Would anyone be interested in a thread on Black futurity and how it includes but exceeds Afrofuturism? #PhDSky #AcademicSky #

TFW a student writes in their weekly reflection that your breakdown of what a citation needs (1. who wrote it? 2. what did they call it? 3. how did they distribute it?) makes writing citations easy. #LibrarySky #AcademicSky

I need some affirmation that just because I am struggling with my dissertation doesn't mean I am constitutively bad at it. That just because I cannot see a future in which I succeed at this doesn't mean such a future is impossible. Likes or comments welcome. #PhDSky

Sometimes self-care is allowing yourself to stop pulling quotes for a close reading 15 pages before the death of a beloved character and promising yourself that tomorrow you only have to do those 15 pages. #PhDSky #AcademicSky

let's stop saying "first [marginalized group member] to win" and go with "this is the first time the Academy has been willing to honor [marginalized group]" instead to put the shame where it belongs #Oscars

Someone please reassure me about the fact that I spent untold hours drafting one paragraph yesterday and don't feel done with it? #PhDSky

You know that feeling when you get accepted to a conference but then you reread your own abstract and think, damn. Now I have to figure out how to write that? Me either. #YesIDo #AcademicSky #PhDSky

Being on the job market is going to give me agita. I just got an email from one of the schools I applied to and was all oooooooo! But then it was just a formality and not an update on my application. I suppose at least I can be sure that they got my application? #AcademicSky #PhDSky

A bookshop owner in Southampton, England asked for help when he moved his library due to high rent. He was surprised when more than 250 people showed up & formed a human chain to transfer books from the old place to the new place. The job was done in an hour. #Goodpeople

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Hey #AcademicSky! Hey #PhDSky! Can we get a thread going of who is going to be at #MLA2025 in NOLA next week? I'll be presenting on time and disability in African American literature.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.
Science works, y'all.

"You will be haunted," resumed the Ghost, "by Three Spirits."
Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done.
"So you and two others, Jacob?" he demanded, in a faltering voice.
"No. Three more."
"So four spirits" said Scrooge.
The ghost’s head dropped as it sighed. “Fuck’s sa
