New boot goofin’

I’m pretty sure that I pulled a muscle in my neck while in pain from the kidney stone. I haven’t been able to properly move my neck since Thursday. (Also the stone is still with me)

Bodies are a nightmare. When can I become a robot?

Both of us were in the hospital yesterday. He got a few teeth pulled and was very brave. I still have my stupid kidney stone

Stone watch Day 2: still in torment.

I’ve got a dissertation defense tomorrow morning that I can’t really miss. Please send good vibes to me and bad vibes to my kidney stone.

Try telling my body that! It doesn’t listen to me

This week has been really frustrating. So when the projector wouldn't work in class this morning, i just gave up and sent everybody home. Top notch professoring.

I’ve reached my limit with the mundane tasks of low level academic administration. No one is allowed to ask me to do anything for the next 48 hours. Praise will still be accepted and is expected

Have you ever seen/read the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman? My partner says that I should imagine how my daemon (a guinea pig) would feel if I was being so mean to it. I can’t be mean to a cute animal!

Thanks for this! Glad you took the time you needed.

I struggle to give myself the same grace that I would give to others

Missed an important committee meeting today (I was dealing with some grad student issues) and I will beat myself up about for the next several days. How do I learn to be kinder to myself?

I’m embarrassed that my score of 11% is higher than yours

Florida bans sociology from core curriculum at state universities For years, Republican lawmakers and education leaders have argued that sociology — especially high-enrollment introductory courses — has been overtaken by progressive ideology

Another day another attack on higher ed, academic freedom, and critical thinking

I'm giving a guest lecture in an art history seminar next week & I hope I don't scare the students off by starting with a clip from the 1971 film Como Era Gostoso o Meu Francês (How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman). I'll turn off the english captions & ask them to figure out what's going on.

US’s new ‘brand ambassador’: A Hooters-loving, ‘Alpha Male’ Trump nominee Nick Adams, an Australian-American social media influencer, was previously Trump’s pick to be ambassador to Malaysia.

It's hard to even be outraged by this shit anymore. It's just so stupid.

“Gordon Gee to be deposed in Ohio State abuse case”

What did I accomplish over Spring Break, you ask?

Behold: rectangles!

Very true!

Family of monsters.

Ha! It’s fine, I’m a pretty morbid and pessimistic person by nature

Oh wow! I’ve heard similar stories second hand. I truly don’t understand the mental gymnastics people perform to defend him even today

It’s been incredibly hard. I went to high school with several of Gajdusek’s adopted children. I am really proud of the work that I am doing, but it takes a toll.
