Where did the time go?
Poem with the following lines: Where did the time go? I’m still trying to find it, Spinning and spinning and I can’t quit, I like to believe I go with the flow, Adrift in a stream of life, Baring all strife, But as the rain turns to snow, I wonder where the time has gone, If I’m nothing but a con, If there’s space for me to grow, Or am I just to wilt? Destroy all that I’ve built? Where did the time go? Has it abandoned me? Spirited away and free? Am I left here to know, Everything I haven’t done? All that hasn’t yet begun? Please tell me the answer is no, Let me reach out and grab it back, Don’t leave me feeling like a hack, Come back to life so that I can grow, There’s happiness to be snatched, Wounds to be patched, Tell me, where did the time go?

This past month our 9 year old dog Maddie dealt with a serious cancer scare, but after a bunch of tests were ran she appears to be in the clear! Such a strange feeling after weeks of fearing the worst

This Jeffries response was when I knew we weren’t going to see any meaningful resistance from federal Dem leadership. How is this your response to Baraka’s arrest???
Hakeem Jeffries quote: “in terms of how we will respond to what Trump and the administration has endeavored to do, we will make that decision in a time, place, and manner of our choosing. But the response will be continuous and it will meet the moment that is required”

It's always incredibly funny to read theses when doing research and seeing how the more relaxed rules around language allow for some real humor to shine through in an otherwise serious piece. 10/10, no notes #academicsky
"To conclude the thesis, I discuss the validity of different responses to the "cultural trauma" (Brulle & Norgaard, 2019) of climate change without taking a firm stance on which is better, which I'm sure will appease everyone and not lead to further probing questions"

Lead has held steady at around 8% since it hit 50% of the vote, Cuomo needs to keep chipping away if he wants to win

Mamdani up 43-35 over Cuomo with 54% of the vote in

#AcademicSky #PhDChat Wrapped up a grad class and got this feedback from the professor on my performance. So that's pretty fucking cool
"It was really great having you in class Cassie! You clearly knew not just the readings, but greater context for them. What most impressed me was your ability over the course of semester to increasingly (1) hold back from giving answers to classmates who did not know the answers (2) ability to combine that with really constructive questions and feedback to help classmates improve their work. I'm not sure how to phrase this exactly, but you were an absolutely critical cog in motivating class discussions, keeping them on point, and tying them to larger literatures. AND you were/are super positive and helpful in how you delivered feedback on peer work. I could learn a lot from you on that because I tend towards the negative! I'm looking forward to where you go in MA research and beyond."

I posted a few days back about how I've got a lot of relatively unknown music I absolutely love, so I thought I'd start posting about some of them weekly! I'll just keep it simple and call it the Indie Album of the Week.

This week's album: Everything And You, by Dreams We've Had
