It’s always “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, drop out of the public sphere and become a tradwife” and never “Ladies, if you are alienated by overwork, form a union.”

Co-workers have been making fun of Prius drivers. I thought as a society we'd moved past this.

Thought I had escaped academia but every time I see something about Taylor Swift's masters I assume she went to grad school

Why am I always hearing about tradwives but never about tradhusbands?

Told my partner the topic of the new tangent was "daddy politics" and he was like "what does that mean?" sweet, innocent boy didn't understand so I had to explain "it's like dad's home and he's taking his belt off."
My new Tangent “Daddy Politics" is about the psychodynamic and cognitive-linguistic reasons everyone hates freedom and wants to be vigorously spanked like a bad little girl. Up now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/contrapoints...

Went to a yoga class yesterday where the instructor asked, rhetorically I thought, if everyone had been feeling "punchy and stabby" that week because of the planets or fascism. Someone in the class spoke up to say it was because of solar flares.

Really reckoning with the fact that I went to grad school to prove there is nothing wrong with me, which in retrospect is hilarious.

If I can legally fly a Boeing 737 and not crash that will prove there is nothing wrong with me, right?

This season of The Rehearsal almost makes me want to get a commercial pilots license and fly a Boeing 737 full of actors to prove there's nothing wrong with me.

Just had a flashback to senior year observing a freshman goth at another lunch table consuming only two large pixie stix each day. I hope he's ok!
I want to spend a week eating like I did in high school and see if I survive.

I've been watching Twin Peaks, so I'm feeling very Agent Cooper about my dreams lately
Had a nightmare last night that I was being followed by a gang of turkeys. One was waiting outside my door menacingly so I couldn't leave 🦃. What does this mean?

Every time I see a cybertruck in the wild it's like sorry I don't believe a real person bought one of these with their own money. These are paid actors

I don't buy into conspiracy theories because I deeply believe people at every level of government and industry are too incompetent to successfully conspire.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Was telling the two people I supervise about Elon's ketamine use, and neither of them knew what ketamine was. Then I found myself, in middle management, having to justify my rudimentary knowledge of both anesthesia and k-holes at work.
