2021 tweet from @oliviastowell: "the thing about academia is that no matter how 'successful' you become you will always be an adult wearing a backpack"

I literally think about this tweet almost every single day as I, an adult, put on my backpack and get on the bus to go to school.

I spent a nice chunk of my evening scripting out calls to make to my representatives tomorrow while I'm inevitably sitting waiting for my data to process.

It's not much, but it's better than nothing, and making some kind of plan feels better than just doomscrolling all night.

As someone who lived in AZ at the time and voted for Sinema and then moved to PA and voted for Fetterman, this has burned me so bad

How did we get to the point where the apparent goal of one of the major political parties in the US is to dismantle and destroy the country as a whole? And how are the people whose jobs it is to stop this bullshit just standing by and watching it happen?

I mostly just lurk on here and like things, but most of the things I like are dog pics, which is actually a genre of content I can contribute to.

This is Jellybean and he is a doofus and I love him with my entire heart.
