My cousin (other side) just described to me a few months ago his training before being sent as MK to South America. It was very similar to ep 2 of SHP (down to the fake customs line and boot camp training). They weren't with TM, but the AOG & TM had to be sharing/informing the same playbook, no?

👋 Hi friend! As someone with ADHD, this hit hard. I'm still wrapping up my last IOI statement before I move on to grading. 😅 Oh, and I just remembered I haven't finished writing the final I'm supposed to give Monday at 8am. 🙃

These are helpful. The only question I've heard/read in relation to job interviews doesn't translate well to academia, though it's also a good litmus test for if they can admit mistakes: "Tell us about a personal opinion you've changed over the last year."

What do I win, you may be asking yourself, dear reader? I spend a lot more time on emails than anyone else, probably. 🥴

Neither here nor there, but: it's nice to see you on here. Just wanted to let you know.

[Also, to go back to the "how to look hot" discussion: you'd rock a slip dress and chunky boots (because the 90s are back)!]

I'm not sure I've epitomized before the far right's boogeyman of a college professor quite like today. 🏅

I'm terrible at posting anywhere these days, but Twitter has felt like a ghost town recently since the mass exodus this summer.
