As a former professor, let me just say that this is complete and utter bullshit, but sadly unsurprising.
At a lot of public universities in the South, administrators do NOT have the backs of their faculty or students, but instead do whatever the Chancellor or Regent (a political appointee) wants.

It’s past time for every reporter in the room to walk out the next time he pulls this shit.
This type of behavior is unacceptable and the fact that everyone stands there just so they don’t miss the next horrible thing he says or does is also unacceptable.

Let’s all take a moment to recognize that the leader of the free world just got a fake “peace” prize from FIFA so he wouldn’t fuck up the World Cup.

Are there any economists who want to comment on any correlation between our impending recession and excessive deportations?

I am currently in the midst of an existential crisis. I love, love, love single serving foods (baby ketchup, I’m looking at you), but also love, love, love the environment.
Any way you companies could also love, love, love the environment and come up with sustainable single serving packaging?

So I figured out that at the rate I’m going (one chapter every five months), I should finish my book in a little less than 15 years.
About the same amount as George R. R. Martin, right?

I haven’t written much this week (I know, I know), but I did manage to get my apartments to lower my rent increase from $150 to only $50, so I guess that’s something productive.
And just in case you’re wondering, that still means my rent will be $2,439 a month for a relatively decent one bedroom.

So let me get this straight. Rich industrialists, etc. made us sick by poisoning the environment and us so they could get richer, made politicians rich so they would let them, and now, after squeezing every last cent out of us, both groups want to take away what’s keeping us alive.
So awesome.

I’m still struggling to understand why Republicans find it perfectly acceptable to give out corporate handouts just because, but the very thought of feeding or providing healthcare for their constituents is a dealbreaker.

Giant corporations are lobbying Donald Trump for yet another tax handout — this time for research they've ALREADY DONE.
Give me a break.
The last thing American families need is a tax code rigged even more for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Those of us with disabilities also deserve to live full, rich lives, including being able to marry without fear of losing our benefits.
Additionally, the resulting stress from our financial instability worsens many of our conditions.

So I woke up in the middle of the night with an idea about my next chapter and I actually remembered to record it before falling back asleep.
So now all I need is another 3,975 words and I’ll have another chapter.
Brain, don’t fail me now!

It’s overcast and humid today, so my body decided it didn’t feel like functioning properly. I’m simultaneously in pain, too hot and yet shivering from cold, nauseous, and dizzy.
Meanwhile, I promised my dad a chapter (since he paid our car insurance for us).
Le sigh.

So my apartment just sent out an email that we’re not allowed to feed the squirrels.
Do you think they’ll accept that we’re feeding the birds but the squirrels come anyway?
Meanwhile, the two baby squirrels are bulking up for winter and even cuter.

My amazing sister sent us some money, so we can pay rent now — yay!
Dealing with financial insecurity when you’re already struggling through living with a disability is fucking insane.
It shouldn’t take over a year to get disability. How are we supposed to live in the meantime???

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I love the food and I love going around the table and saying what we’re thankful for from the past year.
This day gives us chance to relax (except for cooking!) and remember that as bad as things are, some things are still amazing.

I woke up early thanks to a panic attack about money and I’m supposed to have lunch with my Grandma in about 3 hours.
So my options are:
1. Try desperately to go back to sleep, fall asleep for maybe 30 minutes before I have to be up, feel groggy.
2. Doom scroll until it’s time to go, feel groggy.

Does anyone know like 75-100 people that could spare $20 a month to help me out? Even 50 people could make a big difference in my life.
I’m lucky to have great Medicaid living in CA but the rent here is outrageous and we’re paying more for car insurance than we are for our one car.
