Community College Psychology professor, rock concert goer, and sad NY Giants fan pretty much sums me up

She was born July 4, 1956, and died seven years ago, today. She did incredible things along the way. I’m grateful to every person who shared their memories of her with me before this story published and in the years since. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/education/ar...

Lucky charms makes my poop bright colors.

I learn this roughly once per year, and panic for a minute before I remember

100% true story - a student complained to HR a few weeks ago because I used him as an example during my lecture of narcissism in class.

This is exactly what I thought - have the students you have a good relationship with file some spurious complaints, spend a week in Puerto Rico

"There’s likely a one in three chance that an attractive young woman without a college degree outside a major city is on OnlyFans" may be one of the most bullshit things I've read in a long time

It is fun to prove to them that "photographic memory" is as real as a unicorn

Everything I know about therapy, I know from sitting on the "this is expensive" side of the couch...so just pure exhausting

I'm a Cognitive Psychologist who studies false memories in eyewitness scenarios - so anything about psychoanalysis or "do you think I'm crazy?"

About 25 years ago, Bob Jovi was putting out a new album and played halftime at a Giants game.
The crowd spent most of his show chanting "we want Bruce!"

As an academic, I've long abused college ILL's for all sorts of things - and if someone has a friend taking classes at any local college, easy to get books that way, too

I hadn't thought of it in years.

I hate you, Brian

This is 100% right - MTG is pivoting now so that she can run against Vance in the 2028 primary as the "true heir" of MAGA
