Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

If you're on here, miss Tate, I'm so sorry, but your fifth graders think you're mean and smile like labubu.

The students are SO BACK. Two freshmen nervously opened the door to my office suite. I asked them what they needed, of course.

"We need books. Where are they?"

All around us, friend. This is a library. But some students have never visited one! I don't mind, I love explaining what libraries do.

I said to one of my nursing faculty that my retirement plan was to work in the library until they found me dead in the stacks.

She looked at me and with deep sincerity mused, "I truly cannot imagine a better place to die than school".

A deep, dark fear of mine was that gen alpha will exhume #Homestuck, but millenials have instead chosen to do it to ourselves.

My interpersonal drama-loving husband and I's relationship is so disgustingly healthy that we invent beef between our D&D characters.

He plays a lovable kenku street rat who taught himself engineering. I play a cunty winter eladrin trying to make tenure at a magic R1.

My boss has a raccoon in her attic that no one can find or catch but she hears it scratching. It is driving her mad and I HAVE to improve as a writer so I can write this bona fide Appalachian Gothic novella.

Me, a teen hick: "Yeah, I'm country, but I'm not trailer trash country."

Me, a whole faculty status medical librarian: "Damn, I wish I could afford this 320k double wide on 3 acres."
