Are you dreading writing your thesis?

I consider quitting my PhD at least 4 times a week

for @chronicle, I wrote about my experience with mental illness in the academy, alongside @RavynnKaMia, @MistressSnowPhD, @lauraabusta, @S_Mittermeier, @arielmaelambe & more. I hope we help others feel less alone: chronicle.com/article/academ… @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Our very own Deja Perkins (@naturallywild__) helped launch #BlackBirdersWeek, an annual social media movement (happening this week!) that highlights Black bird watchers and outdoor enthusiasts. Learn about the inspiration behind the movement. ⬇️ ncst.at/ZVaA50OARoR

What an incredible opportunity to represent @ESA_Org on the Hill to advocate for @NSF and science funding! Thank you members of Congress @ValerieFoushee, @DonDavisNC, and @RepWileyNickel for your support! #GSPA2023 #SciencePolicy

So inspiring getting to see @ValerieFoushee today while in the #USHouseofRepresentatives advocating for science funding! #ESAGSPA #ESA

Excited to share ⚖️🏞️🪸 research from across NC (@TiraBeckham @sgmoreno) & the importance of fully funding @NSF at $11.9B with our NC Sens @SenThomTillis & @SenTedBuddNC w/ @ESA_policy #gspa2023 to conduct important work for NC @DukeinDC

To every trans or gender non-conforming youth: we see you, you belong, you belong on the sports field, in the classroom, and we love you. To the #NCGA Republicans attacking transgender rights, specifically targeting children: voters will hold you accountable at the ballot box.

Dream moment! Meeting @DrBenChavis along with seeing my old boss @EPAMichaelRegan at the @NCmuseumhistory #RememberingWarrenCounty panel

@coraisconcerned Wow Cora I love your hat! .... oh

So wonderful chatting with @EJinAction at the #NCBreathe conference earlier this month

We should talk more about these numbers. They make so many things about this ridiculous country make sense.

Current Mood. 🥱

I’ve never heard a person say why they’re racist… Or fatphobic.. I’ve never heard a reason why someone is transphobic.. I think if we knew ‘why’ these people felt this way there would way less support for these ideals. Because the ‘why’ is more insidious than we realize.

.@NC_Governor and legislative Democrats will continue to stand up for women’s freedom to make their own healthcare decisions.
