My 7 week old has been in the hospital for the terrifyingly named “failure to thrive” for what will be five nights tonight. She just can’t get enough calories. It should work out eventually but it’s a lot. I don’t believe in prayers but I still welcome them—and good thoughts too.

@jeffguhin I haven’t believed in God for a long time (maybe ever), but this album is one of my favorites.

@JuliaTicona1 @ftripodi I remember hearing that fatalistic narrative all through my years in coursework, too. Thanks, @JuliaTicona1 and @ftripodi, for ensuring that it couldn't survive to the next generation.

As grads, @ftripodi & I were assigned an actual peer reviewed paper in a class that spelled out how few grads our dept placed at R1s…and were expected to discuss this paper in terms of its contributions to the literature…

Just out of curiosity, retweet if you were told by a teacher or advisor you couldn’t be where you are today.

@jeffguhin I'd recommend Glo, and trying several different instructors to see whose style resonates for you. Personal recs: Jason Crandell would be great to start with (very precise cues!), and Kathryn Budig if you want a faster-paced practice later on.

My therapist says I should get into yoga but I'm not comfortable with going to a class right now. Any recommendations for online courses? I don't mind paying as long as it's not insanely expensive.
