I recently got to look at the shelves of a very private person, someone I have known a while but didn't really *know*... The person I saw on those shelves was someone for whom I felt an instant kinship, a desire to offer friendship. If there were a word for that kind of love...? I fall in it.

TYSM for the good vibes, you guys did it Super surprisingly great interview! Actually a pretty good way to head into this afternoon's hard stuff later. Anyway, you're the best, I hope you, personally, have a surprisingly good day 💙

Almost every young woman academic I know (including myself) has been targeted and belittled, sexually or otherwise, at some point by a higher-ranking man. After the state of the job market, it’s probably the number two thing I warn prospective grad students about.

UW-Madison professor engages in multiple sexual relationships with students, disparages another over their sexual orientation and appearance, creates hostile environment, and department leadership covers it all up. And in true “pass the trash” fashion, moves on to ASU once forced to resign.

I know how selfish this is but this afternoon is going to be so hard. Going to be w/my mom for lap of love vet to come for her kitty, who's her only company now. It's less than 2 weeks since the 2 year anniversary of losing my Dad. It already hurts my heart thinking of how hard this is for her

People saying Emanuel doesn't have a prayer of being president: I would tend to agree, but I have heard this reasonably and earnestly said about people who then became president, so I think staying riled up in opposition is important.

when you believe in UBI, it's hard to think "wow that disabled person isn't trying hard enough to work" maybe they shouldn't HAVE to work. maybe they should have a role in society that's safe, comfortable, & "productive" in their own way (incl making art, having meaningful convos, learning stuff)
