Overheard at work: "feeds two birds with one scone."

I like that one better.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

I taught a course called Legal Tools of White Supremacy last year focusing on the US and South Africa. Most students had heard of apartheid and Mandela but not much more. They were also really struck, and transformed, by the parallels with the US.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

We need #relaxation just like food and water.
We don't have to earn #rest. It's not optional.

If we don't rest regularly, our #body will crash- #burnout, #mentalhealth issues, #disease, #sickness etc.
Our body will make us rest.

#Working ourselves to #death is not what #life is about.

You've heard of FOMO: the Fear of Missing Out. But have you heard about FOMAR? The Fear of Missing a Reference? Just one more search. One more scan of the literature. What if I miss something? #PhDchat #PhDforum #ECRchat
