@drewda Oh my word we're actually doing this, oh no

so broke but genuinely believe seeing lauren mayberry perform next weekend will solve several of my problems

@schwinghamer yeah, I think that fear can be a big part of it for bystanders which sucks! And I worried about making the situation worse for her if she didn't walk away from the guy, how he'd turn it around on her (like "you humiliated me in public")

Had a familiar awful moment of solidarity on the subway as we exchanged "wtf" looks over the very shitty way a guy was talking to I guess his girlfriend. One guy started to say something when I was getting off but I think no one was sure whether or how to intervene. Turns out when you really need to use it bystander intervention tips just totally evaporate from your brain and you're just panicked!

A Cambrian EXPLOSION? In THIS geology??

@migurski he's clowning on Ricardo and his framing of competitive advantage

I'm so mad that I now understand the specific economic concept that Marx was making fun of with the "linens and coats" bit

Capital is just an extremely verbose diss track for nerds

TFW the new girlfriend hard launch on IG is how you find out about someone's divorce

A million thanks to @aljavieera for doing a call with me way back in 2020 about doing a PhD and encouraging me to reach out to my now advisor, what a gift

Overhearing a fellow graduate student talk about how cool and smart and great my advisor is, she is 100% correct and it's very cute

Hot Labor Summer giving way to The Fall of Capitalism?? Haha jk unless

Honestly kind of mad that I'm actually vibing with a book literally titled "How Not to Kill Yourself"

"You Learn" by Alanis Morisette and "Stay" by Lisa Loeb

@jgarber I know people who don't make it their entire personality and don't want to shade them for doing it (look, I was a high school theater nerd, I get liking stupid self-important stuff) but yikes, the people who do make it their entire personality

Honestly I like her a lot of the time but it was just the most naked cliche of a new Burner I've ever encountered irl and today was the anniversary of the day he got hit by the car so it's on my mind

This time last year when my boyfriend got hit by a car his sister was at her first Burning Man and when she got back a few days later and visited us as he recovered from a concussion she asked him zero questions and just told us about her spiritual breakthrough while at Burning Man

lol
