In the bookshop this morning:
PARENTS: “Okay, we’re leaving now.”
CHILD: *pulls another book from the shelf and sits down *
CHILD: “Then I guess this is goodbye.”

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

I am sure every teacher/professor is feeling this… I am dreading going back in the fall. I taught a summer semester, and I wish I didn’t have to. I’m tired.

You ever have to rip your entire soul out of a research proposal because of government oversight and the politicization of science? No? Is that just me? 😅 #reviseandresubmit #academicsky #edusky #academicwriting

It really bothers me that indeed allows employers to just put “competitive salary.” Like please just tell us so I know if it’s a waste of time or not 😭

no one who has traveled sufficiently around the world can conclude that the US is the “greatest country in the world”.

It’s the 4th of July and every channel is showing ‘Independence Day’ on a loop when they should be showing ‘Idiocracy.’

When I see the glee on psychopathic MAGAT faces when they get to open an actual concentration camp called Alligator Alcatraz…
I cannot explain the rage that goes from my head, down to my toes.
Abhorrent from its very conception.
What say you?! 😎✨

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.
All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.
Are the family values in the room with us?
