One of the weirdest paradoxes of academic life is that you have a ton of control over your schedule except for the hours you are in the classroom, where it is suddenly like, "No I can't just call my boss and say I'm not coming in that morning because that's when I could get a doctor's appointment"

Todo ano, é uma grande aventura para comprar o calendário da Droga Raia. Esse ano @anapvial.bsky.social salvou o ano! O que os meus alunos iam pensar se não vissem o clássico calendário de farmácia na minha parede?

The energy I’m taking into 2025

*whispers* this is what the delay email send feature is for, folks clear out your inbox but not at the expense of others!

If Fernanda Torres doesn’t win an Oscar this year, Brazilians might start a war.

I think this idea of "starter pack" lists on BlueSky is really useful for academics switching to this platform, but the way some people are just gatekeeping who can or cannot be on these lists is *CRAZY*.

Me realizing that all of the tasks I have been procrastinating for the past weeks only take 10~15min to get done.
