Oh I have thoughts…Graduate programs at university’s like UC have to be “self supporting” which is basically a pay for degree scheme with any expectation of actual intellectual rigor already a joke. Add AI and the last expectation of any human critical thought is gone. All is for sale.

Tomorrow will be 2 months since my mom passed and I just realized my mind and body are doing this too. Grief is a trip. ❤️‍🩹

I’m sorry the world is so gross. Congrats on your accomplishments (which nasty posters could clearly not achieve) also sorry academia is often just as gross for us.

Yes, so all of this. Exhausting. Trust us we’re fighting for you! (thump thump go the wheels of the bus…)

I feel exactly the same. Totally abandoned.

If every university, law firm, governor, federal judge, CEO, member of the press… banded together in solidarity against the current tyrannical regime we would be rid of it. The United States is falling because our most powerful institutions and individuals are also the most cowardly and complicit.

Insanity. Gross violation of any freedom our country used to pride itself on.
