Men like this love to pull out the "your grandkids won't care what your thesis was about" card like a gotcha, but it's wrong. We absolutely care. Often we realize too late how much the older women in our lives had to say

The ‘Just look at the degree on that chick’ twitter trend is one of the best things to happen to my twitter feed What do you mean it’s full of beautiful, highly educated women who’ve all studied interesting things??

"just look at the degree on that chick"
"just look at the degree on that chick" I did my doctorate as I love my subject, wanted to make a contribution to knowledge, and enjoy teaching. My husband was proud and supported me through it (as I did him through his) but that is hardly why I pursued it! Great set of QTs!

Nevermind that “IQ” is an ill-supported, pretty screwed up measure for *any purpose,* this is a profoundly eugenicist take that ignores the beautiful, complicated, and profound lives of disabled folks? Plz miss me with this garbage.
Before you read a novel, calculate the average IQ of its characters. Don't waste your time reading about low IQ individuals

My only real contribution to the Taylor Swift "discourse" is that But Daddy I Love Him is still *the* anthem for autistic girls who grew up in evangelical settings.

I often tell my students that I’ve litigated nearly all the amendments but they should call me if they have a Third Amendment case so I can collect the whole set. It is supposed to be a joke. 🫠

Katabasis is the funniest, most on-point critique of academic culture that I have ever read. 10/10 recommend.

Hey @taylorswift13 I’m free October 3rd. Lemme know
Taylor Swift is rumored to be releasing a film for her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, on October 3rd. Several theaters have reserved screenings for a yet-to-be-released movie.

RKF's false medical claims are bad for pregnant and disabled people alike.
The second article in my new series on the Criminalization of Motherhood discusses RFK's nonsensical claim about taking Tylenol while pregnant causing autism and the history of policing drug use while pregnant https://t.co/MQkFaUoAZt
