Me: it really feels like the world is ending. Grad student: didn’t we have this exact conversation 6 years ago when they sent us home because of covid. The world is always ending

I think this war might actually lead to regime change, just not Iran

Still have a snack and a nap when I come home from school because academics are toddlers
