy version of butter coffee? Maybe I should market it...

@RR_Cotter @PhDVoice @thephdstory @PhDForum I choose to change my name. We have two kids and I like us all having the same last name. I haven't finished my PhD yet, if I'd already finished I might not have done the same. There is no right or wrong (though everyone has an opinion!), Do what feels most right to you.

[Sara Winger @smskinner1]

@Yycdragonlady Feels like it right? Now I'm doing the: do I send my kids to school / dayhome and accept they will get sick and hope it is in fact mild, or do we do an unsupported family lockdown...

@TheGospelOfAsif Looks like a great class! I took the Politics of Race with Dr. Vickers about 15 years ago and it was terrific. The world has changed. Good luck with the class!
