I love the way Dr. Uju Anya frames her social media presence as public scholarship.

The insights you have shared on social media are valuable and have helped influence countless teachers

Yes you have to pick a specific white man and take his job. I recommend starting with the president.

Lemon lime! They actually published the real flavors for each on their website. And looking it up, I forgot about pixie lights! That one was good too

And, for what it’s worth, I actually really enjoy cottage cheese but some of these recipes look *barf*

Protein, apparently. Women of a certain age need more protein (true) so influencers find ways to add it to everything from baked goods to dinner entrees

One thing I’ve learned from being on Instagram is that if you’re a woman over 30, you shouldn’t eat anything that doesn’t contain cottage cheese.

And I totally sent this to my friend who suggested it

I guess we’re “geriatric” hotties 😂
Screenshot of an online article titled “suddenly birding is the hot girl hobby of the year” with the subtitle: What once was a pastime with a "geriatric tinge" has taken off with Gen Z — a trend that's good for not only our souls, but also for birds and the environment at large. The image features a woman crouched down with binoculars pointing at a bird out of frame

Yessss!! That’s why she mentioned it because I was saying there should be an app that identifies bird sounds like the ones that will tell you the name of a song you don’t know. So glad it exists!
