@Karnythia I’ve been asking this question since I was a kid driving from NC to IL for family visits. Always wondered which was erected first…

Really great time listening & learning from these presentations

[Mona Eltahawy @monaeltahawy]

In 1943–just 20yrs before Annie Ernaux had her illegal abortion–France executed abortionist Marie-Louise Giraud by guillotine. She was the last person executed for abortion in France. Ernaux’s autobiographical novel about her abortion is now a film https://t.co/fDLQxVvFyI

@_JessiePadilla @AcademicChatter I second Zotero. I like that you can use hashtags to connect themes in the articles you have/write notes about.

[Leah Wilson @wilsonleahe]

@ElizaD_HP Ah yes, I used to listen to them while working as an admin for the US Army recruitment center…

@GongDonkey So, as a Millennial, I’d just say “guess I’ll just not use gas anymore” which is also why I’ll never really know if I have a new shellfish allergy after a horrible reaction to shrimp at a conference-“$900 for an allergy test? Guess I’ll die.”

another day, another tweet begging you guys to find another woke CEO to retweet whose ex-wife did not credibly accuse him of years of abuse including literally waterboarding her https://t.co/sObu6pPVfA

@LetterWings These visit my yard sometimes and they are so fun!

[Leah Wilson @wilsonleahe]

@ZMoeg Glad I’m not alone—last quarter I had two new preps, this quarter I have three, next quarter one. And still applying for jobs. What is a weekend?

@GongDonkey To clarify, students in dorms have weekly testing. Vaxes, boosters, and masks required.

[Leah Wilson @wilsonleahe]

@GongDonkey Santa Clara is for students who live in the dorms (most students) and encouraging it for off-campus students. All students had to have 2 tests when they arrived back to campus. We still have a 10% + rate (with an online start) and they’ve run out of places to isolate students.

@moon_lezbian Lol, it gets worse!

[Leah Wilson @wilsonleahe]

@Mqtjuiced @_JessiePadilla @AcademicChatter Depends on your chair….mine gave me a lot of freedom, but it was a little anxiety-inducing . Fyi @_JessiePadilla have you checked out the former exam lists the dept has? Used to be on BB, maybe on Canvas now?

@JortsTheCat My cat Yogi wearing a baby shirt (it had Oscar the Grouch on it) after losing her front leg in an accident. 11 years later she is still going strong, but I’m sure she’d kill me if I tried to put her in a baby shirt again.

@pen_and_think @LacyHope2020 Thanks. Not that there is ever good timing for such things, it broke down (and is a total loss) at a particularly bad time. C’est la vie.

[Leah Wilson @wilsonleahe]

@pen_and_think @LacyHope2020 As someone whose 06 Prius’s engine just failed at 251k miles, I wish I had known premium could extend the car life!

This is probably the first time I’ve seen someone wearing WSU gear and feel genuine “Go Cougs” pride

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

When you feel really bummed out you can think about farm workers showing solidarity to IATSE members for the right to adequate rest breaks
