This is literally academia.

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

To be fair, rapture’s free

Apparently my new hobby is making strangers on LinkedIn really mad with my out-of-touch, unrigorous, ignorant *checks notes* pedagogy of care.

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

ICE raids are political violence. Prisons are political violence. Policing is political violence. Supplying weapons to other nations is political violence. Withholding vaccines is political violence. State violence is political violence.

KL and I are bisexuals in a heterosexual relationship with one another because I am "nonbinary: 100% of the genders," and they are "nonbinary: 0% of the genders."

What if all the other animals get raptured, but God is like, "Fuck you, megalomaniacal primates, you stay there and think about what you've done." I'd miss cats so much.

Me: I’m gonna stay off social media for 24 hours. Me, 3 minutes later: *opens Bluesky*

I think my joie de vivre got raptured.

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

The Associated Press is getting the job done today. Thanks, @apnews.com!

New topic: what are you unqualified to talk about? quantum physics; the Peloponnesian War; caterpillars (ew); your mom, probably

Hellloooooo, journalists! Covering the Mon announcement abt #autism?

neurodiversity is Good Actually. just want to say that

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

There's a light buzzing outside my office door.

@momebie.bsky.social and I were JUST talking about how nice it would be to go out dancing among people our age and then get home at a reasonable hour.

"Professor Faber, is it okay if I didn't follow any of the instructions you wrote out and put in multiple, easily accessible places, including a sheet of paper you handed to me directly? I read the instructions after I did the assignment, so I just wanted to make sure that's okay."

Quick reminder that giving birth to an autistic kid doesn't make you a bad parent. 💜

It’s officially fall! 🍂🍁🍃 #whatprofessorswear

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued. Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially. Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

When I got my 1st book contract, my ex's reaction was to ask whether we would get to go on a book tour. He likes to travel, so that's his priority. When I got my most recent book contract, @momebie.bsky.social's reaction was just to be excited for me. They care about me, so that's their priority. 💜

Quick reminder that it's 100% fine to be autistic.

I need a pair of underwear that say "You Probably Think This Thong Is About You"

Way back in 2003, I ran (and lost) for Homecoming queen. Somehow, 22 years later, I wore that same dress to Fat Prom (sponsored by Bigger Bodies Boston).

I regret to inform you that we are hot middle-aged people.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder is like

Because I apparently don’t feel sad enough, I’m now reading about the Cambodian genocide.

It’s cool that folks are like, “cancel streaming and just read books,” but wow do I have some news for you about the publishing industry.

My Great Aunt Anne nearly died of polio as a child. She spent a lot of time in an iron lung. She survived, but she had to wear leg braces and use crutches her entire life. Today, her suffering is 100% preventable through vaccines. Vaccines work.

The 11-week trash strike in the Boston area is over!! They haven't reported the details of the contract yet, but I hope Republic is paying through the nose for all the trouble they've caused our communities and the trash workers. www.wcvb.com/article/repu...

POV you’re the drafts I’ll be reading all day in 1:1 conferences. #whatprofessorswear

Folks are coming to this thread to add ideas, and I love that, but literally someone came into my mentions yesterday to say, "Americans should just stop going to work," and that's what I'm responding to. I'm not saying do nothing. I'm saying stop trying to "one weird trick" your way out of fascism.

Is it “complying in advance”? Or is it “so depressed that basic existence requires all my energy”?

Gonna unfollow everybody except cat accounts to trick myself into believing things are okay right now.

True story: I started flirting with @momebie.bsky.social on OkCupid by literally just quoting OFMD lines at them. Talk like a pirate, marry the love of your life! 🏴‍☠️

I bet it was D.B. Cooper.
