As an aside, I do think word processors are going to be less important for people to have. I think for day to day needs, markdown is going to become the de facto standard, especially since it can be read by so many programs, it's a small file, and it's machine readable.
Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

I cannot begin to describe to people how many times I've been misgendered in my life. When I was working a highly-communicative but mostly faceless job, I'd say it was something like 80% of interactions with new people over email assumed I was a woman.

As an IT professional - don’t do this. A good phishing testing strategy involves not enraging your users. There’s a lot of better ways to do this that don’t make you seem like a huge dickhole.
this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

I'm pretty sure the winner is in this group. Yeah it's been all women voted out but there are some *really* strong players here. Thiên An is my sleeper. We haven't seen a lot but what I've seen I really like #survivor #survivor51
Don't make unnecessary journeys, don't take risks on treacherous roads, and don't swim in the sea! #Survivor #Survivor51

I would probably already be dead if I didn't get access to ADHD meds a few years ago. I'm 100% serious.
Systematic review relevant to the discourse on diagnoses and meds. "ADHD was associated with increased all-cause mortality, suicide mortality, unintentional or intentional injury mortality, and natural-cause mortality, whereas ADHD medication use was associated with reduced all-cause mortality."

This is such a good point, as someone who has only held contingent/NTT roles for over a decade, I was drawn to Twitter and, otherwise, building relationships online because I was physically unable to build community with my colleagues (either I didn't have an office or lived 2 hours from campus)
The other thing that is missing here is that the turn to online platforms among millennial humanities academics isn’t all about declining opportunities in the academy; it’s also about the rupturing of the possibilities for intellectual camaraderie within the neoliberal university.

Replying to @jamellebouie.net
the other thing is that conservatives resolutely do not see the purpose of education as providing social mobility but as reifying and deepening existing inequalities of status. they are as hostile to low income students getting admission to elite institutions as they are black ones.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

You should pay property taxes but only when you have a mortgage is a bizarre belief
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
