I got rejected from another minimum wage job today because my PhD means I’m too qualified — never mind there aren’t openings for jobs in qualified for.

Sometimes I wish those Neo Nazis had managed to kill me in 2019, instead of “just” costing me my career.

It was my purpose.

It’s been so hard to hang on to the light since then; patreon angels of mine, I feel a post coming on.

This one’s gonna be just for subscribers, because it just feels too personal right now.
(Rant brought on by a phone convo with my heart and soul @_Shan_Martinez_ . I was telling her about the last university class I got to teach, and those memories just ripped my heart wide open again. Professors, treasure the chance you’ve been given to make a difference.)
Anyway, thanks for listening, Twitter people. If you’re seeing this, I love you to bits.

This is now the only platform I’ve got to do what I can and try to make some positive change.

And I’m thankful you’re here. Goodnight with gratitude. 💚

Former student just texted me to say she missed me, this happened, and I couldn’t be prouder. Image

So we’re going to need to discuss this.
I’ve had a raging migraine most of today, so be patient with me. This will likely be a slow thread - sitting in the dark and can’t sleep from the pain, so what the hell? Why not rant.
Josh Mandel is Jewish. His grandparents survived the Holocaust.

So this “CRT vs. GOD” reference of his, with it very long, very racist, [and very well-documented] history, is…

Facts - @BrotherAli is exactly what I need to lift my spirits. Mashallah.
The human soul yearns to be free, it's all the same

And I empty everything in the bank to give for it

I empty all the days of my life to live for it

I empty all the blood in my veins to fight for it

I empty all the ink in this pen to write for it

-@BrotherAli
“I know it feels like the whip wounds will never mend / But it's the way of makin the oppressed prevalent men / We standin with humanity at destiny's door / Chanting the war cry “Never no more" / Y’all tryina talk about horrors you see / Feel free to tell your stories through me”

The moral(s) of this story:

1) don’t use gmail

2) when adopting kitten #1, make sure he’s not a Maine Coon

3) when adopting kitten #2, look up “savannah cat” before making that decision
