the wool sweaters and long slip dresses from uniqlo are great ~layering pieces~ for work stuff in a pinch. the realreal is also good for nice sweaters and tailored blazers, although sizing can be kinda iffy!

one of my favorite places to work is the cluttered basement of the Jefferson Market Library—it has interesting exhibitions about the neighborhood's history, and I really enjoy how you can find random relics from the library stored seemingly haphazardly throughout the room

The issue is not whether you personally use Microsoft CoPilot to help with slogging through emails, and it’s not about punishing students. Rather, it is about the value of your work, being paid appropriately for it, the importance of learning and intellectual curiosity, being able to have control over your working conditions, and caring about the future of participation in a democratic society.
