If you follow me and I go to your profile and the only thing you post about is politics I probably won't follow you back. No offense intended, I just can't stomach a constant firehose of that kind of content.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

BUT I AM REGULAR HEIGHT I'M AVERAGE 😭😭😭
Josh Johnson makes an excellent, if withering, point that if you feel the need to express that you are "regular height", you are short.

I have definitely explained that average height for an American woman is 5'4" and I'm 5'5" with shoes and hair.

As if everyone else is barefoot and bald.

at my last job our dept head was replaced by someone from industry who is never there & is pretty transparently using the position to make connections & further their future plans. also they sidelined me, a senior admin, on purpose & gave my job away to a random dude. just set shit on fire & leave.
The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.

Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

My dad named his fists Hospital and Graveyard, for reasons I assume are obvious

My dad is not a fighter so it's double funny
I named my fists Iron and Steel because if the first one don't getcha, then the second one will.
I've named my fists Hall and Oates because whoa-oh here they come, watch out boy, they'll chew you up

If you don't have a black cat, you should get one. Having just the shine of their eyes staring out at you from frankly anywhere is top tier.
