Studentaid.gov sent an incomprehensible email/acronym salad. Reading between the lines here, but I think the gist was: “Dear Dr. Puckett, despite having paid back much more than you borrowed & having more than enough qualifying work for #pslf, you will die with your #studentloans.” 😭😭

It's rec letter writing season, so I thought I'd share a tiny hack I learned from someone on that other app a while back: Create a signature to respond to requests, so you're not writing the same email over & over (same for other regular requests). Here's mine. #AcademicSky

Anytime someone mentions #skeet on #bluesky, my brain only hears this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYH7... Honestly, not a bad thing.

Okay, here’s a #sociology post, but more of an appreciation post. I had the absolute pleasure of hearing @allisonpugh.bsky.social talk about her latest book, The Last Human Job. She’s remarkable in her ability to examine human connection & is such a great/genuine person, too. Highly recommend!

Mmmmkay. I’m on blue sky. Considering going rogue & never posting anything work-related because academia is a killjoy. Anyone want to hear about shibas, ice cream, or rollerskating instead?
