I just graduated, and right as I did the graduate students formed a union. Tenured faculty definitely have more power but I would highly recommend grad students and adjuncts join unions if they can.

My mother was depressed and worked over 40 hour weeks doing physical labor for the latter part of my childhood (single mom). I can’t tell how extreme most cases were/are—but she did worry CPS would take us away.

Oh go fuck yourself

Vote for Sirens everyone. Not only do they look like bird people but they lure men to their deaths.

Actually don’t do that either, you could burn your dick.

You were born before 1977? If so you look great.

Now I haven’t read the books since high school, but the message I got from them was all these rich kids were the WORST and deserved everything bad that happened to them (the poor people were presented more sympathetically). Although it has been years and I was a pretentious little shit.

I was about to say, if she’s that bad at driving there should be some supplementary lessons going on.
