Okay deleting this app today. I had no idea what it was until I got a notification. It’s too much for me. I’ll miss quite a few awesome scholars I follow.

The women will still all be 20-something. Boring. Pay writers and actors so we can have good tv.

#TheGoldenBachelor star Gerry Turner is described by the network as a “charming 71-year-old patriarch,” who will show that love stories “only get better with age.” https://t.co/OkyWlsUlMZ

Holy crap. Some of my writing is still on there.

Hey y’all. Take all your shit off google docs. All of it. They’re scraping it and training AI on it. Don’t share documents via gmail either. Put it all on a drive.

And yes, you agreed to it on the terms of service years ago.

Love this thread so much. Partnerships are not simply 50/50 on everything. It’s about helping each other as it makes sense.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about being disabled as a single person and being disabled as a couple. I spend 4 long years single and two years coupled. The difference between these two changed my life and has given my far more capacity. I don’t think that’s something we talk about.

@tifflangston @soulphoodie I have a Blendtec. It doesn’t have a million gadgets. It’s just a blender that blends literally anything.

I really need therapists of men to do better. Y’all are enabling some toxic and often abusive behavior. Like they go to therapy to get their toxic ideas validated? No.

I don’t teach books over 200 pgs. I want depth and quality in terms of instruction too. 400-500 pages? Write two books. Thanks.

[Moniza Hossain @moniza_hossain]

You know what I don’t get? Kids want shorter books. Librarians are begging for shorter books. Parents are desperately looking for shorter books. Writers want to write shorter books. Paper is apparently very expensive. And yet, for some reason, books continue to be very long

Me just scanning Twitter to see who else I follow is on Threads.

What are we going to stop getting tetanus shots too? Oh wait. I hate it here. There are plenty of ways to get helpful bacteria into your system that aren’t pointlessly dangerous.

I think about billionaires a lot (kinda my job?) so let me say this:

Most every billionaire on the planet would happily kill you for an extra few points on their investment. This isn't theoretical, it literally happens. They literally make decisions they know will kill people.

Some you don’t realize you grew up in horribly dysfunctional families and it shows (mainly through co-dependence).

I haven’t been able to process how angry and scared this should make all of us.

The Supreme Court ruled the U.S. govt is not responsible for ensuring water access for Indigenous tribes in a 5-4 vote.

Nearly 1 in 3 people who live on the Navajo Nation reservation do not have access to clean water, despite living alongside the Colorado River.

As someone who doesn’t have to deal with this because students self- assess and peer assess by the end of the year, I will says there’s absolutely heightened anxiety about reaching the perfect grade that has been on the increase in the last four years.

See the problem with rich people is they think they are rich because they are smart instead of the truth of the matter is, for the vast majority, it just simply means they are white and their family did inhumane things to humans 4 generations ago to acquire wealth

[Big T @wass3stablish]

A lot of y’all are missing the point cause y’all want to make her seem stupid when in reality she’s correct her race is BLACK her ethnicity is Puerto Rican!! If she doesn’t want to go by afro Latino she doesn’t need to cause she knows she’s BLACK .

[Gigi in the undercommons @todainreverse]

This is too real.
