Emily Thompson

Some ~personal news~ I’m being sued for an article I wrote for the @TuftsDaily. The paper published the complaint this morning. Read it here: tuftsdaily.com/news/2022/03/2…

“At first I thought the austerity was cruelty. Later I came to see it as a kind of mercy: a place where nothing was expected of you but to endure.” @em1lythomp2on just wrote the most amazing piece, check it out open.substack.com/pub/em12164289…

"It is strange how quickly such a place can become a kind of home. Not in the sense of comfort, but in recognition—this is where I am, this is who I am among. The world outside recedes, its vastness muted, and the ward becomes the measure of reality."

first week of seminary!

i love being a grad student i just got assigned a reading about how we get assigned so many readings

elfreth representing the majority of the shore just feels weird to me i’m sorry incumbents. give it to a democrat from easton or salisbury

“we collectively hallucinated a discourse cycle…We created critique of cultural response out of sheer preemptive exhaustion, like we’re so used to having the takes shoved in our faces that we assume they must already exist.” @em12164289/note/p-166203147?r=1h6vbq" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@em12164289/no…

if only i hadn’t treated twitter like linkedin when i was 17, i could share the most insane and profound experiences ive had this past week… alas, i must not reveal myself too much to the staff of every MD politician and the comptroller in the case of a potential career pivot

good morning

@AbiNoelCarter i keep looking for y’all on the tv! hope it’s a great time :)

@em1lythomp2on Can confirm!! #blessed

the one thing i’ve learned from twitter today is that maryland has great seats at the dnc congrats guys

i can’t comprehend the universe where this was only four years ago — taken from the guest room at my grandparents house

i’m spreading the eastern shore gospel to massachusetts natives

ok i’m done being earnest i’m going to go back to posting abt how much i hate larry hogan

Tufts is weird and lovely and often frustrating. It was also a dream come true. Now I’m off to Yale Divinity School — hopefully with less doctor’s appointments and more people and community to love💙💙 (i also hope this partially explains why i went mia for a sec there oops)

I can’t make this grad post without saying how incredibly blessed I am for my “cloud of witnesses.” My friends, family, professors, employers, and healthcare providers have given me relentless grace, care, and support. Reliable healthcare saved me. It absolutely is a human right

I honestly didn’t think I would graduate with my class — I’ve spent 13 weeks this year in partial or full hospitalization. Statistically, I was 70% less likely than my peers to finish college and 1 in 5 people die from what I’ve been struggling with these past three years.

I graduated from Tufts on Sunday with a bachelors in Religion and Political Science🤍

@graceoffrecord wait… literally (almost) the same

finished my religion major at 11:14pm on a sunday
