Y'all wanna hear a weird food take? In my heart I believe the normalization of drinkable stimulants like coffee was one of the lowkey worst things to happen humans and as a result, the planet.

When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place — here are 56 of them 🧵

ok i am rebranding my lifelong fear of driving and inability to get my license as an ‘ethical opposition to car culture’

It’s still happening. #Frogs are still being reported sick & dying across #Australia. Last night during fieldwork in #Sydney I found a just dead green stream #frog (Litoria phyllochroa). And it’s not the first I’ve found. Heartbreaking. 😢 Pls report any to [email protected]

When I was in college I won a cash prize for my senior thesis and when my advisor told me I blurted out “Oh thank god I haven’t been able to afford groceries for a month!” (which was true!) and I’ll never forget the look of horror on his face.

Accommodating depression: A student struggling with major depression fell off the face of the earth for a few weeks. They resurfaced and asked if they could make up the work they missed. I said of course. They were confused. "Will I get points marked off?" 1/5

If my depressed student could do the work, I imagine they would. They, however, couldn't. Because their brain blocked them from being able to do much of anything. Will they always be like this? Maybe. I don't know. Will I still accommodate? Yes, why not? 3/5
